Just received a password protected rar file in my Linux box and have no idea how to extract it using command line. The reason I need to extract this password protected rar file thru command line is because there is no GUI install in this low end Linux box.

- Login to your Terminal and issue the command below:-
rar e file-to-be-extract.rar

- Once you entered, system will prompt you for password. Enter the password and the rar file will be extracted. It’s tat simple!
