Answer 1

First i wentto the bin directory and then

get where your debug.key is ..mainly at the .android and it worked like a charm

where androiddebugkey is the name you give

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\bin>keytool -exportcert -list -v -alias androiddebugkey  -keystore C:\Users\001557\.android\debug.keystore

Answer 2

There are times when your .android folder is present in the C:\Documents and Settings path. Often, because of the spaces in Documents and Settings, the command will not run properly.

It's better if you just create a test folder under C: and put your debug.keystore file in this folder. Then give the path as:

keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\test\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android 

This works. If somebody is facing issues and getting an error on this command, you can try your luck with this.
