How to Remove RAR Password Using Command Prompt (CMD)
Removing RAR Password Using Command Prompt (CMD)
If you've forgotten the password for a RAR file and need to regain access, you can try using Command Prompt (CMD) to remove the password. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Open Command Prompt on your Windows system.
- Navigate to the folder where the locked RAR file is located using the 'cd' command.
- Once in the directory, type 'winrar.exe e -p[yourpassword] filename.rar' and hit enter. Replace '[yourpassword]' with the actual password and 'filename.rar' with the name of the RAR file.
- Press enter, and if the password is correct, the RAR file will be extracted without the password.
It's important to note that this method works only if you know the password. If you've forgotten the password, there are other tools available online that you can use to unlock RAR files. Always ensure you have the legal right to access the contents of the RAR file before attempting to remove the password.
