Hey, I'm new to this and need some advice. I have a 7z and want to get the p/w which I forgot. It may have had numbers, letters, caps, other characters !${] and the like.  What is the best approach?

Hi,
depends if you know all possible characters you have used. If so, you can try hashcat/src/combipow  Check the hashcat wiki.

You can pipe the output directly into hashcat.

But maybe we should start different:

Do you know how long your password is?
Can you list all possible characters which have been used?
Do you the encoding / your language settings?
Can you surely place known characters on specific position of the password?

Kind regards
