How to recover my .rar file password on windows OS?

[khoshtipi]

Hi everyone,

I have a book about C++ Programming that two years ago solved all of its chapters exercises successfully. Then saved all of these source codes into a folder, added it to a .rar file by WinRAR tool with a specific password and saved that file into my USB flash.

Now unfortunately I forgot the password, I remember that password was something like "The C++ Resolvents" or "The resolvents of C++ exercises" or ...with upper or lower cases.
I know there are some tools to recover .rar file passwords such as RAR_Password_Unlocker and so on, but:

1- It takes too long time (days or perhaps months!) to recover that long password and my machine should be On during this time!!!
2- I think they do not support spaces between password, while I'm sure there are at least two or three spaces in my password.

Does any one know is there a quick(er) way to recover my password?
Thanks in advance!

No one knows!!??:shock:

No way I know of. The password crackers use either a dictionary or brute force attack and a 8 character password can take years to discover.

I don't know what effort you have put forth in attempting to find a solution, but a Google search for "winrar password lost" appears to have some promising results.

The following link is one example;

Yeah, I know such kind of recovery of password encrypted .rar files, but look please:
1- my forgotten password is not a word but a sentence (e.g., The Resolvents of C++ Exercises)
2- It has space between its words.
Any chosen tool should surely support that above two specifications and result in the less than 24 hours.
My first goal of posting this issue here was to finding a way to use the distributed systems! When many machines work on that password, logically they result in very sooner than only one machine. But how to use such systems!?

If I count right that is a 30 character password, decades to recover. Spaces make it even more difficult.

I know it's been a while khoshtipi but are you sure you didn't wright a password of such great importance down somewhere for safe keeping.

@britton30:
Yeah, so apparently I should press the start botton and keep it working till my grandsons (after decades) give me the password!!!!!!

@layback bear:
No, unfortunately. Only in my weak mind. And you see the result of remembering this mind

 

[Layback Bear]

Just a suggestion for the future. Because I only have 3 working brain cells I keep all my passwords in a rotary index and stored in a safe place.

 

[khoshtipi]

Yes, good idea for future works. Now should think about solving this one. Anyway, thank you for your try to help me.

Thanks Admin for removing the password remover post. That would require the rar file be uploaded, sounded like an attempt for ID theft and worse.

With respect to you, I should say you have forgotten what I wrote from begining till here or didn't read that accurately. The mentioned .rar file in not someone's, it's mine. It should be clear.

Nobody here on this forum could possibly know that it's not someone else's we only have your word to say so, that's why we have the rule.

 

[khoshtipi]

reread my post. It can help you see what's the problem

 

[Layback Bear]

We know exactly what the problem is. You are in the position of something that is password protected and you don't have the password.

If you were the rightful owner of that .rar file, and it contained valuable data which you needed, then you would surely remembered or written the password.
