Summary
A vow fast becomes obligatory to fulfil once the wish that was vowed is granted. A person who has forgotten the count should recall, with certainty, the minimum number of days already fasted. They then continue fasting without doubt until the vowed number is complete.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
