How do I unzip passwordprotected mp3's ?
 

Someone passwordprotected a whole album, but not the folder. I have no idea what password/passwords he/she might have used.

Is there anyway that I can recover the passwords ? Some program that I can download

I have tried Picozip recovery tool but it says the folder isn't passwordprotected, and gives an error when trying in the songs

It's a real drag because I have been looking for this album for a while and finally I found it.

I can play them with Nero, but I can't unzip them or add them to any library because they are in a zipfolder

HEEELP :confused:

I'm sure you have scanned for virus etc.


This is something I THINK I read.. If you can burn to Audio disc with nero, then I believe you can rip back to mp3. Just a thought.

I wish it was that easy
 

I doesn't work, but it's the thought that counts right. ;) I didn't think of trying that untill I read your reply Hobo.

Nero somehow can play them from within the folder but I can't add the folder or the songs when burning an audioCD

I can move the folder around as I wish but can't move any of the songs out of the folder+ I tried adding the entire folder to the burnlist. Didn't work either.

I tried going to the site that was in the filename. Of course it was in spanish, so I had to guess more than read what it said. I did find a email-address there and have tried sending an e-mail asking to please send me the password for the songs. Just hope he understands english. I just wonder if he will give out the password to just anyone (fingers crossed):)

Until then I was counting on that someone here might know of some great passwordcracker, or some way to get around it :)

I feel so stupid now :D
 

I got a reply to my e-mail saying that the files weren't protected and could be unzipped using WINZIP or WINRAR.

I had only tried extracting with the built in extracting tool in XP which WRONGFULLY told me that the files were protected. :mad:

Turns out that Nero can play compressed files but not burn then to audioCD

When I used WINRAR the files extracted without any problems.

:o

Cool ... I'm just curious, did the album come off Limewire and was it labelled as a Zip file?

It came of another site. But it's on Limewire now I think ;)
