I don't use Electrum, so I'm basing this on the FAQ (http://electrum.orain.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions#I_have_forgotten_my_password_but_still_have_my_seed._Is_there_any_way_I_can_recover_my_password.3F). Do you still have the "seed"? If you do it looks like you might be in luck - you can restore your wallet from the seed and reset your password to a new one. If you don't have the seed I'm out of ideas - sorry!

Just use the seed on a new wallet.
