What BTCrecover can using bruteforce or wordlist only?? I try install but always error when open with python 3. is there tutorial install or setup with true?? because my python can't install pip. I confused.
Check for Python installation guide: https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALL/I also followed the guide from the BTCrecover website, but my python 3 is not working properly. typing pip for install not found.

You need the password to spend from the wallet. I mean your old password.
Maybe BTCrecover can be helpful. It will be helpful if your password is 5 characters or less, or the characters you forget is not more than 5.

Did you say that you can open the wallet without the password? With the Electrum file, as far as I know, you can not even open the file if it's password protected.
In electrum, you can choose to not encrypt the wallet file and only encrypt your secrets. In this way, you can open your wallet, check your balance and transaction history without any need to enter a passworda and you will be asked for your password whenever you want to make a transaction. To do so, you must uncheck "Encrypt wallet file" when choosing your password.
Wallet is mine I just dont remember password hahahaha
Electrum wallet files can be bruteforced with BTCRecover, in exception to imported wallet with secrets-only encryption.If it's fully encrypted (wont open without a password), then it may be compatible.
The thing is, you need to provide "tokens" that you think is part of the password.
Without any idea on the possible password or at least a significant part of it, the chance to successfully bruteforce it is extremely low to none.
If you're good at following instructions, its documentation already has the necessary steps on how to set it up.

Without seed you have only the watch only wallet. You can not spend the coin.
I think it is an encrypted Electrum file that its seed phrase and password are encrypted, so he needs the password to be able to spend on the wallet as the file contains the seed phrase and password, but encrypted.Wallet is mine I just dont remember password hahahaha
I got it. It's just there are many people who ask help and later we learn that the files were bought or received it some how illegal way.Did you say that you can open the wallet without the password? With the Electrum file, as far as I know, you can not even open the file if it's password protected. I will suggest the same as hosseinimr93, your best shot is to brute-force the password.
Wallet is mine I just dont remember password hahahaha
Didn't you back up your seed phrase and password when you created the wallet? If you can get to either of them you'll be able to spend the funds in the wallet. It is a must to back up the seed phrase to your funds in more than one secure location, that way you will eliminate an event of a single point of failure and always have access to your funds. If the password you used is something you can remember, take your time and keep trying, you may get it. Without seed you have only the watch only wallet. You can not spend the coin.
I think it is an encrypted Electrum file that its seed phrase and password are encrypted, so he needs the password to be able to spend on the wallet as the file contains the seed phrase and password, but encrypted.One of the best way is to backup seed phrase which can be used instead to access your coins easily.

Yeah sorry my bad its not wallet.dat its just default_wallet file
So, it's electrum wallet file and since you don't have the seed phrase, you must know the password to be able to spend fund from your wallet. If the password is simple and you have some idea about that, you may be able to brute-force the password. If you haven't created the wallet yourself and you have purchased that, you have been scammed and I recommend you to not waste your time.
So basically only thing I have is wallet.dat folder without seed or password
Without seed you have only the watch only wallet. You can not spend the coin. There are people online most likely scammers, they sell wallet files in exchange of bitcoin I don't know how lucrative the business is but may be it works to trick people and they make money from it or we would not see them to invest their time in it.How did you get the file?
