Remove a RAR/WinRAR Password Using the .bat File

Creating and utilizing a .bat (batch) file can automate the process of removing RAR/WinRAR passwords using CMD, offering a convenient alternative to manual execution.

Step 1: Copy this code and paste it into Notepad then save this file as .bat

@echo off

 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

 goto RAR
 :GPATH

 IF "%PATH%"=="" goto PERROR
 goto NEXT
 :PERROR
 echo You can't leave this blank.
 pause
 goto RAR

 IF EXIST "%PATH%\%NAME%" GOTO SP
 goto PATH
 :PATH

 echo File couldn't be found. Make sure you include the (.RAR) extension at the end of the file's name.

Step 2: Then, Copy the RAR file/folder path

To copy the path right click on file/folder then from the menu select “Copy as Path” or just press “Crtl + Shift + C“

Step 3: Next, Double click on the .bat file

Now paste the file name and file/folder path on the CMD window

Step 4: Press the Enter button to execute the program.

RAR files are encrypted with strong AES 256 or AES 128, depending on the version. Passwords are often set up for WinRAR files to ensure data security. However, people often forget or lose access to these files over time. To crack a forgotten RAR/WinRAR password, use Command Prompt, a command-line interpreter on Windows operating systems.
