Re: How to create password protect RAR files You need to set the password at the same time as you create the archive. Add the files to the archive and then click on Advanced-->Set Password. If you just type a password in, you will be able to see what is inside the archive without knowing the password (but you won't be able to extract the files). But if you also tick the "Encrypt file names" box, you won't be able to see what's inside the archive unless you enter the password first. |

Re: How to create password protect RAR files Rar files have 128 bit encryption which is extremely difficult to break. There are two types of password protection in rar archives. You cannot open the rar archive without the password, hence cannot even view the contents or individual files without the password. Here you can set the password in two ways.
