You have to find the password for encrypted wallet, there is no other way to spend Bitcoin from encrypted wallet.

But maybe you started without encryption (thus no password required) and have backup of this wallet.dat as well, then it could cointain Bitcoin address you need to spend as the core wallet pre-generates 100 Bitcoin addresses for further usage.

Well.. this depends on the amount of time you are willing to invest to crack your password.

The time is basically depending on 2 factors:
  • Amount of passwords to check (which itself depends on 1) password length and 2) the set of characters used)
  • The amount of combinations your machine is able to test

For example:
If you were using 0-9, a-z and A-Z.. thats 10+26+26(=62) different characters.
If you only remember that your password was between 6 and 8 chars that would result in
62^6 + 62^7 + 62^8 (=221.918.520.000.000) possible combinations you would have to try.
On average you have to serach 1/2 of the search space to find your password (50% chance after 50% being tested).
Thats still quite tough.

The more you remember from your password, the easier it is to reconstruct it.
I'd say anything above 8 characters is not possible to crack in an appropiate amount of time (currently).
