    As far as I know, the file is encrypted using the password, so you can't really do this without knowing it.

    My question is, if you know the password, why do you want to do this?

    I don't think he wants to know how to get the password... but how to unzip a zip file and how to pass it the password...

    Search google for Unzip DLL.... If you don't need to actually unzip through code then look at 7z it is a dos app you can trigger in VB and pass it arguments to unzip files.
