    Hi

    I have a winrar file that is password protected ,and I have the password .

    The password is as follows

    password<TAB>

    the password with tab needs to be cut and paste from notepad because you can't hit tab in winrar password box.

    Those are the instructions that are given with the file

    I must be daft , I ve tried every which way to enter this into winrar to no avail . I copied the entire line of password<TAB> and i ve copied just TAB and even just the <TAB> portion , and just the word password

    This is making no sense to me , can someone please advise me further on this dilemma I find myself in . Since I appear real thic , can you please make it for dumies instructions , precisely as things should look from where my daft butt sits

    Cheers

    Success !!!!!

    I may not be 100% daft after all

    After a few days on my own , I finally post a thread for help , and within minutes the answer came to me as folow for any other folk needing this advice

    when prompted for password enter the word password ,and in a blank notepad hit tab key which will
    move over a few spaces , now tho u see nothing , hit edit-select all and copy ,and paste this
    next to the word password in winrar password prompt box

    Tho it may not seem so , posting here was still a help for me

    Cheers
