Passwords can't be recovered.  They can be reset 
<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860>, but doing so abandons every 
subsidiary password stored in your keychain (websites, banks, etc.) unless and 
until you remember what the password was before you reset it.  So take the time 
to try a few permutations before going for the silver bullet.
