Well, Over the last month i've been sending 10% of my mining income to a savings wallet, So that when the blockchain splits to 25 (like it did) i would have some coins in savings to use.
Well, Over that last month, I forgot the password to the wallet, Any ideas on how i can gain access to it?

EDIT: after some forum chatter i feel that a great way to go about opening my wallet would be to run a script at it, Simmliar to the one that Stephen Gornick referaced.

So the bounty is this, The person who posts a working user friendly guide to getting the/a script running at the wallet, Will be given 1btc.
I'll consider it a "working" script if I can:
Set a known test password
Run the script at it with three missing variables and have it find the password in a timely fashion.

If the script works for <3 missing variables then i offer .65btc

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

From a previous thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85495.msg942171#msg942171

It's a script to try to find your pass-phrase if you made a typo or remember roughly what it was.

It might help to start with some questions.

Do you have a good guess at approximately what you password is?

Do you know how many characters long the password is likely to be?

Do you know if you would have used anything other than lowercase letters (upper case, numbers, punctuation, etc) in your password?

What operating system are you using (Windows, Linux, etc)?

There are instructions in the thread linked above.

If you know the passphrase +/- 2 characters it might be recoverable.  How much do you know?
