../ and reading online looks like i'm screwed. i remember most of the password (and all of the phrase i used to create it), but i forgot where there is a special character or CAP in 1 or 2 places... damn it!

and this is a for a container of my personal stuff on my work lappie... bummer.:(

warning... if you are going to use special alternative characters in your passwords... write it down somewhere safe... I know that is anathema... but you are asking for trouble. Personally I don't use special characters for that very reason... I only use letters and numbers and still get very strong passwords.
 
Truecrypt's free and open source, Libs ... doesn't need a hack :) ... the encryption is AES, Serpent or Twofish.

If you can't remember it larrychang ... :(
 
Surely there must be some way to bruteforce it? If you can remember most of the password it shouldnt take too long.
