I am dumber than I thought... A few months ago I zipped up a bunch of my contacts and tax info... And for saftey I password protected it, but I forgot my password... Is there anyway to get my stuff or am I screwed?

I've had to resort to this for old Office documents before, frighteningly easy

Hey that's not too bad.
I just used it to get into my MSN chat logs. The password was "Ozone".

I made a little brute force zip cracker a few months back for a competition for one of the hacking sites, it isn't all that hard.

Well, I must have used a better password than I though, because now I can't any program I have found to open an old script I had protected... Oh well... =\
