Compressing your files or folders in ZIP archives is a good way of keeping everything in a single place, and it makes it easier to copy or share. And by putting passwords on them, you can make sure that the data won't be seen by any unwanted eyes.

However, if you forget the password and did not back up the compressed files, then they will be inaccessible to you too. Thankfully, if this does happen, you can have ZIP Password Recovery to help you out.

The program comes with an intuitive, user-friendly interface. What you need to do is simply select the locked ZIP file from your PC and you are ready to continue.

The final step is to select the method of recovery. After that, you just need to wait. The process may take some time, depending on how long the password was.

If you wish, you also have an option to shut down the computer once the decryption is done. You don't need to worry about not being able to see the password in time, as it will be automatically saved in the installation folder.

As mentioned earlier, the program has multiple ways of recovering the password, three to be more exact. The first is the brute force attack, that simply tries every possible character combination, which obviously will take the longest.

The second one is the mask attack. For this one, you can adjust the program to only use characters that you believe the password contained. For example, if you are certain it didn't have any numbers or capital letters, you can uncheck those, and the application will exclude them from the decryption process.

And the third one is the dictionary attack. For this one, you can use an inbuilt or a customized dictionary so the program can check only for specific words.

If you ever forget a password for a ZIP archive, then ZIP Password Recovery will be more than useful to unlock the file.
