Update: I hate being senile. I eventually remembered where I securely stored my password and was able to retrieve. Lucky me.

I have forgotten the password that I created for my wallet. I can, however, open my bitcoin-qt software successfully and see my transactions etc.

I know I can't recover or brute-force my password. Can I move my Bitcoins from this wallet to a new wallet (where I'll take better care of my password)? How?
