I cant remember what I set a PDF password too. You would think since I'm listed as owner i could view it but I can't. Please help

There is absolutely no way that Adobe can assist you. Adobe doesn't maintain a copy of the password you chose for your PDF file. Nor is there any secret “back door” in the PDF file format that allows overriding of the password.
