Zip Password Tool

Zip Password Tool is a handy password recovery tool that can help you get back forgotten passwords used to access the content of any ZIP archive.

This isn’t quite a new concept and the market already hosts a bunch of similar apps, so Zip Password Tool really needs something special to impress its users.

One of the best things about the program is the interface that makes everything quite easy to use, regardless if we’re talking about beginners or those with a bit more experience. The main window groups all options, so it’s all a very straightforward process.

There are two password recovery modes at your disposal, brute force and dictionary, both of them coming with their very own settings.

The difference is pretty simple: the brute force attack uses every possible combination with the symbols and characters you specify, while the dictionary mode tries only the passwords included in a text file.

That’s why the brute force mode could take a bit more time, but you also need to define the character set, with available options including digits, small latins, special symbols and spaces. You can configure the password length and thus help the app recover the password a faster.

Zip Password Tool isn’t a resource hog, but depending on the password complexity, the whole process can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours.

Overall however, it deserves a try, but there are still things to be improved. A wizard to help users set up the recovery process would definitely help a lot, while a larger dictionary file would improve the overall efficiency of the dictionary mode.
