Get ready so you can learn How to Recover a Password-Protected ZIP File, which we will tell you about today.

Setting a password for ZIP files is an excellent way to lock one's information from intruders. That is the case if the intruder accessed the file but was unable to access or extract any of its information for the reason of not knowing the password.

When you compile these tools, such as 7-Zip and WinRAR, you can put password protection on a file in compilation. Where the problems start is when you make such a special password that you yourself cannot remember.

ZIP format is one of the most popular and extensively used file formats for compressing the files.

Fortunately, we have good news: yes! It is quite possible to recover the password for ZIP files! You need to fulfill these conditions first, then we can go ahead and give you the steps to do this:

How to Recover the Password for a ZIP File




We are going to use a free open-source application called ZipRipper that will decrypt the password of our ZIP. To download the code, have a look at its GitHub page. 


Go to the GitHub website of ZipRipper and click "Code."


From here, click "Download ZIP" from the dropdown menu. 


Click the option to "Download ZIP" to download ZipRipper.


Now, with the help of 7-Zip, WinRAR, or any other suitable application, extract the "ZipRipper-main" folder to whatever location you prefer. 


Extract the "ZipRipper-main" folder. 


When done, in the extracted folder, the "ZipRipper.cmd" file can be run by double-clicking it. 


Double-click the "ZipRipper.cmd" file.


When the pop-up window appears, click Yes. In a second, a small outline should appear on your screen. Click Start to get started.  

Find the "Start" button and click it.  


From this point, a pop-up window will appear. Find the ZIP file whose password you want recovered, then click the Open button after targeting this file.  


Select the ZIP file whose password you want recovered.


Once the application has downloaded some resources, it will start attempting to retrieve the password. From here, once the downloads are complete, a pop-up window may appear; select "No". 


Just be patient and let this process finish.


Password recovery is the most time-consuming and painful process. The time it will take depends on the strength of the password and your system's capability, anything from mere minutes to several weeks. Fortunately, session storage is allowed, and you can pick it up later from where you left off. Once the password recovery process is finished, the password will be shown in the window and also as a popup.


Yellow colour will be used for highlighting the obtained password.


Besides, the password can be accessed at any time in the "ZipRipper-Passwords.txt" text document, which gets saved onto your desktop.


That's how we finish our tutorial about How to Recover a Password Protected ZIP File, hoping we were as informative as possible.
