Unzip it, then re zip it without a password.
About the best you'd be able to do use a CLI tool (7zip is free) to extract and then add them to the same archive (in a different folder) without the password.
Once you set a password the whole archive uses that password for everything so it's not just some header you have to remove.
See, for instance, the answers here.

Might be best off looking for Powershell examples as what you really want is a pipe which takes the output of one command and sends it to the next command (in a 'nix kind of way) and normal Windows CLI isn't that great at that I think whereas Powershell is good at those.

Windows has built in compression tools that can be accessed from the command line. No need to install anything.
It does not support "AES-256" passwords only "ZipCrypto" and thus, my problems.
