Decrypting a Password Protected Zipped File using DotNetZip C#

I m trying to extract a zipped file through DotNetZip. The file is encrypted with a password and needs to be either reset or removed. I used ExtractAll method but received exception:

BadPasswordException was unhandled, the password didnot match.

My code is below: 

using (Ionic.Zip.ZipFile zip = Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Read(source_file))
{
    zip.Password = "1234";
    zip.ExtractAll(dest_path, Ionic.Zip.ExtractExistingFileAction.OverwriteSilently);
}

Any help will be appreciated.

According to the documentation use

using (ZipFile zip = ZipFile.Read(ExistingZipFile))
{
    ZipEntry e = zip["TaxInformation-2008.xls"];
    e.ExtractWithPassword(BaseDirectory, Password);
}
