Zip file with password, sent with a different extension

I received a zip file via email that was password protected. However, my email system was blocking the zip file type, so the sender changed the extension to something else. I saved the file and renamed it to a .zip. However, it does not ask for a password to unzip it, and the unzipping fails.

Is there any way that this will work?

Make sure that there isn't a double file extension on it (i.e. "file.jpg.zip").
