There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

As far as I know there is nothing you can do, except try to remember the password.

#1 write down what you think the passwors ia and copy pasta it into the mask, might be something with your keyboard settings
#2 write down several combinations of your password with your usual typos (e.g. just type fast without thinking about the keys)
#3 find the seed / hire someone to write a bruteforceattack for you specific passwords. A general attack will not work unless you have a very bad password. There are threads for that. They usually refer to bitcoin core, but reading them can give you a hint who to contact and what they will need and what not. If you used the same or a similar password elsewhere, change them all.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

You can always just 'restore' your wallet from your 12 word seed.  Encrypt it or not, with a new password.  You'd probably want to back up your old wallet just to be super safe. 

Don't tip me... tip the Riseup folks who protect activists around the world.

If shorena's good advice doesn't work, and if you want to try to brute-force the password yourself (assuming you know mostly what it is), you can give btcrecover a try: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover. It's an open-source recovery tool that's compatible with Electrum wallets. The Quick Start is here: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md

Feel free to ask any questions, and good luck...
