new to this, how can I simply crack a winzip file?

Hi there, tks for the opportunity.

I know nothing about Linux, command line, programming, etc

I need to crack the password of a winzip file I have, which is from 2001 to 2004. I am just curious what is in this file of mine I can t remember the password. It is probably between 4 to 8 digits, numbers and letters.

If I could find the first digit I am sure I can "guess" the rest

I have tried several windows programs, brute force, dic attack, etc, none helped at all


Any good soul out there could give me a "step by step" on how to use hashcat to solve my problem?

Thank you!
