You may have forgotten that you had entered a password. --> About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch ...


Look for it in iCloud Keychain.


Did you un-check keychain while creating the encrypted password (By default it is checked) See the pic below.




If you had un-checked then the only option that you have is, keep trying various passwords as there is no limit on number of attempts.
