Btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover). You can start by reading the tutorial (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md).
2. WalletRecoveryServices (https://walletrecoveryservices.com/). You will have to pay up to 20% fee If they manage to crack it.

I own what I believe is the most powerful password cracking cluster for pre v2.8 electrum wallets.
