How do I open a password protected zip file?

Community Answer

If you forgot the password, this will be very difficult. You can download a zip password cracking program and try to decrypt the password, but it will take days or even months to work.

Try the command 'unzip' or if you have a GUI application you prefer, try '7-zip' or the Windows built in Zip manager.

The method will download the file on the storage of the device. if you have no storage, you can go to the Downloads folder of the device. But it won't work if you are downloading directly from the webpage. You should have the permission to download from the server.
