Hi kalli,
As Jerermy pointed out, the library used in TW is designed to use "strong" 
encryption. ... So it depends on the value of the content, that you 
"forgot" :) if it makes sense to "crack" it.

 - Since you did the password, you probably know, how many characters you 
used. Even a range may be of advantage.
 - You also should know what type of characters you used. eg: a..z, 0..9. 
Wich would  be a weak password. If you used (as recomended) "special chars" 
eg: $_-öä... and upper lower case combinations. It would be harder.
 - If your password is short, it would be easier to find it with a "brute 
force attack" ... So you probably can't attack the encryption mechanism, 
but the password  ;) by simply throwing computing power at it.

.. but if your password is "strong and long" it's probably not worth it, 
because it takes too much time.

have fun!
