Try this website. You'll have to have some clues about your password though. If you don't remember anything at all and if it was all random numbers and letters, the chances for a recovery are very slim.

You might also try to crack the password yourself.
If you have a clue about your password (or know at least anything, included min./max. length, special character, digits, characters which you are sure about are not used in your password, etc... ) you can try to use btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md)) to recover the password and decrypt your wallet.dat

Feel free to ask questions during the process if you seem to find a hurdle. Never share any secret information (your wallet.dat file or a private key, etc.).
