Do you remember any of the passphrase, how many letters , and do you remember anything of the password?
There are some people here who can help you reset lost password, for sure.

If you search around you'll find that there are some scripts to try and help "brute force" your password assuming you do remember at least a reasonable amount of it (e.g. sure of say 8 out of 12 characters).

If it is a "secure" password (i.e. more than say 12 characters with mixed upper, lower, number and specials) and you remember none of it then there is nothing that anyone can do for you sorry.

I have also put a password. I still know it, that's no problem. But is there a way te deleted this password so that you don't have a password in the future. SO i can never lose it any more.

there are some letters and numbers in my passwords that i reuse alot.


If you can remember some of the letters and number present (and in the right order) and provided your password isn't ridiculously long you should be able to brute-force your password. Check here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85495.0

Some of those guys should be able to code you up a solution.

someone untrusted can even steal the coins if he is able to crack the password , so it would be wise to use known services only.

If someone solves it, they can steal the coins.

If the password is very weak then you can try and brute force it, but if it is a more complicated and complex password then you can consider them gone.
