You need to specify the wallet/client you're using and the backup format you have.

For example if you're using the QT wallet and have an encrypted wallet.dat you're out of luck. The only way would be to remember the password at least partially and try to brute force it. However if you're using Electrum or other HD wallet and have a backup of the seed then you can use it to restore it and everything will be fine. (However some wallets like Coinomi can encrypt the seed).

What wallet are you using?

If you could just "recover" your password then we all could "recover" it. Bitcoin is not facebook, it has real security and you are in charge of that security.

if you dont have your private key you dont have backups

he have the whole wallet backuped, which is better than having simply the private key

but now a question has come to my mind, it is possible to retrieve the private key if you have the wallet only? i mean without using the client
