I password protected a ZIP file a long time ago and can’t remember the password. Is there a way I can get it back, or remove the password?

    Depends. Some older versions of zip encryption are vulnerable to a known plaintext attack. That is, if you know part of the content of one of the original files, you can recover the password. This utility might be helpful. bkcrack
