I password protected a ZIP file a long time ago and can’t remember the password. Is there a way I can get it back, or remove the password?

    I actually did try JtR but it was taking forever. Original format is .zip.

      I would take that as your biggest hope. Do you know the length of the password?

          How much is “fairly long”?

          What do you know about the password?

            Like 15 characters or so is usually how long my PWs are.

              If that’s all random characters, you’re not going to crack that by brute force in your lifetime.
