gm, the only possible explanation is your password is incorrect because AxCrypt 1 cannot suddenly change passwords. The ZIP file makes no difference to the .AXX file.

Open Notepad, type down all possibilities of your password and then copy and paste them into AxCrypt to attempt to decrypt your file.

Also make sure CAPS LOCK is turned off.

If you’ve forgotten your password it’ll be impossible to decrypt your file unless you know 99% of the characters in your password. If you do then you could attempt to brute force it – that means try every single possibility; this could take an exceptionally long time!

That’s why it’s so important not to forget your password when using encryption.
