How to access a password protected WinZip or WinRar

It's real easy actually :) So never fear if you've somehow forgotten the password/s to your zip files :)
  1. Go and download Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) software 
  2. Install it and open it.
  3. Choose 'Installer for zip files' (on your left)
  4. Drag in/open your password protected zip file and let it do its magic ;) It might take awhile depending on your zip file size, so wait till it's finished
  5. Click 'Generate' at the bottom right.
  6. You'll get a new .exe file on your desktop (or if you've changed the save location, find that .exe file in your new save location), double click that.
  7. It should pop out a folder on the same location as your .exe file
  8. The folder should contain the files that are in that password protected zip file :) 
  9. Enjoy!
Credits to my dad for finding this out on youtube. :P
