Lost my keystore password and key password,. but have the pepk file and the jks file, need to update the app

Question

I just updated my android studio to 4.0, I didn't store the passwords anywhere., Its just the same .jks key am using to sign the apk, and Now I am not able to generate signed apk. 1 week before I generated the app using the same key, and it worked. Now not., I tried searching in logs. no use,. I tried searching in taskHistory and executionHistory. Another problem is If I click generate signed apk, nothing is happening now. But I am able to create new keystore and generate the apk.

I just found my keystore password. by typing this command.

keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\User1\Desktop\try\keystoreone.jks"

It asked for keystore password, and I tried one by one, and my usual password worked, the keystore file opened to reveal the details. But how do I find the key alias password?

But playstore only allows if I sign using the same keystore file. without knowing the password, how can I? — user13408818

If youre enrolled in App Signing by Google Play then you can just contact support and send them a new pepk or pem otherwise you will have to create a new app.
