CNET Editors' review
RAR Password Recovery proved to be an effective way to uncover lost or forgotten passwords, but--as its name implies--it only works with one file type. Its straightforward, tabbed interface clearly represents the three main password recovery options: Brute-Force, Booost-Up, and Dictionary. Each approach proved successful in our tests, although the demo limits passwords to three characters. Conveniently, you can save password recovery settings in projects for future use. While it can only handle one file format, users who need to unlock their RAR files will find this application up to the task.Publisher's Description
From Intelore:
RAR Password Recovery is a powerful tool to recover lost or forgotten passwords for a RAR/WinRAR (2.xx and 3.xx) archives. The program supports the "brute-force" attack, dictionary-based attack, and dramatically fastest "Booost-Up" attack. The program is able to resume the previous interrupted attack.
Version 1.1 RC16 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"Acts like malware - demo too limited"
Version: RAR Password Recovery 1.1 RC16
Pros
None that I can see
Cons
This program opens popups, requires admin UAC where it should not, and required revo uninstaller to remove many features. This is a bad trial. The trial itself can only crack passwords up to 3 characters.
Summary
Far too risky to demo. The very limited ability of the demo makes it not even worth trying. I am very disappointed that CNET lets this thing stay in the download library as it exhibits far too many malware traits.

"Great Program!"
Version: RAR Password Recovery 1.1 RC16
Pros
Does exactly what it it says
Cons
Doesn't make my dinner
Summary
This is not a con. Fair enough it takes ages but any good password cracker will. You have to buy the full version to crack every rar file. Based on some user reviews, obviously you can't test the program with downloaded rar files if you have a 3 character limit but did ya ever think to create an encrypted .rar file and use the program to try find the password to test it? Common sense really
