You are probably familiar with the situation when you download an archived file from the Internet, and they ask you to transfer a certain amount of money for the password. Of course, there is no particular desire to pay. You can also simply forget the password to the archive, which was created a long time ago. Therefore, you can try to decode the archive.
Necessary
- - Computer;
- - ARCHPR program.
Instructions
Step 1
Download ARCHPR (Advanced Archive Password Recovery) from the Internet. Of all the possible applications for decoding an archive, ARCHPR is the simplest, most convenient and does not require installation. Just extract its contents to the desired folder.
Step 2
Run the program. Find the "Attack Type" line in its main menu. There is an arrow next to it, click on it. From the list of options that have arisen, select "Bust" Then go to the "Length" tab. If you know how many characters the password consists of, then put this value in the "Minimum" and "Maximum" lines. If you do not know how many characters are in the password, set the value to 1 in the “Minimum” line, and 7. If the password contains more than seven characters, it will be almost impossible to break it.
Step 3
Then click "Open". In the browse window, specify the path to the file you want to decode. After that, the process of searching for the code will begin. Take into account that the hacking operation is a very long process, the duration of which can be up to ten hours. When the process is completed, a window will appear in which there will be a report on the operation. If the program manages to find the password, it will be in this report.
Step 4
If the password cannot be found in this way, you can try choosing a different type of attack. Click on the arrow and select "By dictionary" as the type of attack. Then go to the "Dictionary" tab. In this tab, check absolutely all items with a checkbox. After everything is configured, click "Start". You do not need to specify the path to the file, since it has been preserved from the last time. As in the previous case, if the password is found, it will be written in the operation report window.
