Forget/remember + to + infinitive means that you remember something you have to do. - Don't forget to post this letter for me? - Remember to turn off the light when you leave the room. Forget/remember + ing means remember something you did in the past. - I'll never forget meeting you for the first time. - I'll always remember meeting you for the first time. My answer is a little simplified but I hope that you can understand.
