Hi Guys,
How to unlock or recover or extract password protected folder that is archived using .7z zip.
I have been searching for 2 days and not found working solution for this.
I have tried with 7zcracker and unlock rar password remover s/w, none of them worked.
Please let me know is there any third party tool or s/w that do this work.
Thnx in advnc.

By lock, you probably mean decrypt. 7Zip uses AES256 encryption. My advice would be to download the command line version of 7Zip and then write a PowerShell script to perform a dictionary style hack. Do you have any clue what the password might be?
