How can I resolve this?

Here is me successfully signing the keystore:

Answer 1

In Windows->Preferences->Android->Build you can just change your DEBUG KEYSTORE. The Keystore you specify there, is not for signing an app for release, but just for debugging.

Like the default debug keystore, the custom debug keystore needs to have the following:

Keystore password: "android"
Key alias: "androiddebugkey"
Key password: "android"

Except for the name of the keystore itself, information about the organizational units and the key behind the alias, all data have to be same as the default debug keystore

Answer 2

The obly thing i can advise is to check the password for the appropriate language and case, and also make sure your keystore is in consistent state(but don't have a clue how to do it, if you haven't generated checksum).

The general advise for keystores: always make a backup.

Also, keystore is the thing to make sure you're one who have created the application in the moment of updating it. IOW, it is a tool to let only you update your application.
