Which one is free? ???

Hi YaakovS,

I have downloaded fcrackzip-bin-win32-0.3.zip, 19641 bytes, 2006-01-26 11:08:40 and extracted and when i run the exe nothing happened. My workstation OS is windows XP and do i need to register dll file if any to make the program working, pls advice.

Sorry about that, you need to use it from the command prompt (just click start>run and type cmd) and use it from there, type "h" in that directory to get more info.

   Though here`s another couple that you can use (also free and they should be easier to use the only thing is that they require installation (you can always uninstall afterwards).

For this one they ask you for a registration number (whcih they supposedly send you for free (i didn't try that myself though).

Hi Yakkov,

i have used Picozip to recover my lost  zip file password.

here is the result after brute-force method.

No passwords were recovered.

Total Time: 582.838 s
Total Passwords Tested: 14796506
Passwords Tested per Second: 25387

if i buy the software zippassword, will it solve the problem, pls advice.

   There`s a setting for how long of a password do you want it to try, by default i think it tries for a 4 characters, so maybe your password is longer then that and that`s why it didn`t find it.

    I`m not sure if i was clear, but what i meant to say was that if the password you are trying to retrieve is longer then 4 characters then with the default settings it won`t find it (you just need to tell it look for more characters) also before you try buying software if this one doesn`t do it for you (i tested it before and worked fine for me) you probably should try the other link i gave you and just email them to send you a registration key (free).

i hv set the min length 4 and max 7 th and does this recovery will take weeks to complete! pLs advice

I have tried your Visual Zip password recovery processor but it doest recovery my password. I set the min to 1 length and Max were 13, but it was showing my password might be above 13 charcter, but i am very sure that my password length is less than 8 character.

I have tried to run the Picozip recovery tool for 3 days, but after 3 days it give me some error and terminated automatically and my having a very good configuration also. (HP pavilion Notebook Pentium 4 2.0 ghz processor).

If i buy the  zip password(http://lastbit.com/zippsw/default.asp)for $35, will it make any difference? Does it give 100% guarantee that this tool can recover my password. Pls advice

 Well before i take a look at the software, did you set it to check for numbers (and other special characters) also, because i just took a look at the default settings and by default it doesn`t.

I have check everthing, still shows me my passwords exceeds 19 character.


Analysing of file: C:\Documents and Settings\nye\Desktop\Myfile.zip
Charset is:
A..Z
a..z
0..9
!@#$...
Space
Minimal password length: 1
Maximal password length: 19
All files in archive was used.

Current mode: Automatic mode. Press Go and wait
passwords exceeds 19 character.

  Try clicking on Mode and changing it to Brute Force.

i have tried the brute force, and i tried to leave my notebook for  5 hours, when i came back software showing,

"User interupted the process" . I have tried the above action a couple of times. but still facing same mesaage.

If i buy software zip password , will it be the same?

That message "user interrupted process" i believe means that it won`t look further because it`s a unregistered version (which if that`s the case it obviously won`t recover the password for you (unless of course your using a registered version in which case then there must be a different reason for it), i don`t know why none of these programs worked for you (are you sure that`s it`s a winzip file?) But as for the one that you linked to, they have a money back guarantee - but only for Word and Excel files, so basically there`s no guarantee that you`ll get better results using their software (i don`t see why you would).

Did you try pkzip?

Hi Yaakov,

I tried all the software you have instructed me to use, it doesnt workout for my case. If i send the zip file to your email adress,will u able to recove the password. This files contains my vb program sorcecode, no confidential informatios are there. Kindly advice

  I would have no problem trying (no guarantees obviously) but i`m not sure if that`s allowed according to the rules.

I have tried one software Advanced Archive Password History, and selected the plain text attack since i got one file which i copied in my hardisk before encrpted using winzip. The software shows me a message after 10 mins that password found and need to buy the full version becuase of the password lenth which wont support in evaluation software.

They extracted one file from my password protected files.

Is there any software will provide plain text winzip password for free, regardless of password length.???

Hi All ,

i bought the zippassword software and by plain text attack i was managed to decrypt my file. Thanks alot for alll the inputs on this issue.
