Video tutorial showing how to recover a lost archive password with ezyZip. This example uses a ZIP file, but the same steps apply to 7z files.

How do I recover a forgotten 7Z password?

  1. Select File To select the 7Z file, you have two options:
    Click "Select 7Z file to crack" to open the file chooser
  2. Choose Wordlist (Optional)
    (Optional) Turn on "Use my own wordlist" and choose a plain text wordlist file (.txt, .lst or .dic). Otherwise the built in wordlist is used.
  3. Start Recovery
    Click "Start password recovery". ezyZip tries each password from the wordlist in your browser. This can take a while, and it can only find a password that appears in the wordlist.
    Start Recovery
  4. Copy Password
    When a match is found, the recovered password is shown on screen. Click "Copy password" to copy it.

Frequently asked questions

ezyZip uses a wordlist (dictionary) attack. It reads the encrypted 7Z file and tries each candidate password from a wordlist until one unlocks the file. Everything runs locally in your browser, so no files are uploaded. Because it only tests words that are in the wordlist, it works best for common or guessable passwords.
A wordlist attack can only find a password that appears in the wordlist. If the password was not found, it was not in the list. You can try again with your own, larger wordlist of likely passwords. Long, random passwords are unlikely to be recovered.
Yes. Password recovery runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your file and your wordlist are never uploaded to a server, so your data stays on your device.
