Worked in seconds - retrieved my forgotten passwords for some of my zips in a matter of seconds. Highly recommended for simple passwords. I cannot attest to its speed with complex passwords, but for my needs it was superb.

The program will work as advertised, but with an exception: It does NOT work with AES-encrypted ZIP archives. It does work with ZIP 2.0-compatible encryption, provided that the person who encrypted the archive was dumb enough to use a password which (a) is a meaningful word in any language, (b) is 7 characters and shorter, (c) does not contain any special characters. A password as simple as "my7good3ness" will not be retrieved either by the dictionary method (because the word AS TYPED is in no dictionary) or by the Brute Force method because id would take years.
