    finding the password for a passworded zip file

    hi,

    a long, long time ago i decided to zip all of my school work up and password it so that prying eyes couldn't get to it, but being at uni i didn't think i would need any of the files that were in that zip, until the other day when i wanted a spreadsheet out of their, and i can't remember the password whatsoever, so i was wondering whether there is way to either crack the zip file and retrieve the password, or crack the zip file in some way that it didn't need the password and i could get the file that i want ??


    anyone any ideas ???

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
