How Likely Is It to Recover a Lost Password?
Initially, you can perform a free preliminary check for weak passwords. This quick scan typically completes within one to two minutes and successfully retrieves the password in approximately 22% of cases.
If the free check doesn’t find your password, we offer a more advanced paid option. It includes a search through our 20+ billion password database, combined with extended and hybrid recovery techniques tailored to your archive. This process can take up to 24 hours and offers a much higher success rate — around 61%.

| Zip Password Recovery (*.zip) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recovery Type | Success rate | Estimated Time | Price | ||
| Weak Password Recovery | ≈ 22% | Within a few minutes | Free | Start | |
| Strong Password Recovery | ≈ 61% | Up to 12 hours | $29.00 * | Start | |
| Brute Force ** | 100% *** | Time depends on mask complexity | On Request | Custom Request | |
* You only pay after the password is successfully recovered.
** We search all possible password combinations based on the specified mask, which must include the password’s structure — like maximum length and character set — because without it, brute-forcing a 10-character password blindly would take thousands of years (over 67 quintillion combinations); you can estimate this using our Brute Force calculator.
*** A 100% success rate is guaranteed only if the mask you provide is accurate. If the mask parameters — including character set and maximum length — are incorrect, recovery will fail. Please use mask-based recovery only if you're confident about the exact structure of the password.

How to Unlock a Password-Protected Zip File?
If you already know the Zip archive’s password, removing the password protection itself is not directly possible using common tools like WinZip. However, you can easily bypass this limitation by extracting the files from the encrypted Zip archive into a folder. Once extracted, simply re-compress these files into a new Zip archive without applying a password.
In cases where the password is unknown, the best solution is to use our password recovery service. Simply upload your file, and we’ll handle the rest, guiding you through each step until the password is recovered.
