Delete your debug certificate under **~/.android/debug.keystore** on Linux and Mac OS X; the directory is something like **%USERPROFILE%/.android** on Windows.\
The Eclipse plugin should then generate a new certificate when you next try to build a debug package. You may need to clean and then build to generate the certificate.
