I know the password to the RAR file as I locked it myself. Is there a way to do this in WinRAR or an equivalent program? The only thing I knew to do was to extract it, then create a new RAR without the password.

Out of the box, no, you can not. Version 3 of the RAR file format (implemented first in WinRAR 2.9) encrypts the actual data itself, as well as the file headers (if requested) using AES-128 encryption. With just WinRAR, it is impossible to simply "remove" the password from an archive, since the data itself is encrypted with the password.

Technically, the data is compressed before being encrypted. This indicates that, given enough knowledge of the RAR file format itself, one could create a tool to AES-decrypt the datastream of the compressed files, and then save it into a new RAR archive. It should be noted, however, that this requires extensive knowledge of the file format itself.

Given the number of open-source tools that support password-protected RAR files (e.g. unar), one could learn how to do this by reading existing source code, and then using the decrypted, but still compressed, bitstream to generate a new RAR archive. However, this is far from a trivial task, as you would then have to rebuild the RAR header manually as well (or at least ensure the file format's compatibility).

Step 2: recompress each folder into their own RAR archive, select all the folders, right-click in explorer.exe -> WinRAR -> checkbox "Put each file to separate archive". Screenshot from journeybytes.com:

Or you can open the archive then rightclick on the file and choose "set default password" and then enter the password, this way you will never have to enter the password again anytime you want to open the file.

Brute-force attacks take ages. One thing is that I found out that brute force attacking tries every combination of words from the word-list. Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible to brute force attack the file using individual passwords one-by-one, instead of going through all possible permutations of all the individual passwords contained in my word-list.

In the movies, sometimes you see people "cracking" a password.They try all possibilities for the first letter,and then when they get the first letter right,they try all the possibilities for the second letter, etc.Eventually all the letters fill in, and the then the actor has the whole password.

It doesn't work like the movies with AES. AES passwords are all-or-nothing. If you get all-but-one of the letters right when typing in your password, you get exactly the same "failed" message as if you typed in a completely wrong password.(It's not possible to distinguish the random-looking gibberish from decoding with an almost-correct key from other random-looking gibberish from decoding with a completely wrong key).It's not possible to tell if one guess is "closer" to the right password than another guess.

There are various "password unlocker" programs that will try one guess at a time until they stumble on the correct WinRar password.If the person who made the password-protected WinRar file picked a "strong" password -- for example, a passphrase of 8 words randomly chosen using dice from a short dictionary -- we expect that it will take more than a thousand years to stumble across the correct password.If that person picked a "very weak" password -- such as a single word in the dictionary, or a single dictionary word followed by a single digit, or a single word repeated 8 times, or a sequence of 5 completely random characters -- we expect that it will take less than a day for that program to run through all those very weak passwords and find the correct one.
