I'm trying to open a Word document that is password-protected, and it's stored inside an unprotected zip file. Unfortunately, I don't remember the password for the Word file, and I've explored tools like John the Ripper and office2john. However, it seems that office2john can't access the Word file while it's still in the zip. Does anyone know how to retrieve the hash or access the file without the password?

Expand-Archive should unzip your file without a hitch. Just remember, while you can see the files in a password-protected zip, you won't be able to access them without the password. Make sure you're checking the right file status.
Back in the day, extracting passwords from older Word document formats was straightforward. The newer formats are trickier, though. This isn't really a PowerShell issue, so you might want to look for help in dedicated tech support forums.
If the zip isn’t password-protected, you should be able to extract it without any issues. Have you tried using a standard extraction tool or command like Expand-Archive? It should work fine if the zip is truly unprotected.
