But depending on the type of security that was implemented while creating the WinRAR file, most of these methods might not work. But there’s always an option to try, so let’s begin.

Step 1: On your PC, locate the WinRAR file that you want to unlock the password. Right-click on the file, then select Open With. Choose Notepad as the default option you want to use to open the file.

Step 2: Once the file opens in Notepad, on the top menu, click on Edit. Then look for the option that says Replace. Click on it. Now Replace Ûtà with 5^3tà and ‘IžC0 with IžC_0. Once the strings are replaced, then save the file.

Step 3: After you’ve completed the whole process. Now go back to the file you want to unlock and click on it. If the process works, WinRAR won’t prompt you to enter a password and if it doesn’t, try another method.

Method 2: Using CMD to Unlock WinRAR

CMD offers another way to bypass WinRAR password easily. This method works majorly on files created with WinRAR or any type of RAR file. You’ll need to create a .bat file with Notepad and with the help of CMD, you’ll be able to unlock WinRAR password. Follow the steps below to bypass WinRAR password with CMD.

Step 1: Launch the Notepad app on your PC, then copy the code below and paste it as a new document on Notepad. Then save it as a .bat file on your PC. You can copy the codes below.

@echo off title WinRar Password Retriever copy “C:\Program Files\WinRAR\Unrar.exe” SET PASS=0 SET TMP=TempFold MD %TMP% :RAR cls echo. SET/P “NAME=File Name : ” IF “%NAME%”==”” goto ProblemDetected goto GPATH :ProblemDetected echo You can’t leave this blank. pause goto RAR :GPATH SET/P “PATH=Enter Full Path (eg: C:\Users\Admin\Desktop) : ” IF “%PATH%”==”” goto PERROR goto NEXT :PERROR echo You can’t leave this blank. pause goto RAR :NEXT IF EXIST “%PATH%\%NAME%” GOTO SP goto PATH :PATH cls echo File couldn’t be found. Make sure you include the (.RAR) extension at the end of the file’s name. pause goto RAR :SP echo. echo Breaking Password… echo. :START title Processing… SET /A PASS=%PASS%+1 UNRAR E -INUL -P%PASS% “%PATH%\%NAME%” “%TMP%” IF /I %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 GOTO FINISH GOTO START :FINISH RD %TMP% /Q /S Del “Unrar.exe” cls title 1 Password Found echo. echo File = %NAME% echo Stable Password= %PASS% echo. echo Press any key to exit. pause>NUL exit
