A tutorial on how to use BTCRecover to recover your wallet password from a blockchain.com (previously blockchain.info) wallet, both the main wallet password and the second password.
Once you regain access to your wallet, do yourself a favor, keep all your crypto safe & upgrade to a Ledger Nano X Hardware Wallet https://shop.ledger.com/pages/ledger-nano-x?r=5243ecbb8427
Alternatively, if you prefer a 100% Open Source wallet, a Trezor One is also a great value wallet https://shop.trezor.io/product/trezor-one-white?offer_id=14&aff_id=2922&source=YouTube

———————
If you are new to Crypto, my suggestion is that you start with buying ~$150 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin @ Coinbase and get familiar with storing it, moving it around, etc.
For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase: https://www.coinbase.com/join/5691c9d0a4c3a05dfa000151
For Trading, just start with Binance: https://www.binance.com/?ref=18111926
By sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange. (You would be surprised how many people fall into this trap)
Don’t have a hardware wallet?
Be safe and buy them direct from the manufacturer. (Not just through some random on eBay, Amazon, etc)
Get a Ledger: https://shop.ledger.com?r=5243ecbb8427
(If you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)
