    yeah, i lost my prawn folder that way too. but i remembered that i typed the password with one hand it was easier to crack. still took 2 weeks at work LOLS

    • I once encrypted a partition while drunk. I know the first 18 characters of the key but not the rest 😥

  • Good luck, try brute force it.

    bet you're glad you locked them up to begin with.
    I have minimal security on everything I own just it make it easier for myself.

  • Bruteforce doesn't work… donno who to get the password…

  • Sorry to say but I don't think you can. Try and think hard about what you made the password!!

  • There should be some way out to retrieve the password…

  • fcrackzip

  • Hi wang… did it work for you and usually how long it's taking time to recover the password….

    • look it up on youtube to see how it works, it's pretty fast but it also depends on what you set your password to I imagine it will be harder to crack something like Asg23@%#25235SDfah@%@%@^^Hdfhdfh than say OzBargain42 for example
