Getting around a winrar password?

[Jimmy the Gent]

Hey, i've just downloaded a rar file but unfortunately its password protected. Is there anyway i can get around this? The file does contain a .text file which i presume contains the password but it wont let me open it as it needs the god damn password.

Anybody got any suggestions?

yes. delete the file. then right click on recycle bin, click on "undo last" and the file will be back and have no password.

thanks, but it didn't work. Still requests the password. Its four rar files btw if that makes a difference..

They're not easy to get around, I've tried a few times and never had any success..

Look for a torrent of Passware Kit Enterprise 10.3. Very handy for cracking file passwords. I'm at work so can't send you a link to the torrent.

By the way if it's a movie or anything like that that you've downloaded that says it's password protected then it's more than likely a fake. Especially if it's something that shouldn't be out yet.
