I am a freakin idiot.....help please

[slipperyslope]

Right before I came home for christmas holidays I decided that certain questionable things on my computer should not be accessable to my mom. I decided to zip everything up and password protect it. This included all my old email backups and other things I won't mention

i must have hit a wrong key or I have just plain forgotten what password I used because i can't get it to unzip. I have tried every password I have ever used to no avail.

Does anyone know any free programs to crack the zip password. I would pay one of these one time services to crack it but I don't free right sending all my email to them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I used winzip's password protection.

JayPatel, No. AltaVista is a search engine. Astalavista is a crack search engine.

the kind that typically 15-24 year olds have on their computer.......btw I am sure that a brute force cracker would work but all the demos that I can find only go up to 3 characters and I know I did a password larger than that.

They take a long time to crack the password. Believe me (the bigger/more characters the password have... the longer it takes to crack it)... I speak with experience.


BTW - Last time I used one of those was like a year ago. It might be faster now.
