However, such passwords are hard to remember and can be easily cracked, try setting the password with the square block of "Made in China. Using Chinese characters for password cracking is much more troublesome. You can also use beautiful Ancient Poems and famous sentences as passwords, which are not only elegant but easy to remember. The following describes how to encrypt WinRAR documents.

Add the file to be encrypted to WinRAR, and click "set password" in the "advanced" tab. The password input window is displayed. Because the Chinese characters cannot be entered directly in the password input window, we must create a new text document and enter the Chinese characters as the password. Copy the entered Chinese characters to the password input column in the password input window. Because each Chinese character is recognized as two printable ASCII codes, the asterisks that indicate the number of passwords will double. After that, paste the Chinese character password into the verification Password Input column and click "OK.
