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...

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.

#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.

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