My important documents with no access

Hi all, I have many documents in my rar archive. I packed it two days ago, today I wanted to open it and to add some new information. But I clicked twice on archive, it didn't opened. I use WinRAR, as I remember. I have in it my reports on job and in couple of days, I have to see it to my boss.

SOURCE: how to reset the password of .rar file

well you seem to be in a little bit of a predicament. There is one way to get around the password and that is only brute force. If you can find a way around the password, you still won't be able to decrypt the files. Running the following program is going to be your only way in and it is going to take a long time. You need to set up the program then let it run, possibly for several days. If your password was short, 3-4 characters, it should get you in within in probably a day. Any longer, you need to set it and forget about it for a while, but it will eventually get you in. Make sure your computer stays on in the meantime. Good Luck to ya. www.rarpasswordcracker.com

Inspiron stopped working cause of huge file

I would recommend you should do a hardware test- RAM test and HDD test. You should also try doing CRC test.
Also, if the problem still persists, then it might be due to the windows installed as there usually occurs a problem in windows 10. If windows 10 is installed and you have reinstalled it several times, then try installing windows 7, it may work for you. Thanks!

Want help to download free RAR password recovery software and how to reset RAR...

Yssterday My sister had download a RAR file but unlucky it has a password. So she can not open it and ask me for help.
There is nothing worse than can’t open a file that it is really important for you..
May be you also have the same problem and need help now. So today I will show you the top easy and efficient method to any one who need.

35c24ac.gif In my article, I will tell you two things:
One is go to where to download RAR password recover software, and another is how to reset RAR password.

1. Want help to download free RAR password recovery software
I had search and collect some useful webs for people to free download some softwares.
These websites are safe and security, You don't need to worry, Like:
1) http://www.recoverlostpassword.com/products/rarpasswordrecovery.html

2)http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/Password_Management_Utilities/RAR_Password_Recovery.html

3)http://www.tucows.com/preview/736141/RAR-Password-Recovery?q=Access+Password+Recovery+5.0

4) http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/soft/5155696/

5) http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/RAR_Password_Recovery_62936_p/



2. How to reset RAR password
A RAR archive is a type of computer file known as an archive. The RAR file contains multiple other computer files all compressed down into one file thanks to a program called WinRAR. WinRAR does not give users the option to change a password once one has already been applied to a RAR archive. The user must create a new archive with a different password. Luckily, this can be done in just a few simple steps.
Take RAR Password Recovery 5.0 for example.
It recovers passwords for RAR archives created with WinRAR, RAR or any other RAR-compatible software. Forgetting a password for an archive created long time ago is a common annoyance. RAR Password Recovery helps you to get your data back. Advanced dictionary attack, brute-force attack, and advanced brute-force with mask attack are used to recover the password.
This software is easy to install and easy to use. All you need to do to recover your password is just to drag and drop your file to the program window. Dictionary attack supports 'mistypes' and additional user dictionaries.

489fe0e.jpg I personally recommend you to use Advanced dictionary attack.. My sister had test and found it is the most fast and easy way to recover password.
This attack is highly recommended as it offers a smarter access to the password recovery. If use properly, it is the fastest when compared with the above two attacks. This attack is intended to seek the possible password based on a dictionary. Then what’s a dictionary? Dictionary is a text file, which can be simply interpreted as a library listing the password elements. The program will just base on this dictionary to detect the password. This dictionary can be the integrated one or the one you provide. The integrated dictionary is a text file listing common character combinations, such as a, ab, 123, 4, AB, etc.
