To be honest - WRITE the passwords down somewhere safe.
OR use a set of passwords and only that set so you just have to try the
one at a time.

I use about a dozen passwords.  If I need to create one that is not part
of my set of passwords, I write it down on a card and stick it in a
"safe place".  That way if I do not remember what it is, I just pull out
the "cards" and find the document name and read the password written
there.  I know a lot of businesses that use a locked desk drawer to hold
things like door access codes and passwords.
