    From the WinRAR site:

    RAR encryption does not contain backdoors, so the only possible way to find a password is to test all possible character combinations. Remember that if you lose your password, you will be unable to retrieve the encrypted files, not even the WinRAR author is able to extract encrypted files.
    So the only option is a brute force or dictionary attack - this is what your slow program will be doing. It's really slow but it's your only option.
