You did not try the easiest way. It is a linear equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation is
r4+2r2+1=(r2+1)2=0r=±i,
roots of multiplicity 2.
The solution of the homogeneous equation is
yh=C1cosx+C2sinx+C3xcosx+C4xsinx.
Lookig at the right hans side, we know that there is a particular solution of the complete equation of the form
yp=x2(Acosx+Bsinx).
A and B are found substituting yp in the equation. Its general solution is
y=yh+yp.
