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?

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?

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.

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.

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

I would say contact him: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/walletrecoveryservices-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.
