How to set 'fixed password' in WinRAR? Share 2 methods!

How to avoid manually setting a password every time you compress a file? When using WinRAR to compress files, you often need to set an "open password" to protect the security of the compressed package. However, if you need to encrypt archives frequently, or if you need to handle a large number of encrypted files, setting the password manually can become tedious. In this article, PHP editor Baicao will show you a method to fix the password and avoid setting it manually every time you compress a file. This will greatly improve your efficiency and ensure that your archives are always password protected. Continue reading below for detailed steps.

Today, the editor will share two methods of setting a "fixed password" in WinRAR, allowing you to improve encryption efficiency when multiple encryptions are required.

Method 1: Automatic Encryption

Set "Automatic Encryption" through WinRAR, so that every time you compress a file, a password will be automatically set, and no matter which format is compressed, it will be encrypted.

Setup steps:

1. Open the WinRAR decompression software and click "Settings" under the "Options" menu;

2. After the [Settings] page appears, click "Create Default Configuration" under the "Compression" directory;

3. Click "Set Password" on the [Default Configuration] page, then enter the password you want to set in the blank field on the [Set Password] page, and click "OK";

4. After clicking "OK", continue to click "OK" on the page that appears later. When the [Save password to configuration file] page appears, click "Save Anyway", and then click "OK" on the next page.

After completing the above settings, WinRAR's "Automatic Encryption" is set up. Subsequently, as long as the file is compressed, the password will be included, and there is no need to go through the process of setting a password.

Method 2: Organize passwords

If you don’t want all compressed packages to have the same password, you cannot use the “automatic encryption” method above, but we can use WinRAR’s “organize passwords” function to set multiple passwords at the same time Fixed password, you only need to directly select the password when encrypting, no need to enter it manually.

Setup steps:

1. Follow the steps of method 1, select the menu in sequence: "Options" → "Settings" → "Compression" → "Create Default Configuration" → "Set Password", and then click "Organize Passwords" at the bottom of the [Enter Password] page ” option;

2. Click "Add" on the [Organize Passwords] page, and you can enter the password you want to set. You can enter multiple passwords if you add multiple times. After adding, click "OK", and then click "OK" on all pages. OK" to complete the setting.

3. After completing the "Organize Password" setting, you can directly select the password you want to set from the list below as long as you set the encrypted compressed package through WinRAR.

p.s. Method 2 still requires the encryption process, but method 1 does not.

It should be noted that when we set a "fixed password", we still need to remember or save the password well, in case one accidentally forgets the password and the compressed package cannot be opened.

If you set a password according to method two, you can still use the password set in the list to retrieve the original password if you can't remember it. However, if you set automatic encryption according to method one, if you forget the password, you cannot retrieve it in WinRAR, nor can you directly revoke it.

In this case, we often need to use other tools to help retrieve the password.

Take the Pepsi Niu compressed file password recovery tool as an example. It has RAR and ZIP versions. You can choose the corresponding tool according to the compressed package format of the forgotten password to recover the password.
