How to crack a password?

Here is a list of more than 600 softwares able to crack passwords for hundreds of programs, in example MSN, AIM, Linux, WinRAR, ARJ, ZIP, MicrosoftOffice, Excel and many others.

The aim is not always to steal the passwords of other persons, it may also help you to recover a lost password for your archives. Most of them use the brute force calculation to find the passwords, meaning that it will try every password until the right one is found.
