If you remember something about your password, like it starts with abc and is followed by three digits, you can iterate through all possibilities to see if anyone matches. If you don't remember anything, you are out of luck.

I have created some possible combination of words using gpt, how can i use it on the text field of SecureFS. I have Microsoft installed Version, can i use something like, installing github release version and then try doing something from terminal .. something like that

I have Microsoft installed Version,

I'm curious, what is "Microsoft installed Version" in your words. But the version shouldn't make any difference.

try doing something from terminal .. something like that

Do you know anything about programming? Just write a for-loop to iterate over all possibilities, and try mount with securefs.
