You didn't write down your master password?  Even as single letters 
scattered
around a sheet of random scratchings?  Or as a mnemonic?  A piece of paper
you carry in your wallet?  Stored it in an entirely different context 
such as
your toolbox or in a book.  Too bad.

This is a little off the wall, but you don't have to use a brute force 
attack.  Your
subconscious knows the password.  So you can ask your subconscious
to let you remember it.  Say something like "I wonder how quickly and easily
I can remember the master password?" over and over to yourself, and it 
should
just pop into your head when you aren't expecting it. 

Another option is to use self hypnosis or go to a hypnotist and have them
hypnotize you so you can 'remember' it.

If you can get out of your way while you are typing the password, your 
'muscle
memory' might just type it for you.  This is another way to access your 
subconscious.
