Does anyone know how to recover a password from a 7z file please? I've installed 7zcracker, and I've downloaded 7za and placed it into 7zcracker's directory along with the 2 7z files I wish to extract.

It's found the password of the testfile OK, (it's "1", although it won't extract it,) but keeps telling me the password for the 2 files I want is "1", (it's not!)

I'm a complete newbie at this and it's doing my head in! There's bound to be some Tefal-heads on here, can anybody please shed some light on where I'm going hopelessly wrong?

Have I stumped the whole forum? That's a first!

Its all hit and miss with cracking archive passwords, with loads of different pieces of software out there claiming that they can do it

realistically they can't
