How difficult is this password exactly? Is it totally random? What set of characters have you used? Do you remember anything about this password? E.g. it's length, internal structure (how many letters or digits and where) and so on. JtR has mask mode and if you narrow it down, maybe it'll be faster then incremental. Also, incremental mode uses different char-sets, so if you know that there were e.g. only digits and letters, then "alnum" will be a lot faster than ascii char-set. Moreover, besides --max-length JtR has --min-length option, so if you remember that your password is longer than e.g. 4 characters, then use --min-length=5 and you will not waste time for passwords that are shorter (less difficult) and incorrect.
