Problems with password protected MMD models.

[EDIT: Solved it! Apparently I just needed to find an application that gave an option to enter a password when opening a file and one that decoded mojibake

*sigh*

Alright. First off.

I just got MMD. It's for the MAC and I've gotten a bunch of models already.

Most are really easy to get, except those of Roco (such as the Nordics and Sealand) and those of Famibun (Spain).

This is where I need help from you guys.

Whenever I go to the sites wherein I'm supposed to download these models, I can't find the area wherein I'm supposed to put the password. Am I missing some application that is supposed to be where I put the password or is this some really annoying glitch?

All the other password protected MMD models worked perfectly and the site that they came from even had to area where I could insert/type up the password.

I'd really appreciate some help with this. If someone's actually able to solve my problem, I'd be more than willing to do something for you in return.

I've read all the comments.
I suggest downloading WinRAR if you haven't already. 7-Zip is okay, but I think WinRAR is much more reliable.
_{But IDK if Macs work with WinRAR so if it doesn't I can't really help.}

I have WinRAR but it didn't want to open up the .zip files, sadly. :c

Thanks for the suggestion, though! ^ ^

(the password is not on the site, it's on the file itself. It won't ask for a password until you extract the zip file)

~Redpaperlantern Sep 25, 2012 Student General Artist

Oh alright.

Though uhm. Whenever I click the zip file, it just shows an error message. It never asks for the password.

What do I do? ._.

(Forgive me. I'm an idiot when it comes to computers.)

(it's fine. Founder of the group I'm in graduated from technical school. She taught me how to resolve most MMD problems. Maybe the download cut out?)

~Redpaperlantern Sep 25, 2012 Student General Artist

Actually, I was able to open up the zip file with the password.

Sadly, all the files that were extracted came out empty.

What can I do?

( Thanks for all the help )

(I have no idea what happened. Might I suggest setting your locale to Japanese? [link] )

~Redpaperlantern Sep 25, 2012 Student General Artist

I tried changing my locale (I'm on a Mac, btw. So maybe it's a bit different from changing windows locale?? *shrugs) and nothing worked. It's still the same :/

Oh well.

Thank you so much for your help!

Would you want me to do something for you in return for your help?

(nah, I'm good. In-character may be different, but OOC I don't need anything)

Some of them you have to download w/o a password, then it requires a password to unzip
