Winzip file on old harddrive has lost password

I have a old Gateway2000 I hadn't used for some time and now I was
cleaning the files out and I found this old folder I zipped up a few
years ago but I put a password on it, you guess it. I don't remember it.
I know it's not important but this is killing me. I once saw a program
that gave the first couple of letters of archived/password winzip to
entice you to purchase it but I'm sure if I see it start I will remember
it. Anyone know of such a d/l?

I believe it is called "Zip Key."

Problem is that only works on Winzip 7 and below. I have Winzip 9.0.
Anybody else have any ideas?

Search for an older copy of Winzip.

Win Zip9 uses a new 256-Bit AES encryption security code not handled by
the older zip 7 and under that only used the 128 AES encryption.

How will an older version of winzip help when the Winzip 9.0 was the
version that was used?

You said that it was an old zip file. Are you being purposefully obtuse?
