How to get MD5 certification fingerprint

I have created my own Keystore and to get the MD5 Certification Fingerprint Key , I am writing the following command :

C:\Users\XX\.android>keytool -list -alias mykey -keystore mykey.keystore

and it returns 

mykey, 16 Jul, 2012, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (SHA1): 40:6A:97:77:FE:25:55:25:03:D2:8E:93:FD:74:21:A7:52:XX:YY:ZZ

whereas I was looking for MD5 key because whenever I am trying to obtain GoogleMap Api Key using this it says : 

    The fingerprint that you entered is not valid.

Please help me to get the MD5 key. Also if possible briefly describe what is the difference between these two types keys

Thanks.

just add -v after keytool

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin>keytool -v -list -alias
androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android

I thinks the query is not correct ,

C:\Users\XX.android>keytool -list -alias mykey -keystore mykey.keystore

because for a md5 key you first go to jdk bin 

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin> 

then run the following command  
keytool -list -alias the_alias_name_of_keystore -keystore
keystore_with_full_path  like

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin>keytool -list -alias map -keystore
D:\SampleMap

and  it gives you output like

Enter keystore password:
SampleMap, Apr 6, 2012, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 4F:63:53:33:33:5A:79:F6:53:C2:33:E6:E7:A6:8F:C9
