Hi, First you need to unzip the file. Then open the file with the password which is your PAN number and date of birth all in lower case with no special charater in between. If PAN is AAAA3424A and date of birth is 28/12/1981 then password is aaaa3424a28121981. If this dosent work then I would advise you to check the PAN number and date of bith you are entering from the PAN card you are having.
