    WinRAR is understood to be a 32-bit Windows-based archiver and archive manager utilized to produce compressed files much like the way the popular ZIP compression format handles it. This software utility is effective at creating multiple component archives which can be divide into smaller parts usually using the RAR, R00, R01, etc as its file extension format but may also use the ZIP extension if favored from the user. Installation of the utility generally puts an alternative in the context menu of the Operating System enabling the user to access the tool by starting the compression process and hitting the file or folder to become compressed. This tool comes with a password protection feature to be able to prevent unauthorized access for the contents of the archive that was compressed by saving into any storage media or locking in it to other users prior to its distribution.

    Materials Needed:
    - WinRAR
    - compressed archive

    Step 1

    Unlike other compression utilities, WinRAR will not present a clear-cut way of removing password protection for the archives that are formerly protected. This is perhaps done to ensure that its contents are being accessed by only authorized users with the right password. Double click on the file that will open the archive, to remove the password protection feature.

    Step 2

    Determined by the way the file was compressed, the contents might or might not be shown for the user. The user may be motivated to input the password in to the message text box. Just a right password can remove the contents of the archive. A window revealing the possible errors encountered during the extraction process will be opened by a password that is incorrect.

    Step 3

    The contents of the file is now able to be obtained by the user, once extracted. A fresh archive must be created, to remove the password protection. Right click the extracted file and select the 'Increase Archive' option in the context menu.

    Step 4

    Parameters window and the Archive name will be shown for the user. Click to the 'Sophisticated' bill and click the Set password button. Ensure that both text boxes are empty. The check boxes for that 'Encrypt file names' option could be triggered without initiating the password protection feature. This can encrypt more sensitive places like other data blocks, sizes, and characteristics but also the file data. This may be used to prevent showing of the list of files within the archive.

    Step 5

    Click to the 'OK' button. This will create a fresh archive with a RAR format which is not shielded by any password utility. The source archive with password protection is now able to be deleted by the user if wanted.
