What is the password for the Java default trusted keystore file: "cacerts"? The Java Keytool prompts me for a password when I try to access it.

The default password for the Java trusted keystore file is "changeit", as shown in the following tutorial: 

C:\Users\fyicenter>"\Program Files\java\jre7\bin\keytool" -list
-keystore "\Program Files\java\jre7\lib\security\cacerts"

Enter keystore password: changeit

Keystore type: JKS

Your keystore contains 79 entries
