Archive details and recovery options
Try a list of likely passwords. Best when you have a good idea of what the password might be. Common variations are tried automatically.
Use a mask when you remember the password's shape. Placeholders: ?d digit, ?l lowercase, ?u uppercase, ?s symbol, ?a any. Other characters are literal.
Try every combination from a character set. Feasible only for short passwords, especially with AES archives. Narrow the set and length as much as you can.
Please confirm you're authorized to open this archive to continue.
