In this paper, we develop a new method to study Rabinowitz's conjecture on the existence of periodic solutions with prescribed minimal period for second order even Hamiltonian system without any convexity assumptions. Specifically, we first study the associated homogenous Dirichlet boundary value problems for the discretization of the Hamiltonian system with given step length and obtain a sequence of nonnegative solutions corresponding to different step lengths by using discrete variational methods. Then, using the sequence of nonnegative solutions, we construct a sequence of continuous functions which can be shown to be precompact. Finally, by utilizing the limit function of convergent subsequence and the symmetry of the potential, we will obtain the desired periodic solution. In particular, we prove Rabinowitz's conjecture in the case when the potential satisfies a certain symmetric assumption. Moreover, our main result greatly improves the related results in the literature in the case where \begin{document}$ N = 1 $\end{document}.
