Is there any way i can extract contents from a .zip folder that is password protected using command line.

Solution

You can use 7zip

7z x Yourzipfilfe.zip -pYourPassword

Do you know the password? are you looking to "crack" the password to access the content or do you wish to to script the extraction.

I want to use the default one that is already there in the OS. I am using 2016 datacenter

PowerShell doesn't support it, I'm unaware of how to call that function on the cmd to even extract a non protected zip, so you will probably be out of luck. For more examples have a look here. It also has at least one hint about the built-in functionality, though it's far from being easy to use (in comparison).
