No way to re-enter an incorrect keystore password

Yesterday, I tried to rebuild my Android app, and accidentally entered in the wrong password. I realized my mistake after the I got the 'incorrect password' message after attempting to build, however it is not possible in the current UI to change an incorrect password once it has been locked -- the only thing you can do is wait an hour until your password has been locked, and try to re-enter. Can you please take a look at this?
Thanks

Sorry, just to clarify, I was referring to the keystore password -- once the keystore has been unlocked, there is now way to change the password...

Hi Daryl

Yes it is possible. Go to https://build.phonegap.com/people/edit > Signing Keys [tab] and click the 'Lock/Unlock' button and supply a correct password.

Thanks

I'd just like to suggest that there be a more accessible way to re-lock a key... It's not very intuitive. Had to search a while to find it.

Agree with Jason. I needed to come back here a second time to actually find where this is in the interface. Not at all where it should be, where someone would look for it (should be able to click "Error" from builds to re-enter password, or be prompted when error occurs after Rebuild All).

Agreed, very frustrating. Even the "you can fix this here" link in the error just takes you to the help docs with no mention of where to resupply the password. I had to find this thread to figure out where to go.... 5 years later!
