So I have this very, very old rar file that my uncle compressed. And now he has passed away. So the problem is, it has a password. He told me that the file is for me but he never told me the password. It is the only thing I have that reminds me of him and I would like to know if there is a way to bypass the password from the rar file.

I would love some help.

You could use RarCrack to brute-force the file.

Depending on the password strength an your computers processing power this might take somewhere between very long and almost forever, though. I think I read somewhere that passwords with eight and more characters are too much even for the NSA since it's simply not worth it spending so much time running big machines for that little file.

Sadly, that's pretty much all you got.
