The easiest means of recovering an unknown password is through guessing. You can actually try different combinations of words that you feel like trying until one actually works. Most times , this might not work when you are trying to recover lost password.
#2 Brute force

#3 Dictionary attack
This used a combination of pre defined words to try to access use some common words or passwords that almost everyone be already know as your password.
That is why you should not use common English words as your password.
