If you only know it is 20 characters for example you will never crack it. But if you know it started with a certain word but then had 5 characters consisting of lowercase and numbers you can succeed.

Thanks for the reply DanielG. The password couldn't have been composed of special characters. As I remember I haven't used anything like that during those years. The best scenario is that I used both upper and lower case letters and a few numbers in the end. I'm not sure if this is allowed to divulge here, but I used one 136MB password file, and a 13GB one I found while doing what 'research' I can. The password I used was not included. 

I've been simulating creating another truecrypt container to find out what specific method I could have used and my best bet is mode 6213.
