    Assuming you're talking about a Microsoft account then you'll need to reset the password.

    So I can't just recover it?

    You can "recover" an account but you can't recover a password that you've forgotten.

    If you ever used outlook.com your password may be saved in the browser (but obviously depends whether you save your passwords used in browser or not.)
    In Edge they're here  edge://settings/passwords
    In Chrome they're chrome://settings/passwords
