How to recover lost zip file password?
I have a folder with very important files on my computer and I zipped it with a password for security reasons. Unfortunately, I'm not able to recover the password. Usually, I always use the same kind of passwords but I have done dozens of tries and I can't remember what the password is. I usually use passwords of 10 to 20 letters with possible upper case letters and numbers which means it's basically impossible to crack it by pure brute force. Since I've tried all the patterns I usually use, I think I may have used a different password from usual so it's not possible to crack it using patterns with brute force.
Basically I don't think there exist IA techniques able to retrieve the password since it can be very long and I have no information about it. So my question is : is there a way for me to retrieve the password of my file ? Since I created it with my user session on Windows, maybe it's possible to deactivate the password for the same user ? I'm not very good at computer science but I hope there is a way to retrieve it because the information in that file are really important.
