Guest Hawk7 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) There's programs that will search for lost passwords. You would definitelyhave to use brute force to find the password. But for RAR or WinRAR I wouldn't even waste my time. The algorithm is to tough! So if your still interested in trying. Good luck... You'll need it!

Loki Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 As Hawk said, the RAR file encryption is very strong. Your average desktop computer will only brute force about 20 passes a second for a RAR file (compared to about 1.2 million for a zip).Sorry to say this but if you don't know the pass, you're not likely to find it if its beyond 4 or 5 chars. Even thats going to take a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
