I need a help guys, I forgot password of my wallet (maybe part of it I know, some words for instance, but not sure about the order).

I tried with Revelion scripts but when I run brute script it says "incorrect RPC user/pass". I am running latest bitcoin core, and Revelion scripts are a bit old, hence there might be some incompatibilities. Anyhow, I manually made bitcoin.conf file and set the same user ans pass as in script, but script still won't run.

Do you have any other solution that works with latest bitcoin core?

I also tried this script https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#windows--bitcoin-core-multibit-classic-or-electrum , script itself runs but no password match (I tried with all "possible" words that could be within the password but with no result), hence I doubt it actually works.  
 

btcrecover works, I can confirm it; it's the one I use and it certainly works. The most probably thing, is that you are not putting enough words on the password, or not the right ones. Other possibility is that your wallet.dat file is corrupted.

I can help you, just check my signature and if you agree, contact me.

Hope you can get your coins back. Cheers.
