Option 1: Create a New Archive File Without Password Restriction

As a password can be set to protect the file from unauthorized access, when the file is double-clicked, the user is prompted to enter a password. But if you entered a wrong password, the file remains locked. Well, you can remove the password restrictions on RAR files by creating a new archive file.

1. Double-click the RAR file to open.

2. Enter the password when prompted. The contents of the file are then extracted.

3. Right-click the extracted file and click “Add to Archive.” The “Archive Name and Parameters” window launches.

4. Click the “Advanced” tab and then click “Set Password.”

5. Empty any text in the both password boxes in the Set Password window.

6. Click the “OK” button to save the settings. A new RAR archive file is created without a password.

Option 2: Remove the Password with a RAR Password Recovery

When you can not still access into the rar files with password protected, at this time you can take a rar password recovery tool to get in.

Meh, never really put password on RAR/ZIP files, unless it's something of importance.

Set password for RAR files sometimes can be useful, as many this forum member post malware samples link and they set password for the RAR folder.
This action will prevent antivirus from remove the malware in it.

It depends on the password as to how long it takes.It sometimes takes a very long time.Thats why I dont even bother with it.

Some times searching on Google for the Source of the RAR file usually has the password, unless it's from a private source.

Or if it's your own RAR file with password, you should use something more memorable or store the password as a secure note on LastPass or other another storage medium.
