The Password you typed is not correct

Problem

If the archive is strongly encrypted (set by default on PKWARE products), you may get this error when trying to open in Windows Compressed Folders (the Windows default) as it does not support strong encryption. If you are prompted for password and not passphrase, this is an indication that the file is not being opened by PKZIP or SecureZIP
