Steps to Recovery Lost/Forgotten ZIP/RAR Password:

 

• Launch the software
• Select the archive file whose password you want to crack by clicking the 'Open File' button.
• From the 'Password Length' section, you can provide the minimum and maximum number of characters that you suspect the password to have.
• The 'Mask' section can be used in the following two ways:
  • Starting Characters: Using this option, you can provide the initial characters of the password so that the software will search for the remaining characters of the password. For example, if the password is 'Vista81', then you can provide 'Vis' as the starting characters. Then, the tool will search for the remaining four characters keeping 'Vis' as a constant.
  • Mask characters: This option is useful if you exactly know the number of characters and the placement of some of the characters in the password. You can provide the characters that you know and put '?' as wildcard character in place of the remaining characters. For example, if the password is 'Vista81', and you do not remember the numeric characters, then you can put 'Vista??' in the 'Mask Characters' section. Then, the software will search for the remaining two characters in the password.
• In the 'Characters Set' section, you can select the type of the characters that the password may contain. You can select from the following character sets:
  • [a-z]: Select this option if the password contains lowercase characters.
  • [A-Z]: Select this option if the password contains uppercase characters.
  • [0-9]: Select this option if the password contains numeric characters.
  • [~!@$]: Select this option if the password contains special characters.
  • All printable: Select this option if the password contains all the printable characters including the previous four options.
  • Space: Select this option if the password contains spaces.
• Click the 'Start' button to recover archive password. The archive password will be cracked after the time displayed in the dynamic process dialog. Please note that the time taken to crack password depends entirely on the accuracy characters that you provide.
