Oh man, sorry for your luck.

It's possible some people here could help, we need to start with more information.

What wallet are you using?

And you're sure you don't have your private keys? (I know the obvious answer, but we might as well make sure since you're "new")

Is there a time delay that is engaged after you enter an incorrect password? Something requiring you to wait a certain amount of time before you can try another password?

Let's start there and figure out what's possible!
