Old Macbook has 3 ETH in MetaMask – forgot password, any way to recover?

First thing you guys will think is I stole some random laptop but I am happy to prove I own the address that sent the funds into the wallet in the first place.

I know this is a longshot but is there any way to extract the privkey from the hard drive? At this point, I don't care if I have to tear apart the 2013 Macbook Pro…

Any help would be much appreciated, you guys aren't Bitcoiners so please save the yOu'Re ScReWeD posts, this happens to the best of us. Thanks!
