Forgot password, and it has a pretty significant sum (for me at least, around .85 BTC worth). I'm willing to offer 15% of it as a bounty to anyone that could assist me in recovering the password. PM me if more details are needed.

Two solutions:
-You have the seeds. Then you don't really need us and you wouldn't post here as you're not new I guess.
-You don't have the seeds, then only bruteforce will work (from what I know).

For bruteforce the important part will be "how much do your remember". Approximative passwords? Length? Some characters? Vague idea?
It can goes really quick for example if you know that the password is "something like alex89/" but if you don't have much data it will be nearly impossible.

Sorry then because I lost 0.3BTC like this so I feel you --'

I only have the backups in the my keystore file. So no seed :p.
I contacted wallet recovery services and seeing if they can help me out.

Well then I suppose you can say goodbye to your money ^^'
If I remember correctly no good wallet would let you get back your funds without the seeds!

Have you considered using a script like this for example: https://github.com/lexansoft/ethcracker

That is a good tip. OP would need lots of processing power for cracking it tho. Afaik, that program is for bruteforcing.

OP can probably give an idea on what the password may be which would drastically reduce the required attempts.

Do you have the seed? If yes this enough to recover your coins if you delete your wallet download it again and choose a new password.
check the electrum faq page for more details http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html

I'll check, I don't think I do.
