Access denied when creating keystore for Android app

Below steps worked for me:

1. Run command prompt as administrator

2. Unchecked the read only options in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin This may not be required

3. keytool -genkey -v -keystore d:\my_private_key.keystore -alias my_key_alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Tell it to create it in drive D:.

It does help you. You have to specify the location of the file that will be generated. For example specify C:\Documents and Settings\loginname\market.keystore
