When I do a backup, we transfer It to another server and today I wanted to unzip to check the contents and It asks me for a password.

I checked the config files, documentation, but I cannot seem to find where to find It or how to set It

Package: spatie/laravel-backup

My Answer:
The spatie/laravel-backup package does not have a default password set for backups. If you are being prompted for a password when trying to unzip the backup file, it is likely that the file itself has been encrypted or password protected separately from the package.

To overwrite or remove the password protection on the backup file, you will need to decrypt or remove the password from the file using the appropriate tools or methods. This may involve using a password cracking tool, contacting the person or system that encrypted the file, or using any other method that may be applicable to the specific encryption used on the file.

It is important to note that decrypting or removing password protection from a file without authorization may be illegal and unethical, so make sure you have the necessary permissions and rights to do so before proceeding.
