I have my PGP Private Key Block, but not the password to it

I have different PGP keys for different uses, and I've lost the password to one of them. I thought I recorded it and just... didn't. Is there some way to recover and reuse the PGP Private Key Block without having the password to it? I can just generate and use a new PGP Key, but I'm curious.

well..as you are the only one to know which possebilities exist, for example, the used characters, number of characters..

if it was 12 digits only, with a already decreased number of possible characters, simply bruteforce it.

Unfortunately there is no way to re-use the same public PGP key with a new password without knowing the old password.

like you can definitely change the password, but that changes the private key as well.
