Hello

What does a person do when they lose the password for a 7zip file?

I tried a few of those free online ones and some do not work even with the test file. They check numbers only and no characters.

Is there a free 7 zip password cracker or remover?

In all likelihood you're screwed. If you have a halfway decent password, it will take a VERY long time to break. 7-zip's encryption is much better than the one used by standard zip.

Looks like the forum creates two postings whenever you edit one.

You must use the "edit"-link (which knows your post-id then). Using "back" of your browser leads to the duplicates as the forum stores a new entry for every edit - but the old edit-post-form still contains the old id of your previous post "incarnation". This is also why your edits always seem to edit the original instead of your "duplicate".

I definitely did click edit, always do -- I would never expect the back button to work properly on a dynamic website...

Although I guess it's possible my browser cache (Chrome) spazzed out somehow, I've had many dozens of instances open simultaneously while working on a bunch of webpage stuff.

As an aside: While I'm writing this, it says on the forum page itself that this thread contained 5 posts, while the actual open thread itself shows 7.

There is another way to do that I think, I'll test it.
Test 1
Test 2
Hmm no it seems fine.
I just thought if you click edit and are then returned to the thread, when you click edit again then it creates a new post, but it didn't.

Thanks for the link to the thread.

I'm switching to 7zio permanently
