How to Unlock ZIP without Password

Just take it easy! Things are not as bad as you thought. Becuase you can retrieve the forgotten/lost password from a locked ZIP archive without effort at least by using the specialized tool ZIP Password Refixer. Then you can unlock the ZIP with the password that's recovered.
