For this forgotten password problem, there is actually only one solution, namely by resetting the password.
To reset your own password, there are several options, such as a cell phone number, recovery email, answering questions from Google, answering security questions, and even contacting the Google support team.

Check if you’ve ever logged in to a certain browser and maybe have saved your Gmail password in that browser. Those who have many devices (cell phones, laptops, PCs, etc.), usually, will never log in and save the password in one of the browsers on the device.
