Unfortunately you can not recover that now from .jks file. You need to create new keystore password

if your app is already in the store it won't let you upload the new apk since it will be signed differently, and you won't be able to update it. If your app is not in the store yet, you can create a new keystore and push your app to the store. It's always better to email yourself the keystore key to save it before uploading your apk to the store.

I have .jks file – Paras Arora May 31 '18 at 14:04
this is like signing a check, if the check is not signed by the person who wrote it, the bank wont accept it – Gastón Saillén May 31 '18 at 14:04

TRY THIS IT HELPED ME RECOVER MY PASSWORD

Search for folder .gradle

under it go to latest folder in my case it is 4.6

go to taskHistory folder

under it open taskHistory.bin file

search for Password keyword in that file

and you will eventually find your stored password for that keystore file.

refer the screenshots.
