I have lost password of keystore file used to sign my apk. I cannot update my app now and I think I have to release it as new app by signing it with new keystore. Is it possible to decrypt keystore file as I have keystore file and password is present in keystore file. Or can anyone provide me with link of program that is used to brute force password. If anyone of you have been able to recover password of keystore file please share your method. Thanks in advance.

It's unfortunate, but when you lose your keystore, or the password to your keystore, your application is orphaned. The only thing you can do is resubmit your app to the market under a new key.
Resolution. The only way to recover is then to create a duplicate keystore with a new store password. All of the certs from the original trustore can be copied as-is into the new keystore. We will use /opt/CA/jre/lib/security/cacerts as the example but this will work with any Java Keystore (jks).
Keystore is a binary file that contains a set of private keys. Private key represents the entity to be identified with the app, such as a person or a company. So Keystore password is used to open a keystore and simple password is password of private entity stored in keystore file..!!
I use this one for bruteforce at the moment: Android keystore password recover
