Bash: Find all zip files, unzip them with password

I have a directory with a bunch of zip archives (mixed in with other files) that are encrypted with the same password. I want to find all the zip files and unzip them in the directory that the zip file is located in.

So far I have:

find -type f -name "*.zip" -exec sh -c 'unzip -pPASSWORD -d `dirname {}` {}' ';'

But I get the error

error:  must specify directory to which to extract with -d option

All help appreciated. Thank you

Try with this, also see my comment in the scripts how will it work:-

find -type f -name "*.zip" > zipfiles.txt

while read zipfilePath
do
   directorypath=${zipfilePath%/*}
   #get the path and separate the zipfile name
   zipfile=${zipfilePath##*/}
   #get the zipfile name from path
   cd $directorypath
   unzip -pPASSWORD $zipfile
done < zipfiles.txt
rm -rf zipfiles.txt
