How to remove password from RAR archive?

php editor Baicao will share with you today how to unlock the password for RAR compressed files. When the RAR file password is forgotten or lost, you can use a special decryption tool to crack the password, or use an online decryption service to decompress it. This article will introduce a simple and easy-to-understand method of decompressing password-protected RAR files to help you quickly solve the problem of forgetting the password of RAR files.

First of all, we need to look at what kind of situation needs to be resolved:

If you no longer need to keep the RAR file confidential and do not want to enter a password every time you decompress the file, you can use WinRAR to decompress the file and then recompress it into a password-less compressed file.

You need to enter the originally set password when decompressing.

If the password is removed because the original password has been forgotten, it cannot be decompressed and recompressed. WinRAR decompression software does not have a password retrieval function. In this case, we can use other tools to retrieve the password.

Take the Pepsi Niu RAR password recovery tool as an example. The tool provides 4 methods for retrieving passwords. If you still have some impression of the password, be sure to choose the combination cracking and mask cracking methods. It can be used according to your password. The information provided narrows the search scope, so you can retrieve your password faster.

There is another situation, if what you want to clear is the automatic encryption of RAR files, that is, a password will be automatically set every time the file is compressed. This situation can be resolved in WinRAR decompression software.

Open the WinRAR compression software and click [Options]-[Settings].

After the new page pops up, click [Compression]-[Create Default Configuration] in sequence.

After the new page pops up, click [Set Password]-[OK] in sequence.

At this time, a dialog box for entering the password will pop up. Select the blank box with the mouse, and then press the Enter key on the keyboard. The "Enter Password" dialog box will disappear. Click [OK] on all previous pages.

After the operation is completed, the automatic encryption function of the compression software will be released, and the password will not be automatically set again when the file is compressed again. However, the password of the previously compressed RAR file still exists and can be removed according to the method described above.
