    Usage

    • Computer users who have forgotten or lost the password to a zipped file will not be able to open the archive and access its contents through traditional means such as the Windows extractor or a program such as WinZip. Instead, he may attempt to open the file with a password retrieval tool intended specifically for this type of file.

    Solution

    • If possible, the user can contact the creator of the zipped archive and inquire as to the archive's password. Otherwise, she can download free programs such as Advanced Zip Password Recovery, which is available on CNet. Alternatively, she can purchase one of the commercially-available programs including ZipCure, Zip Key or Advanced Archive Password Recovery.

    Considerations

    • Typically, password location software for Zip files supports archives that users create with WinZip and PKZip. However, Advanced Archive Password Recovery can also retrieve passwords for RAR archives from the WinRar program as well as ARJ and ACE archives.
