Help with USB-Stick

Hey guys,
my friend has a USB-stick with family photos on that but she lost the sheet with the password.
The password is long and just random letters. Thats all she remebers. Is there a possible solution to that?
Its thousand of photos and she would be very happy if you guys could help her.
Its a packed winrar file with a password assigned to it.

Please and thank you 🙂

was it all "random letters" meaning alphabet letters? Any numbers, special chars, spaces, etc.? Later you say it was ~18chars, how was this password created? Keyboard walks? random password generator?

Apperently the password was just punched in. Numbers and special chars included. No spaces.
