Why are you trying to access the backup by extracting the files
rather than using Legacy File > Restore Family File?
Can you access the backup by using this Restore backup option which
is the normal way to use a Legacy backup?
I suspect it is something to do with the program on your computer
that is associated with zips that is creating the problem.

The files were created when closing Legacy and a dialogue asks if you
want to backup family file (I don't have any multimedia files). In the
past it created a zipped folder containing the main family file and 3
others (focus groups etc). I have been able to right click on these
folders and select Extract All to gain access to all of the files. Now
I get the message that each file is password protected and a request
for a password. I have been able to move these files between PCs
without issue in the past .
