ChasX 12 Report post Posted June 17, 2012 Is there a way to add a password to a winrar file after the rar file has been created? Normally I do this as part of the creation process but I was wondering if I could do this after the fact if I forget to do it from the start. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChasX 12 Report post Posted June 17, 2012 Thank you for the info! I guess I will just have to keep in mind to do that at the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vignesh Nallamad 209 Report post Posted June 18, 2012 when u add a password to the rar file it hash every file in it so tht changing its attributes will become very difficult this is called encryption... so u have to add password at the time of creating the rar file... u cannot add it later...

iONik 11 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Take the RAR file you created withou a pw and RAR it inside a new one with a pw. I'd suspect it wouldn't take as long as there will be little to no compression capability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
