Maybe bruteforce, otherwise no way unless you have private key saved. Do you have private key saved for that address?
If you know some parts of the password, it can be easy to recover depending on the length of the password.
I dont have the private key unfortunately I was glad I was able to find the wallet at least. Smiley It an old address I haven't used since 2014.

I have a few words I think are in the password but I've been trying a few and none work.


How many words?
Maybe the words that you think are passwords might be a seed phrase.


If you have the wallet.dat file but you forgot the password you only have one last option to get the right password.
To find the right password you will need to use a recovery tool to bruteforce the password.

Check this one https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover Litecoin is supported with this tool and all guide are inside that link.
I have a txt file that says "its the xxx password" where xxx is a password I used for a lot of things in a lot of variations.

so like xxxLTC12345
or LTCxxx12345
or Supersecretxxxpasswordltc
etc.
