If you have a clue what your password might be or know some specific characteristics of your password you might try out btcrecover.
But you need a pretty decent clue on what it might be.

For example, can you limit the amount of characters it had (e.g. 6 to 8 ) ?
Can you tell for sure which symbols you have (or have not) used ?
Do you regularly use any specific sequence (e.g. always 123 at the end) ?

All of these things are helping to decrease the search space. If you can guess it good enough, you can bruteforce it.

Yes, I setup up btcrecover lastnight only to discover that I had to know part of the password to start with.
Is there a way to just bruteforce the password without knowing any part of it or will that just take too much time to compute?
