title: Why I get "The specified PFX password is not correct" when trying to sign application with signtool?
body: <p>I followed this <a href="https://bytescout.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&amp;_a=viewarticle&amp;kbarticleid=296" rel="noreferrer">link</a>
   to sign my exe application.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I installed SDK tool on Windows 7,</p></li>
  <li><p>run    <code>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin&gt;makecert.exe -sv App-O.pvk -n "CN=MY DIGITAL KEY" App-O.cer</code></p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Dialog opened to provide password:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Nur3L.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>I wrote password : 'fess'</p>
  
  <p>new window opened:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4RUWH.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>I entered: 'fess'</p>
  
  <p><code>#Succeeded</code></p>
  
  <p>files App-O.cer and App-O.pvk creaded.</p>
  
  <p>now I generate pfx:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pvk2pfx.exe -pvk App-O.pvk -spc App-O.cer -pfx App-O.pfx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Dialog opened to provide password:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GCqv3.png" alt="enter image description here"> </p>
  
  <p>i pasted 'fess'</p>
  
  <p>file pfx created.</p>
  
  <p>Now i run signtool:</p>
  
  <pre><code> C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin&gt;signtool.exe sign /f "App-O.pfx" /p fess "C:\Output\setup.exe"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here I got the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SignTool Error: The specified PFX password is not correct.
  
  Number of files successfully Signed: 0
  Number of warnings: 0
  Number of errors: 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What did I miss?</p>
  
  <p>BTW, the same error I get from CMD shell of Windows SDK.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
