i had a full version of fruityloops from my friend. i made a lot of music with it. when i went to visit the fruityloops website, an error popped saying that i wasn't registered, but i was already registered. now all of my files dissapeared and when i went into the fruityloops folder, all i see is a Compressed Folder thats password protected. all of my music i made is in there and i want it back but its password protected. made about 50 music tracks. so i need a prog to try to find the password for it.thanx

search for a brute force zip cracker
Unfortunately I have not been able to find a free one and demo versions only allow you to crack passwords of 5 characters or less:

Gamefreakboy, trust me on this... it is impossible to retrieve a password
You must not underestimate the HUGE number op possible combinations. Depending on the number of characters the number of combinations increases exponentially.
There are programs like Advanced Password Recovery, but the only thing they do is try out numerous logical combinations. They are not retrieving, they are guessing for a password.
Also you should know a password is a very complex thing. Try this....
Imagine a password of 6 characters:> If these 6 characters are letters only, there are 26 possible letters available for each character, and the number of possible combinations increases *26 with every additonal character.
That means a 6 character password has 26*26*26*26*26*26=308.915.776 possible combinations. If you also use capitals(that means you now have 52 possible letters per character), the number goes up to over 19 billion possible combinations. You can imagine what happens when you also add numbers or things like @,#.$....
Of course a computer can try these combinations quite fast, but it needs to TRY them too. With these numbers of combinations, this will take weeks, maybe months.
Even better.... even for companies it is crazy to use over 13 charcters, because the number of possibilities runs up that fast, one will not even bother to try and find the password.
Better try and remember the password, recovery will eighter never work or take months....
