.Rar password...what was it again?

Question

i have a .rar file with a password lock on it...but i lost the password. Is there way to get into it and retrieve the data.

Answer 1

There is a brute-force password cracker for RAR files out there, but the "sample" version only allows up to 6 characters, I think and it'll take about a week to run through all the possibilities, depending on your CPU. :)
