Question for the computer geeks...

*4.6 Love* · 09-28-2005, 03:30 PM

I have a zip file that is password protected. Is there any way possible to break the password or retrieve it somehow? I know its a longshot but i thought maybe somebody on here would know...

Cain & Abel is a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems.

You can try it, but whenever I have used it, I have atleast used the pwd once before I forgot it and had to look it up.

And this is why I forgot my damn pwd haha

I only use 2 different passowrds for everything. Makes it easy to remember.

Ive got 6+ passwords depending on the security that the password restricts.

mgt might make it easier
but still makes it easier to crack too
try one pwd with variations it seems to (not counting this week) be the easiest thing for me to remember
haha my guy is an it director and atm, has to remember like bazillions of pwds
i feel bad for him sometimes, esp when i had gotten my domain for pengi.org
and lost my admin pwd haha, im all 'honey whats my pwd'
him: grumble i dont know i need to remember bazillions i gotta remember yours 2
lol good luck w/the pwd recovery
ive lost afew non important ones in the past, but nothing major
i once locked myself out of my own computer
but i got around that one somehow *adjust halo now*
