The tool is designed for limited password recovery of your ZIP, 7Z, and RAR archives. It does not run embedded programs or bypass strong encryption but only automatically checks combinations based on your text hints and short common variants. If successful, you receive a new unencrypted ZIP archive with the original content.
When this is useful
First situation: you archived work documents in a ZIP and set a simple password '0000', but a month later you cannot recall it. Second situation: you know for sure that the password for a 7Z archive contained the word 'secret', but you do not remember which digits were added at the end, and you want to check combinations of this word with short numeric suffixes.
Step-by-step instructions
- Upload your archive in ZIP, 7Z, or RAR format using the standard file selection interface.
- Enter any known password fragments, such as a word or date, into the hint field.
- Activate the short numeric variant search option if you do not remember the exact digits.
- Start the process and wait for the automatic check to complete.
How to verify the result
If the password is found, the service will offer to download a new ZIP file without encryption containing all the original data. If the check yields no results, make sure you entered the hint correctly and that the password is not a long unique phrase. Also check if the archive itself is corrupted or uses AES encryption, which the service does not remove.
Important limitations
The service does not recover long and complex passwords, nor can it remove AES encryption used in modern archivers. The result is always provided in ZIP format, even if the original file was 7Z or RAR. Upload only your own archives, as attempting to recover a password for someone else's data may violate the law.
