ZIP RAR ACE Password Recovery is a small, simple and handy tool that helps you retrieve the lost or forgotten passwords for your archives. As its name says, it supports ZIP, RAR, and ACE archives. It also supports multi-volume RAR files as well as self-executable archives. All RAR versions including v3.x and v4.x are supported.
In order to recover the lost passwords for you, it uses cracking methods based on brute-force attacks and on the usage of dictionaries (word databases). Using customized character masks for the brute-force attacks is also possible, and so is the thorough customization of the password parameters, which can greatly decrease the recovery time (you can set a minimum and maximum password length, select only specific characters types for the composition of the password, such as only capital letters or only numbers, etc.).
Compared to other similar password recovery tools, ZIP RAR ACE Password Recovery provides with a pretty fast password recovery speed. It’s also very easy-to-use, simple, and intuitive. Its interface is not only straightforward, but also quite elegant, and it can also be customized with the use of skins.
