Thanks in advance!

I don't really see or know of a way to remove a password other than to try to brute force it...it's a password for a reason

I agree with this. These "password removal" programs simply brute force the password until they get it. Some use a masked brute force where some of the pasword is known, or a dictionary attack. This is the only way to open the archive as the data inside is encryped.

You may find it works for simple paswords like "1357" where it can brute force up to 4 chatacter fairly quickly, but your success depends on who made the password. If it's from a very knowledgable person who really understands passwords and encryption you might as well give up, but that's for you to judge.

You can't remove a password, you can only brute force it and then repack it again without one. There are quite a few brute force tools around that utilize CUDA and OpenCL to use your GPU to break a password. Tho be warned, they are effective against passwords like "Apple" tho a password like "(6c:Esux;{&:J6["Xd9:#T"b8+!.@:bg" could take years to break.
