I remember that my password is 12 characters long and contains special chars, is it possible to recover it?

Not in this life. You can calculate the total number of passwords (AOPR should try) using the simple formula: it is just the total number of characters in the character set (26 for small letters, 26 for capital letters, 10 for digits, and 33 for special chars) in a power of password length. So, even if the password contains just small and capital letters, and the length is 12, the total is 52^12 = 390,877,006,486,250,192,896. Even if AOPR will be able to test a million passwords per second (actual speed is lower), it would take more than twelve million years to find the correct one. Well, if you're lucky enough -- just six million years ;) Fortunately, another solution exists.
