The best solution would be to bruteforce it and get your private keys.  Then just recover in any wallet...


Be careful about anyone who request your file.
by handing over your file in the forum there is a considerable risk of being scammed.

I never used, but this service is very popular, and they might help you:

Do you mean btcrecover (https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) rather than bitrecover? I'm not aware of any relevant software by the name of bitrecover.

Your only options are either:
1 - Share with us as much as you can remember about your password and what you have tried so far, and we can try creating a new tokenlist file to widen your search.
2 - Pay for a professional recovery service as bitmover has suggested.
