I have forgotten my MyEtherWallet.com password, I still have the json file but not the password.
Is there a way to change password or get into my wallet with that file?
What can I do to recover the wallet?

I don't think that there is anyway other than bruteforcing the password of the .json file.

I would say contact him: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=130960 for wallet recovery. He will charge a % but still you would be able to get something from a situation where it's hard to get it all back by yourself.

No, you can't without brute force the password.

If your password is long and you don't have any clue what it is, like totally random chars, forget it.

If you can remember part of it, a phase or something, there is a change to brute force it.

What does brute forcing the password means? How to do it? I might remember some part of it, or at least I can guess some, but what is the procedure?
Is it saved in that .json file in an encrypted form or something?

Brute forcing is a method means that you have some script/program that will try various combinations in order to guess the password and get a file unlocked or login to an account etc. it just needs to know when to stop if and when it finds the right combination.

So basically if you have/know some part of your password for instance you are sure theres no special characters (! @ , . / etc.) and you know only certain numbers or words.... this simply makes it easier for brute forcing method as you specify what combinations you want to try to crack your password which can lower the amount of time needed.

From the word itself bruteforce you are forcing to know the password by all means either using some 3rd-party services or whatsoever but I would say json file is encrypted but that password that you have set out in the very beginning while you are still making up your mew wallet which means the only thing you can do now is to remember the possible combinations and try out to remember it.

Forcing to know your password in such ways through some recovery services or programs created for it. As encrypted form that will be more of a challenge to recover your password, if you can't remember your password try to look for people who are offering such service like this one..

I would say contact him: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=130960 for wallet recovery.
Good luck to your recovery, by the way how many tokens and ETH you hold on that wallet?

If you forgot your password, you need to retrieve by your private key that is the most important thing.

He wont ask such thing if he had the private key yet those are the main option on accessing MEW wallet either on Private keys or on JSON file.

Its none of your business on how many tokens is inside on that wallet and it seems you haven't read the OP yet as being said he forgot the password of the json file where its hard to bruteforce if you do completely forgot password hints and as suggested above there are some recovery services but it wont still give you guarantees and since this issue is from January we don't know if op did able to recover those funds back or not.

It is best to use the JOHNSON code to open your wallet and transfer all to each new wallet

MyEtherWallet uses a private key to access user account, I do not think if you really remember a password. Just a suggestion, you can keep the private key and passwords you created well and store them in various places.

No, create the new wallet now. MEW password lost means no way to login in it by Json file. If you have the private key, you can join by this way but it is the risk way to use. Please careful

Unfortunately, you should enter and withdraw the token in a new wallet and be careful

Just try to remember the password you put with the JSON file... You can try also to open your wallet with the private key they provided you when you created your MEW Wallet, I think you have save if somewhere... If you open it... Try to transfer it to your new wallet...

I am very sad when i see this kind of moment, you will never recover your password, it is your responsibility to store in secure and easy to find place, it is not like gmail and yahoo in which you can click forgot password. I hope you dont have much coin and must serve a lesson.
