The most common security option with files and accounts is the password. Since it’s recommended to use a different password each time, some less important ones can easily be forgotten. If it’s the case with files inside a RAR archive, then specialized applications like iSunshare RAR Password Genius can help out.

It takes little time before you can check out the application’s set of features. You meet them in quite an intuitive interface, structured with several tabs which provide quick navigation through process setup elements, such as range, length, dictionary, auto-save, and other general behavior options.

There are several methods through which you attempt to recover the lost password of a RAR archive. You pick it from a drop-down menu, with options like Brute-force, Mask, Dictionary, and Smart. All options are visible, but only become editable when selecting the attack associated attack type.

Needless to say that you first need to load the target RAR file, which is done through the browse dialog. You can initiate the recovery session with the default configuration, but it’s also possible to tweak the operation in an attempt to narrow down results.

The range tab is where you tell the application what characters to include in the operation, such as character casing, special symbols, space, printable, and several more. Minimum and maximum values for length can be specified. A dictionary attack lets you load a custom dictionary file. Projects can be saved automatically in case recovery takes too long.

In case you want to perform other tasks rather than waiting for the program to finish, you can use the background priority option, but this slows down the process. Events can be saved to log files. The password is displayed when detected, with a function to send it to clipboard.

All in all, RAR archives are a secure way of storing files, not just because malicious content can’t get in, but they can also be fitted with passwords. In case you forget the key, iSunshare RAR Password Genius is sure to help you recover it through one of various configurable algorithms.
