3 years ago i encrypted a important file with "cryptext" software which turned my file to extension ( .$#!) and mistakenly i again encrypted it with winzip encryption . luckly i remember the winzip pwd but i forgot the cryptext password i am trying since 2 years to decrypt it will tools and softwares but i am unable to decrypt it . i need urgent help as the file is very important for me . "Cryptext is a public domain Windows shell extension that performs strong file..."

The only thing that can be done is Cracking (Trial and error) You can use brute-forcing , Dictionary Attacks Softwares
I tried Brother . but none of the softwares recognise the extension so i am unable to crack it nor add into software for cracking . i tried brute , rar password recovery and many more . is there any way to remove the extension so that it turns back to zip format ??? i tried rename , file extension changer but no good time .
the orginal file is in gbs , i am attaching a similar same encrypted file please help me crack it . i have attached 2 files please extract both to get the encrypted file and the software used . the encypted files are very important for me . it contains my personal files like past memories . i really appreciate if u can help me out . ** one of my friend said the encryption can be cracked if u execute on one pc and then run on the another pc with another pwd it will work . i tried but no luck . my mind says the pwd could be cracked or the extension could be removed but i am not that techie to do that. ** remove oo before http in the link to get the file.
Dude cracking this file is not that easy... As it is not a zip file... The encryption has converted the file to a garbage file(no format,no headers) The only way to crack this is to reverse engineer the algorithm of the encryption software and let it rip... Thats the way possible.. And i am trying it.. But dont expect fast results..
Downloaded files.zip.zip. Files are corrupt and can't be unzipped. Sorry man. Looks like you lost this data. I'll bet you found a way to remember passwords by now.
I tried man there is no way you can decrypt it manually. That means you have to remember the password
