YO!,
Does anybody know how to find out what the password is that was used to create a .rar file? I am trying to make a CD of downloaded music, but when I try to reformat (with WINRAR) into a file type that I can burn, I am asked for the password. Please be very explicit as I am not only a newbie, but a dummy as well. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hi,
If the RAR was made with 3.x then its very very hard to get the password. There are progs that can try and force the encryption but when i tested it out using a 4 chars, it sed it would take 4/5 days to do it! Also it sed that it might no work @ all.
