Noice. Feel free to ask any questions but:
1) Download the hashcat binaries from the top of `hashcat.net` and extract the 7z
2) Use `rar2john` (google it) to extract the hash from the file
3) Create a file in the same folder that Hashcat is in and copy-paste the hash that rar2john gave you. It should start with: `YourFile.rar:$RAR...`
4) Download a wordlist like `rockyou` (google it) and put that file in the same folder as Hashcat, same as before.
5) Open command prompt and type `cd "C:/Path/To/Your/Hashcat/Folder/Here"`
6) Start Hashcat with this command: `hashcat -m 13000 YourHashFile.txt rockyou.txt -r rules/best64.rule`
7) Hope for the best \
If it doesn't crack after step 6, try other wordlists like hashmob.net or some on weakpass.com but it's never guaranteed to crack, you just have to get lucky
