Are you asking for some kind of "password cracking program" for a Zip file? There are several previous post on the subject of how to unlock a password protected Zip file when the password has been forgotten. This is not a trivial problem. The purpose of the password encryption is to prevent unauthorized persons access to whatever is in the Zip file. If it were a simple matter to unlock the Zip file without the password, then why would anyone lock the file with a password in the first place?

Yeah, I've had that problem too. I've tried AZPR and ZIPPASSR but I think they're windows programs. They worked OK but, as free, shareare versions they had their limitations. They were OK as long as the password was short and didn't contain non alphanumberic characters.
You might try googling "zip password recovery" dos and see what turns up.
