rar password cracker

[Canai]

So I RARed some ah, files a while back, and threw a pass on it, but now I can't remember what the pass was for the life of me. Any suggestions as to a good, preferably free, password removal tool for rar files?

How strong was the password, do you know that much? Because if it's a random alphanumeric of more than 6 or 7 characters you might as well give up now - RAR uses some very strong encryption. AES I think. If it's a dictionary word you might have some luck...

You could try this program:

Not sure how much it will tell you without paying the $30 fee for it

Also this one from Elcomsoft:

Little of both haha... yeah I gave up after running brute force for a few hours... it was prolly over 6 digits and fairly strong... I like my encryption heh. Thanks for the help though.

I forgot a 12 digit password for some stuff I encrypted a while ago, I'll wait 40 years and perhaps computers will be powerful enough to brute force it then.
