Navigate to the .android folder in your home directory ~/.android (Linux,Mac OS) or C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\.android in Windows XP or C:\Users\.android in Windows Vista or Windows 7, and delete the debug.keystore file. Then go to eclipse and clean the project, this will create a new debug.keystore file with default validity period 365 days.

For Linux user: Delete your debug certificate (debug.keystore and ddms.cfg) under ~/.android/debug.keystore

For Windows user: Delete your debug certificate (debug.keystore and ddms.cfg) under
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.android
