CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This program recovers forgotten passwords for RAR archives. Recovery runs in the background and resumes on the next system start-up. When you have completely forgotten a password, Advanced RAR Password Recovery will run a brute-force attack that applies all possible combinations one by one. In such a case, you can set the minimum and maximum number of characters and the character sets you used (letters, numbers, and non-English characters). If you recall part of the password, you can restrict the search area with a mask such as m***l. If you have used a meaningful word for your password, the dictionary attack helps. You can plug in external dictionaries and check all possible lowercase and uppercase combinations. To decrease recovery time, the program optimizes its code for each type of processor. The trial version limits recovery to three-letter combinations, which doesn't give you the opportunity to fully evaluate performance. If you've forgotten the password for an important archived document, however, Advanced RAR Password Recovery may save you.
