It would help if you said which password you've forgot?

Is it your administrator password?

Assumption. If the password is for your email account, then you should have set up a different mail account to receive such a message. Recently some of the web based services have insisted on a 'back-up' email account for just such a eventuality.

If the email service tells you that a recovery password has been sent to your secondary email address, then you probably specified one back then (Of course this depends how sophisticated the programming is, but my experience with the major email providers is that there recovery process is pretty complete).

If you do have another email account but no email shows up, check your SPAM filter there.

If another person helped you setup your email account maybe this person specified his/her email address.

First buy a little black book to store important things in - then don't loose it.

Generally it take two major looses of important data/email/part written book etc. for people to make the effort to store data they consider important or learn how to back up their data.
