user70448: I've tried brute forcing it. Doesn't work. 
0.02 BTC in the wallet. 

user5757: No.  The whole point of strong encryption is that it is impossible to recover the data without the passphrase.
You can:

Keep trying to brute force (maybe with faster computers, or a better initial guess at the passphrase)
See if you have a backup of the wallet.dat file that isn't encrypted
Try really hard to remember
Give up, and resolve to be more careful with strong encryption next time.
