Ultimate ZIP Cracker is a program for Windows designed to help you recover password-protected files that you have forgotten the security details for. The operation is quite straightforward. All you need to do is to tell the application as much as you know about the passphrase you are trying to restore, and then let it do the rest.

Flexible tool

The software works with ZIP, Microsoft Word and Excel files. It features a simple graphical user interface that walks you through the process of picking the file and entering all available information about the password. It is worth noting that the utility relies on multiple methods as it attempts to crack the code. If you want to reveal lost passwords that are hidden behind asterisks, you may use PasswordSpy.

Trial limits

Unfortunately, the trial version of the program enables you to test passwords with less than five characters. This type of limitation does not help you to learn about the proper use of this tool nor how well it would perform when faced with longer or more complex passwords.

Summary

Ultimate ZIP Cracker may be a convenient app if you give it enough information about the security phrase you are trying to reveal. However, our tests did not indicate that the utility would perform well when it comes to passwords you have little to none knowledge of.
