Is it possible to crack ARJ, ZIP, RAR etc password instantly?

No. The archive password is not stored anywhere in the archive, so you can’t extract it or patch the archiver program to cancel requesting password. Archivers usually encrypt already compressed files (but not compress encrypted ones) and save their checksum (CRC). Being uncompressed, this file is decrypted and its check sum is verified.
