Questions About Recovering RAR Passwords
Can I recover a forgotten RAR password with the software?

Which RAR files does the software open?
RAR files made in WinRAR 5.0 or later open. AES-256 and other RAR encryption methods work.
How long a password can the software recover?
Passwords up to 15 characters work. Shorter length ranges and smaller character sets finish sooner.
What is the difference between brute force and mask attack?

Can I recover the password of a damaged RAR file?
No. Repair the damaged RAR file first and then start the password recovery.
