How to extract a rar file without password on a Windows 11 PC?
If you want to try to extract a RAR file with a password using the command line tool, you can try the RAR command line tool (which comes with WinRAR). However, this method requires knowing the password to extract it, and there is no way to bypass rar password directly.
The steps are as follows:
1. Download and install WinRAR: Make sure you have installed WinRAR, which includes the command line tool.
2. Open the Command Prompt (CMD): Type cmd in the Windows search box and run it as an administrator.
3. Use the command to extract the RAR file:
For example:
4. Press Enter: If the password is correct, the file will be automatically extracted. If you don't know the password, the command line tool cannot be directly bypassed.
The command line tool is more for extracting and compressing RAR files rather than cracking passwords. If you don't have the password, you still have to rely on other recovery tools.
