Wait 50 years when you’ll be able to bruteforce it
Ian Morris
Write down what you can remember, if you forgot just a few characters and are sure about the rest bruteforcing isn't impossible
Nathan Rogers
It also helps a lot if you're sure what kind of characters you forgot, for example you're sure they're numbers
Joseph Bailey
you can make a brute force script based on what you know. Let it randomly alternate capitals and other "creativity" Its doable provided what you know. GL
Just unlock your password manager and go check there. You do have it saved in one, right?

You are retarded for using encryption at all. If it's not cp then you don't need it and if it is then you're gigaretard just for keeping it on your machine, encrypted or otherwise.
Mason Robinson
I hope OP gets their cp back, otherwise they might hurt actual kids. Next time, use a password manager, OP.
Jace Brooks
post the password that you remember and maybe someone with autis-genius can decipher your autist password.
Julian Morris
Who taught the retard what encryption was?
Grayson Lopez
Use a pass cracking program like jtr or hashcat and do an attack with your password as a base and rules to do variations on it. You just need to brute force your creativeness/dumbness, not the entire pass.
