You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When a .rar archive is password protected, there is no way to extract it
with ark.

Steps to reproduce with the service-menu (extract):
rightclick on the archive -> chose extract -> any of the extraction options (extract here or something else)
There appear two error messages, like described in bug #55788
and nothing else will happen.

If you open the archive directly with ark -> menu -> file -> open 
you can see the files in the archive but, when extracting it the errormessage shown in the attached sreenshot appears.

I've attached a archive to test it, it was build with the command 
"rar a -p"passwort" testarchiv.rar *"

kubuntu 7.04
kde 3.5.6
ark 2.6.4
RAR 3.70 beta 1
