| RAR Password Recovery (*.rar) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recovery Type | Success rate | Estimated Time | Price | ||
| Weak Password Recovery | ≈ 22% | Within a few minutes | Free | Start | |
| Strong Password Recovery | ≈ 61% | Up to 18 hours | $39.00 * | Start | |
| Brute Force ** | 100% *** | Time depends on mask complexity | On Request | Custom Request | |
* You only pay after the password is successfully recovered.
** We search all possible password combinations based on the specified mask, which must include the password’s structure — like maximum length and character set — because without it, brute-forcing a 10-character password blindly would take thousands of years (over 67 quintillion combinations); you can estimate this using our Brute Force calculator.
*** A 100% success rate is guaranteed only if the mask you provide is accurate. If the mask parameters — including character set and maximum length — are incorrect, recovery will fail. Please use mask-based recovery only if you're confident about the exact structure of the password.

How to Unlock a Password-Protected RAR File?
If you already know your archive password, removing password protection is straightforward. While WinRAR itself does not directly allow you to remove a password from an existing protected archive, the process remains simple. You need to extract the contents of your archive to a new folder using the existing password, and then create a new RAR archive from these extracted files without applying password protection.
If you don’t know the password, the first step is recovery. Upload your file to our service, and we’ll handle the rest. We’ll notify you as soon as the recovery process is complete.
