1) What should I not do?

This challenge does not require to bypass the password input

2) what should I do?

This challenge asks to get the key wherever possible

3) Is the program in question copyright protected?

No, you can do what you want

4) The password has hashed? NO

5) Has the password been encrypted? Yes

Solved.
Here the step that i made to solve it.

Spoiler

Apart from the dirty serial chosen the level in my opinion is 3/10.

I choose the quick way to solve it:
1) Develop a quick application to sniff the signature of the original apk

public String getSignature()
{
	PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
	PackageInfo pi = null;
	try 
	{
		pi = pm.getPackageInfo("windoz.crackme", PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES);
	}
	catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e1) 
	{
		e1.printStackTrace();
	}
	Signature[] s = pi.signatures;

	String sig = "";

	try {
		MessageDigest v0 = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
		v0.update(s[0].toByteArray());
		String v1 = Base64.encodeToString(v0.digest(), 0);

		sig = md5(v1);
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}

	return sig;
}

This give us the MD5 hash of the app signature: "7c4d08d09b241fcd39f3c76ad6e8a3f6"

- Create another application using the same package name "windoz.crackme"
- Import native lib in the project and call it. It will give us the key implemented in the native layer encoded in base64:  "jiuLEylUcz8Uf9D9WpMooquanxkbMu1B1kcRTJn5C58="

- At this point we have all data to decrypt the correct serial.
