Description
You locked an old RAR archive years ago, the files inside are your own, and the password is gone from your memory while WinRAR keeps showing the same prompt. Free RAR Password Recovery exists for that: open the archive, start the search, and let the computer try candidates until it finds the one you forgot.
The search is a recovery plan you can arrange yourself: try digits up to six long first, then letters plus digits from one to five characters, in order, stopping the moment it hits. Before it starts it tells you whether the archive is RAR5 or an older format, what encryption it uses and how costly each guess is, so you know roughly what you are up against. When it finds the password it shows it in a green box with a Copy button, and Extract files pulls the contents out. Everything runs on your own CPU, files never leave the machine, and it is free with no time limit. It is meant for archives you own; for harder passwords the vendor sells a paid edition with GPU acceleration, dictionary and smart methods.
Brute-force search:Tries candidates by character set and length range, with letters, digits and symbols to choose from.
Recovery plan:Line up several search steps in a plan that runs in order and stops when the password is found.
Archive details:Shows the archive format and encryption after opening, to gauge how hard the search will be.
Pause and save:Pause the search and save progress to continue another day.
Live progress:Shows guesses per second, how many have been tried and which length it is on.
Extract on success:Copy the password in one click, or extract the files right away.
Runs locally:Everything happens on your CPU, nothing is uploaded, free with no time limit.
