Have you ever ended up with a RAR file that was password protected? Maybe you set the password yourself and forgot it! Whatever the case, there are a couple of ways to crack the password on a RAR file if you get lucky.

Basically, there are two standard methods to cracking a password for any program: dictionary attack and brute-force attack. The first generates passwords using word lists from a dictionary and the latter simply searches all possible character combinations.

Obviously, the latter is harder and will take more time. If the password is very complex and doesn’t have any recognizable dictionary word in it, it might simply be impossible. However, it’s always worth a try.

In this article, I’ll list out a couple of software
products that can help crack a RAR file, some of which are free and some that cost money. Depending on how important getting into the file is, it might be worth spending $20 or $30.
