How to get the Password for a WinRAR file?

[Kelemvor]

My wife RAR'd up some documents and stuck a password on the RAR file and now of course can't remember what it was (was a year or so ago). ANy way to get the password from the RAR file?

If you have any utilities or anything that can do that, please let me know. *sigh* Just another reason to NOT let women put passwords on things...

There are programs out there that claim to be able to do this. The ones I've seen have been the brute force type using a dictionary. It can take a REALLY long time.

I've got a RAR password cracker that isn't brute force but it is at home ... marked for 10 hours from now in case you haven't found it by then.

Woo, nevermind. We figured it out.

I'd still like to know how you get the passwords...
