Hi all,

I have got a few compressed files which are pasword protected.

Does anyone know how i can remove the password protection, so i can extract them, and open them?

Cheers

It is possible to run a password cracker on them which will run through basically every letter/number comnination available but can take a long time. for example on a six character password it can take over a week of constant running..

Ask the person who created them for the password :)

Its one of the folders inside called T-prog+software which is password protected.
