Hi@Tejaskumar_Darji - Have you considered using 7z to extract pass protected zip files ? it's fairly easy with 7z command lines. 

We do have a DX asset (https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/dx/entry/113833/solution/atcs---compression-and-extraction) but I think it is only covering basic compression and extraction and its just the customisation in the command lines to add switches and to provide password for extracting, should be good to go after then. 

I have used 7z for recursive extraction from a nested zipped files folder.

You can additionally refer the 7z doc here :

Thanks for your response.

Yes, the existing utilities only work with ZIP which is not password-protected.

We really need to have a free utility on DX to achieve this feature without spending efforts on code stage, CMD, and PowerShell alternatives.

Let me check the CMD commands for 7zip but my best guess is that the owner would not agree to use CMD scripts and Powershell to achieve this task due to infra-security and access concerns.
