Password Protected rAr files

[hjpotter92]

I had some years ago created some RAR files which I protected by different passwords. I am now confused which file has which password. I do not even remeber some of them. Is there something which can help me out. I have tried this: this. But it's a shareware, and didn't help much.

The password can be cracked only by brute force method.
And brute force takes from few minutes to many years(depend on password length & ur CPU,RAM ).
So if it is very important all the best....

brute force method will do the job but it wold take too much time for password more than 8-10 characters ---more than 24 hours (for longer passwords it is unpractical). if you remember some of characters of password it may reduce the time to crack password.
I once recovered 5 character password within 15 minutes.

hmm What does Brute Force Method do?
Does it try all the available options like Dictionary Attack?

I tried some of the very common passwords, and luckily, most of my archieves were opened.

BTW, thanks to all of you.
