    hey all,

    i know most of you wont believe me that its mine but i promise it is.

    I created a zip file about 3 years ago and passworded it. I now cant
    figure out the password. I have tried everything i can think of, all
    my old passwords etc.. but with no luck!

    I have tried dictionary and brute force attacks but the password is
    over 7 characters long. All the programs i have tried state that to
    check 8+ passwords will take several thousand years and im a bit too
    impatient for that!!! :o)

    Is there ANY other way of bypassing it? I'm beginning to believe that
    its now impossible to crack it.
    As i said before i assure you the files are mine, i just wish id stuck
    them on a cd and hid that instead :o(

    thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

    Matt
