First argument to call() is an array but you use full command. Try something like:

subprocess.call(['unrar.exe', 'x', '-p'+password, rarfn], shell=True)

EDIT:

I think you will also have to check if output file is created. Maybe unrar with incorrect password will not create output file. Check if it is created (for example use os.path.isfile()). You can also examine unrar output to see where is the problem.

EDIT2:

It seems that there was no x rar command to Extract files with full path.

This is working example where I rar-ed with password file Order.htm into Order.rar and then I deleted Order.htm:

rarfn = 'Order.rar'
outfn = 'Order.htm'
if os.path.isfile(outfn):
    print('%s already exists!!!' % (outfn))
else:
    for password in ('ala', 'ma', 'kota', 'zorro', 'rudy'):
        print('testing %s...' % (password))
        subprocess.call(['unrar.exe', 'x', '-p'+password, rarfn], shell=True)
        if os.path.isfile(outfn):
            print('guessed: [%s]' % (password))
            break
