If you forgot your password, you need to retrieve by your private key that is the most important thing.
He wont ask such thing if he had the private key yet those are the main option on accessing MEW wallet either on Private keys or on JSON file.
woow that bad . why you forgot your MEW Password, that cannot be restored brother. but if u have json file. you can still login with that. how many token u have on your wallet?
Its none of your business on how many tokens is inside on that wallet and it seems you haven't read the OP yet as being said he forgot the password of the json file where its hard to bruteforce if you do completely forgot password hints and as suggested above there are some recovery services but it wont still give you guarantees and since this issue is from January we don't know if op did able to recover those funds back or not.
