Check your web browser autofill entries, the Keychain or Passwords application, and other records, or use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team.
All of these services, and if needed, creating a new Apple Account, are free. Recovering the original password from Apple's servers isn't possible, even for money; it's been run through a one-way encryption algorithm.

First: There are no charges for an Apple Account.
Any one who states that there is one, is either simply mistaken, or running a scam.
As for recovering your Apple Account, see this comprehensive guide:
