How to delete the password of ZIP archive? 3 methods are recommended!

How to remove passwords from ZIP files? PHP editor Xigua learned that ZIP files are a common compression format, and many people set passwords for ZIP files to protect their contents. However, if password protection is no longer needed, how to delete the original password? This article will introduce in detail how to delete the password of a ZIP file, helping you to easily remove password protection so that the file can be opened freely.

Some decompression software does not have the "Delete Secret" function. We can only decompress the ZIP package with a password and then compress it into a compressed package without a password. If you want to delete the secret directly, you might as well try the following 3 methods. Method 1:

We can use decompression software with the "remove password" function, such as Haozhi.

Open the ZIP archive through the software, click the [Password] option on the menu tab, when the dialog box pops up, select [Clear existing password], and then click [OK].

After the dialog box pops up again, enter the originally set secret in the blank column, and then click [OK]. The password of the ZIP compressed package will be deleted.

Method 2:

If there is no decompression software, we can use Windows Explorer to remove the password.

First, select the ZIP archive, right-click the mouse, and select [Windows Explorer] in the [Open with] list.

After opening the resource manager, you can see the files or folders in the compressed package, then right-click the mouse in the blank space and select [Delete Password] in the list.

Then the [Password Required] dialog box will pop up, enter the originally set password in the blank field, and then click [OK].

After completing the above operation, the password of the compressed package file will be deleted and saved as a new file in the resource manager. That is, all files will become double files, one with password and one without password.

Method 3:

The above is how to delete the password if you remember it but no longer need password protection. Sometimes we accidentally forget the password. In this case, if we want to delete the password, we can use "Method 3".

But in fact, when we forget the password, we cannot delete it directly, but we can use tools to retrieve the originally set password.

For example, Pepsi Niu ZIP Password Recovery Tool can retrieve the "open password" of the ZIP compressed package.

The tool provides 4 retrieval methods. You only need to import the ZIP compressed package into the tool, then select the appropriate method and follow the prompts.

After the operation is completed, wait for the password to be retrieved.
