Recently, the file named tominecon.7z, which was a password encrypted archive on the official Minecraft Assets website between 2011 and 2012, has regained a lot of attention again, mainly thanks to 2 newly successful YouTube videos covering the mystery.

If you wanna get up to speed, I suggest watching this video on the topic, which also just happens to be one of the two that sparked a new interest: (Can't post links, go search up "The Minecraft Code No One Has Solved" by RetroGamingNow on Youtube)

In some old archived threads that were dug up from Hack Forums and Minecraft Forum, people talked about attempting to crack the password, and even at one point, getting into the archive and looking at what was inside. All the way back in 2012.
Links:
(Again, sorry I can't post links, but links to these threads are pinned in RetroGamingNow's Discord server)

What was inside the archive was different depending on the person speaking, and ultimately, no definitive proof or passwords were revealed. Leading people to question the legitimacy of the claims and whether the password was ever cracked in the first place, or if everything was just based on rumors.

An authentic copy of the original file can be downloaded from the MEGA link here: (Again, really sorry, but I don't have perms to post links yet. But the download link is, once again, available in the RetroGamingNow Discord server. You might also be able to find it by searching "Original tominecon7z" in the MinecraftUnlimited subreddit, since the link on Discord just links to that post)

I wanted to bring this up because I think definitively finding out what's inside once and for all, regardless of contents, will be hella dope.

Not familiar with this at all, but sounds interesting enough. Not someone that's even into Minecraft anymore, but I've been known to get sucked into mystery, lore, etc type shit with whatever gaming topic. Might check this out. Thanks for the share.

The password is boxpig41

The password is boxpig41

If that's actually the password than I'm quite disappointed with it.

So turns out boxpig41 really is the password and I'm quite disappointed too.

Sigh. They could have done so much better and especially with a password they weren't trying to be all crazy with haha.
