I downloaded a song, Its in a zipped file, that says you need a password to extract the file. The site I downloaded the song from never gave the password, So I can't extract it. Is there some type of program that could extract the song, bypassing the password?

Not really...

There are bruteforce apps that try to guess it, but my last experience with that took about 6 weeks with two computers.

Why 2 computers, and why 6 weeks?

It has to guess every possible password.

Me and my friend devised two parameters, so that we could split it between our machines.

Mine worked on passes less than seven characters long, his worked on passes longer than seven characters.

It did eventually find it, and it was in my friends set, which means it would have literally taken just over 12 weeks for one computer to work on it by its self.
