How to Crack WinRAR Password with CMD?

Cracking a WinRAR password can be illegal and unethical if you do not have permission to do so. However, there are legitimate ways to recover a lost password. One common method uses the Command Prompt (CMD) in Windows. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Open CMD as an administrator by searching for 'cmd' in the Windows search bar, right-clicking on 'Command Prompt,' and selecting 'Run as administrator.'
2. Navigate to the directory where the password-protected WinRAR file is located using the 'cd' command.
3. Use the 'rar.exe' command to extract the hash from the WinRAR file by typing 'rar.exe -kb -p[yourfilename.rar] > [hash.txt]' and pressing Enter.
4. Once you have the hash, use a tool like 'John the Ripper' to crack the password. You can do this by typing 'john --format=raw-md5 hash.txt' and letting the tool run until it finds the password.
5. Once the password is recovered, you can use it to unlock the WinRAR file.

Remember, only attempt this on files you own or have the legal right to access. Respect others' privacy and security by not using these methods for illegal purposes.
