No, there is no way to extract the files without giving it a password.

There are ways, however, to get the password back.

You didn't specify your OS but if you're on Linux you could try RarCrack.

There are a lot of password crackers to be found on the internet.
You can take a look here for a few of them. This site show a link to crark.net for Rar-files.

Otherwise take a look at Google search. It shows a lot of them on the first 2 pages.
