This is from the winrar help file:
"When extracting encrypted files, it is not necessary to enter the password before starting the operation, though you may do so. If a password was not entered before extraction and WinRAR encounters an encrypted file, the password will be requested from the user."
So you can input the password first somehow but I never have, it always gives me a pop-up as the un-raring starts and asks for the password. Sounds like a glitch in the program. You may try to re-install winrar or try to fiqure out how to input the password first. Probably by opening the winrar console and navigating to the rar file you want and then looking for options to give a password. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
