password zip file

[moey2k2001]

hi guys

I have a zip file which I password protected a few years ago.
I dont remember the password anymore.
Tried a lot of stuff and many words that I would usually use but I guess I must of really kicked it... 😛

How can I crack this folder? I'm not much of a programmer 😕 but a mac user for over 10 years... so please tell me in detail if its possible. Oh and I dont mind how long it would take... as long as it wont take 1 month... (would leave the mac on... for next days...)

thnx😀

How large is the zip file? I have the tools to crack it on my mac but it takes a little bit of setup and terminal, if you aren't comfortable with that I could try to crack it for you and then give it back..

I promise I won't look inside 😛

If you would like to try yourself. Follow these instructions: http://www.geekology.co.za/blog/2009/07/finding-lost-zip-passwords-with-fcrackzip/

hey the file is about one gig... how long would it usually take? i dont recall by the way how long or how many digits and wether it is a combo of letters and numbers, caps lock etc

i do remember at some point that i "used" various passwords starting with 3-20 characters...

well nethertheless i wouldnt mind passing the folder...
but i aint sure whats inside of it myself since there 3-4 folders which are password protected and i dont know which of em has the stuff... would love to pass it but cant pass this on cuz there's probably bank details etc etc... not too comfortabe with that😎

tried installing mac port... i got this message

Is Xcode installed?

If not, you can also install gcc from here: http://hpc.sourceforge.net/

Xcode is only 2-3 gigs unless you include the iOS stuff (which makes it 10GB!)
