I have a rar file which is password protected. I forgot the password. Is there any way that will extract this file without giving the actual password ?

  • We need a lot more information. Tell us everything you do remember about the password. Was it words? Numbers? Did it have punctuation? How long was it? Give us everything you got and there's at least a small chance we can help you. – David Schwartz Mar 01 '14 at 23:04

No, there is no way to extract the files without giving it a password.

There are ways, however, to get the password back.

You didn't specify your OS but if you're on Linux you could try RarCrack.

There are a lot of password crackers to be found on the internet.
You can take a look here for a few of them. This site show a link to crark.net for Rar-files.

Otherwise take a look at Google search. It shows a lot of them on the first 2 pages.
