You have to remember what are the first 3-4 words. Otherwise, you need a really strong machine to print you all those different combinations.
I am a little confused, did you mean first 3-4 letters instead of words?

BlackHatCoiner has posted a script to generate word combinations for a seed phrase. It is not intended for brute force hacking of electrum password.

Speaking of recovering a forgotten password, I found a tool that might be useful to someone in a similar situation.
