AFAIK, the only way round this is to do a brute force method of trying all 
the possible passwords.  Bad news, passwords seem to be case sensitive too!  
I reckon, if it's a smallish archive and the password's less than about 10 
characters, it'll take only...  ooh...  200000 years to crack (I did a rough 
calculation).  UNP is useless too afaik, because that does exe's...  If your 
password in in the dictionary, you could DL a 300000 word dictionary or 
whatever and use that on a brute force cracker - I know of only one, 
available from a couple of dodgy BBS's...  I *think* I might have a copy from 
when I had a similar problem - if so, try FREQing ARJCRACK.ARJ (it's not 
encrypted thank god) from me at 2:250/184
Hope you fix things,
Marek
