Yes, Bruteforce is probably the best option. I had created a zip file with a six digit numeric passcode (and forgot in a week). Ended up writing a brute force shell script in windows that used the 7zip CLI to find the password.

If you know (or atleast have a clue) on how the password is structured, you can probably bruteforce it with a given input (dictionary list)

Try these tools:

I ever used similar tools and but they seems to be capable of cracking short/simple password. If your password is long, you may can't wait for it to finish cracking.
