The use of present perfect ("have forgotten") is not correct in this sentence. The present perfect is used to situate past events, or the consequences of past events, in relation to the present situations. In this sentence, we should use the past perfect ("had forgotten"), which is normally only used when one past event (either a specific action, or a continuous condition) has to be situated in a more distant past than another past event.
