Or, OP might be able to remember a word or two from the seed which will greatly help in brute-forcing.
you need a lot more than a word or two to brute force the seed. there are way too many possibilities.

brute forcing only works if you have *some* idea what the password is. otherwise it's a crapshoot.

btcrecover is commonly used for brute force attacks

I installed electrum , it has not asked me for the password it has not shown me the seed.
I think that, this has happened because probably the electum wallet during the new installation has recovered data from an old installation.
Unfortunately I have not been paying attention to this, the wallet was activated immediately and i send bitcoin to it from a bitcoin core wallet. ,...... Now my bitcoin are in the electrum wallet installed on my PC and I do not have the password and seed.
how can I recover the bitcoins? People say that, those bitcoin are lost but I can't belive it !! ....they are in my wallet installed in my pc.......
Can you help me please !!

Go to wallet menu > seed. Tell us what happens when you do this.
When you first install Electrum and run it for the first time it checks the wallet default location which is C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets on windows and if it can find a wallet then starts using it. From what you said I think Electrum has found a wallet there, probably from your last install and started using it.
If that wallet is password protected, the only way you can access your funds is knowing the password or remembering the seed you had the first time you installed that wallet.
There is also an option to brute force the password and try cracking it but that requires you to know at least something about the password.
For example know that it is 10 letters with a name "Termo" and number "462" in it. If you know nothing about the password, then nothing can be done.
