Winrar is a compression and decompression software commonly used by users. In order to ensure the security of the compressed package, many friends may "lock" the compressed package and can only unlock it by entering the correct password. But what should I do if I accidentally forget my winrar password? How to open winrar compressed archive? Let’s take a look at the detailed methods below.
Method 1:
Open a RAR compressed file. If password protection is set in the early stage, clicking on any file inside will prompt you to enter a password to open the file.
If you are using the WinRAR compressor and want to cancel this password, you can click [Extract to] on the upper toolbar, in the new window that pops up, select the folder where the decompression will be stored, and then click [OK].
At this time, the password prompt window will appear again. Enter the originally set password in the blank space, click [OK], and the files in the compressed package will be decompressed to the folder you just selected.
The files in the folder are no longer password-protected and you do not need to enter a password to open them. Then recompress the file into a compressed package without a password.
