If you have an old Copay [non-custodial](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/81240/13866) wallet app, and have forgotten it's password, and did not make unencrypted backups, and did not write down a recovery phrase or equivalent, it is probable that the only hope is to use a brute-force guessing tool like BTCrecover (not an endorsement) along with anything you can recall about the length, composition and structure of the "PIN".

Remember that the most important job of the app is to keep out people who don't know the "PIN".
