digital signature - Import Signing Certificate is Failing -

i attempting create certificate private key (.pfx) can use within application create , verify digital signatures. want install certificate certificate store (windows).

i having issues importing certificate onto local machine. certificate import wizard reporting 'the password entered incorrect'. referring password private key in pfx file have created.

now know fact password correct, there must other factor in play here.

the script using create key batch file , contains following command:

makecert -r -pe -n "cn=%1" -b 01/01/2010 -e 01/01/2060 -sky signature %1.cer -sv %1.pvk pvk2pfx.exe -pvk %1.pvk -spc %1.cer -pfx %1.pfx 

does know causing import wizard tell me 'the password entered incorrect'?

as markw pointed out, try entering password command line instead of typing dialog, eg:

pvk2pfx -pvk test.pvk -pi p4sswd -spc test.cer -pfx test.pfx -po p4sswd
