I recently downloaded a piece of software that came in a .ZIP archive, but the .EXE software inside of the archive had a password on it. The website that I would have gotten the password from closed a while ago.
Because the executable is password protected it cannot be extracted.
I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium, and I use winrar
for my archives.
So, I guess my question is is it possible to crack a password for a file within an archive without extracting it?

This is reputed to be the gold standard in archive extractors. Not particularly cheap, but they have a great reputation.Elcomsoft Advanced Archive Password Recovery.
The assumption I'm making here is that it's the archive which has the password. This is based on the fact that you say it cannot be extracted; if it were the .exe which were password protected you could extract it, you just wouldn't be able to act on the .exe. Secondly, programs inside password-protected archives are very common, and password protected .exe's are less so.
