Try installing 7z sudo apt-get install p7zip-full and then extract the file with it 7z x 00000018.zip

+1 for this, thanks for the command some reason p7zip -d doesn't like my .zip file. after using 7z x [file], it prompted me to enter the password required and extracted the file nicely. – esefarm Jul 06 '16 at 12:29

+1 i used `7z x datafile.zip -aoa -p$3CR37` with success. Argument `-p******` is the password, `-aoa` allows extraction over any existing local files. – roblogic Nov 04 '16 at 03:45
7z is it, what I needed to unzip my password protected .zip...! – benzkji Oct 16 '20 at 12:09
