but u can use some software to help u find your passwords because u should remember some feature of your passwords and this make the it not too difficult.
Do you mean something like hashcat or btcrecover? AFAIK, it still difficult to find password, you should remember at least some word from your password and create a password list, and that's not easy and really difficult(except, the password has easy pattern, such as 123456 or etc).
For now you are entitled to safeguard your bitcoin wallets yourself. You can make sure that you store your private keys on a different offline system. Make more use of cold wallets if you have larger funds, and it's better storing away there. Write your keys on a paper and keep it carefully where it won't be touched by water.
What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?

There are so many characters in the private key that are harder to memorize than we do to get a paper to write it down because this way we do not rob us of who we just keep and hide well. If we ever lose our private key we will not be able to return our funds again.
If someone loses or forgets the key or password of the wallet where his bitcoin or altcoin is stored it is the same as losing everything. All the coins in the wallet will certainly not be saved or taken back.
Be careful(
If it is happened to me that I forgot my wallet password I ask a permission to BM that I change my password. and if will change, next time I will write a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place or put in a hard wallet so that it is easy to remember.

If you have forgotten or lost your keys you can immediately forget about their coins. There is no way to recover keys. At the moment, about 2.3 million bitcoins are irretrievably lost. I've heard that the developers wanted to extract such coins in favor of community development but I don't believe in that. Bitcoin does not forgive mistakes. I have kept my private keys in written form in my personal diary its the safest way to keep your private keys. Saving in Computer or laptop is risky because if it gets damaged you will lose all so best if to keep your private keys in written form.
I dont put it in diary but I wrote them on a paper that has been attached on my personal files such as Last Will and testaments,from this security and safety is what im having,at the same time in case of disaster and unexpected death,my love ones can take alook on those papers to have my all funds
it means, that person lost his Bitcoins forever.
The password is used to unlock your Bitcoin wallet address. If you forget the password, you cannot trade these BTCs.
It is no longer possible to enter the circulation field, which means that you have lost your BTC!

Thats it wallet will be idle and fund will be there in that wallet for all the time. If you keep such kind of amount without accessing it you may loose the fund but wallets will not do that it will be remain there all the time.
We may do some work in next blockchain update for recovering and more security features to use it.

If anyone forgets the private key of his bitcoin wallet,then his bitcoins would remain idle in his wallet until private keys get recovered and used.
So the best way is to both print the private key and store it safely as well as save it in a pendrive and have it in a safer place.

I have saved it to my documents and as an alternative way to retrieve if in case I've lost it i have wrote it down,taking notes on a safest place and keep it confidential.I just let some special person to know where it has been hiding.
this is a serious case because there is no alternative to private keys, the only thing u need to do is to keep your private key privately with your notepad or write it in a book and save in a good place
