Recover password from .7z file

[Leros]

I was trying to keep some files private so I put them in a .7z file with a password. I cannot get into the file now, so I must have forgotten the password.


I found a demo for a password recovery program but it only does up to 5 characters, and I think my password was 8 characters. My password was words and not random characters, so it shouldn't be too difficult to crack.


Are there any free 7z password recovery programs out there?

5 character limit on demo is probably because at 5 characters it'll crack it within ur lifetime😉

Looks like rarcrack is commonly used; but mostly with Linux. Knoppix might include it; I also saw a few (unverified) Google results for "rarcrack Windows binary". Also follow these instructions to decrease the number of characters you search if you're sure you didn't use digits and/or upper-case characters
