I forget my own albums wich were compressed with 7z, I am on now window 10, downloded hashcat bineries . I need a guid , how to start and execute, kindy consider me a novice , never be in cracking before
Find a tool to extract the hash from the 7z-file. Save it to a txt file.
Try to crack it with Hashcat with -m 11600.
Read https://hashcat.net/wiki/ and lookup some Youtube-videos to improve your mastery. Good luck!
May I also suggest making a practice archive first with a known password, so you can see if your methodology is sound before proceeding with the real deal....
Still trying to understand the method and steps, files compressed by myself, so if any password apear it may help to recall my memoray
slight progress , extract the hashes, now trying to find pass, but fail with hascat and get this

C:\hashcat-7.1.2>hashcat -m 11600 myhash
hashcat (v7.1.2) starting

This hash-mode is known to emit multiple valid candidates for the same hash.
Use --keep-guessing to continue attack after finding the first crack.

clGetDeviceInfo(): CL_INVALID_VALUE
