1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
2. The Universe began to exist.
3. Therefore, the Universe has a cause.
Figure out what #3 is before you wonder what preceded it.

Psalm 149:5-9
Some force, God, a higher being, or whatever.
Whatever created time and space (the universe), has to have existed outside of this paradigm. Meaning it had neither a beginning nor a space
The human mind is not built to comprehend the all awesomeness of God (the highest power that higher than high and has no limitation). It will completely overwhelm us if even 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of what God knows were to revealed to us. More than likely we would faint and die upon the knowledge being revealed to us, no way our brain would be able to compute. Which is why it also fun to be human because we are the only creation that desires to want to know more and find out. It makes living more interesting. This question is as much a scientific question as it is a spiritual one.

Are you using cause in the physics sense or as a substitute for "a reason"?

# 3 is 'Why?', not 'How?' We pretty much have the 'How?' down to within a few milliseconds.

I see. Are we talking about this observable universe or all of existence? It's equally possible I think that there may not be a "why" for this universe, only a "how" and the "why" might apply to existence. The opposite could be true as well: existence has no "why" but this universe does.
