No, we cannot give you "The Commands".
What exactly do you need help with?
please elaborate.
Why try to break the password at all? Just run your Linux OS in single-user mode or your Windows OS in recovery and reset it.
the files i am trying to break are two very big projects i am working on that i need to break the zips so i can get back in i forgot to write down the password like i normally do.

I tryed fcrackzip with -b -c aA -v -u then my zip files name and . zip.
but it is not breaking the password its giving me a random line of letters that did not work so i think something went wrong.
so i am trying to see if i can do something like this
The dictionary attack, or straight mode, is a very simple attack mode. It is also known as a Wordlist attack.
but i now there is a way to use a list of words to help crack my zips but i have no idea the command or the right name of the attack to even google it.
can someone please help me and tell me what program many people have told me john the ripper is the best program so can someone please give me the commands that i can put in please.

Then you will know whether it's worth trying a dictionary attack or not. Anything designed to brute-force a .zip file will work -- the OS and the authors of the program are irrelevant as you're just trying every single string until it works.
Or you could just restore from backup.
