Hi Duane

Official response of recovering a lost signing key / password:

Sorry to have to say this to you, however since our signing key policy change we do not provide keys for download nor do we provide passwords on request.

Just for some clarification on the unlocking/building issue. We currently only check the validity of your password on a build attempt. Hence why you are able to unlock the key but not build with it.

The policy was a measure set in place to minimize the damage a potential hacker could do to you (our user). Essentially, if a user was able to access both your signing key and password they could sign any binary with your issuer name.

Again we're sorry for the inconvenience.

I lost my keystore file, and must compile my app locally with cordova. So strongly encouraged if possible send me the file I uploaded in build.phonegap.com.
My app id is 1072932 and alias is 'motoneta'
