Google service account googlecredentail auth without using json and pk12

Question

I have a GoogleCredential object for master account and have service account for EMM. And I want to create a GoogleCredential object for service account. But I dont have json or pk12 for service account. How can I create GoogleCredential object for service account. I am doing this in JAVA?

GoogleCredential credentials = new GoogleCredential.Builder().setTransport(sHttpTransport).setJsonFactory(sJsonFactory)
                        .setServiceAccountScopes(scopes)
.setServiceAccountId("879259a0f06e2b1e570b7bd4124c1bbc5c607cf0")
                        .setServiceAccountUser("useremail")
                     .setServiceAccountPrivateKey(serviceAccountPrivateKey)
                        .build();

But this is failing, and trowing exception like below,

1. Open the IAM & Admin page in the GCP Console.

2. Select your project and click Continue.
