locked? corrupt?

Hey all,

I have a very simple problem. A while back, probably 6-8 months ago, i had a serious problem and had to do a system recovery(I own an HP with recovery partition). I created a .zip file back on 9/22/07, at least thats when the modified date is listed. My problem is, I locked the .zip with a password. My problem is when i did that system recovery, everything was completely reinstalled and now I am still administrator, but for some reason (this is the only theory i could come up with) the computer recognizes me a different user, so therefore it won't let me access the .zip. Normally, i would just look up a zip cracker, but this problem is unique. I have used several different methods. It won't open with a zip cracker and it acts like it is corrupted.I can't use a .zip recovery tool either. What shall I Do? I think i put some pictures of my girlfreind and I on a trip to the OBX and I locked it so it couldn't be deleted on accident. I can't bring myself to delete it, and i can't open it. :confused

 

Could be as simple as taking ownership?
