How to Put Passwords on RARs
- 1). Download and install WinRAR (see Resources).
- 2). Right-click on the files you want to compress into RAR and select "Add to Archive."
- 3). Click "Advanced," and then "Set Password" to add a password to the file.
- 4). Type a password into the textbox that appears. Click "OK" to close the password screen and set the password.
- 5). Click "OK" back in the main area to begin compressing the file into a password-protected RAR file. This RAR appears right next to the original file you chose to compress. To open the RAR file later, double-click on it to launch WinRAR, then enter the password in the box that appears and click "OK." The file inside of the RAR file will appear in a box.
- 6). Click and drag the RAR file from the box to your computer's desktop to decompress it again.
