Your best bet is to find a backup file.  If you don't use backup files
an undelete program might help find the deleted temp file.  But if you
did further work on the partition it might already be lost.
There might also be a deleted swap file that you can recover from.

If you have persistent undo enabled you can get bits of text from the
undo file.

Otherwise, guessing the password is difficult.
