Did you test these softwares ace They are all bruteforcers I guess. If the password is lame then its fine but if not then wait for ages WinRAR has a strong encryption and therefore brutforcers is the only solution to recover lost passwords.

Anyways another one is Asterisk Password Recovery XP for revealing those **** passwords. The webiste is down currently.

All the best and thanks for that ASProtected Elcomsoft software
