Any chance of you doing a video on how to recover lost passwords from zip and rar files ?
I can't be the only one that has lost some passwords from an old hard drive

Look, you can try the tools that implement the brute-force technique but be advised that they may take like forever to recover the passwords, and can require a lot of important resources
I would still say that a composed mind when you're all alone, would be your best bet but if it does not work, you would just have to learn to let go

Passwords can be simple or hard to crack depending on the complexity of them like partha said the brute force technique can take forever and there is no guarantee it can crack the password for example passwords like (buster) would be easier to crack than (*_8u$T3r_*)

I think one of biggest mistake people make is not using a password manager
I would recommend Keepass or LastPass

Both Keepass or LastPass are great, even better when you store them all on your pen drive with a password.

Password mangment is still a big problem that's why we need more video from britec on it you did one on keepass you should do one on lasspass and keeping them on a pen drive with one password
