Lost keystore

I had uploaded my app to Android Market buzztouch 1.4 some time ago. Today I updated the app, but I had deleted the previous keystore and created new. Now market says, that The apk must be signed with the same certificates as the previous version. But I don't have this certificate, and don't want to delete and upload once again the application, because it have active users. What can I do to sign app with new certificate? Some guys had suggested me extract certificate using jar keytools but i don't know, how to use it this link http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html Please help me . .. .

I have a similar problem. I have all of the original files but I don't know how to locate my certificate. When I tried uploading the update I get the following error message: The apk must be signed with the same certificates as the previous version.

Two problems: Recovering deleted keystore - Unless you reformated the hard drive, it's probably still on there somewhere. Go to your pc guru or search web for details. Locating keystore - use the search files on your computer. Fred

Fortunately my Mac backed it up and I was able to recover it.
