Hello guys. I face the most stupid situation ever.
I've forgotten electrum wallet password and unfortunately can't find a paper with recovery seed printed on it.
Is there any way to bruteforce my password?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You mean you need help to hack into a wallet you found?

I for one don't think there is a way to find a password with brute-force, though there are service which seem to offer the same but they require part of the password to try and find the rest of it and it would require you to trust them that after successfully breaking in your wallet they wouldn't just steal the funds themselves and for that reason, it is not recommended.

This is the only reputable service that I know of

You would need to know at least part of the password for Dave to even attempt recovery.
