    If you chose to encrypt the backup within iTunes, there is nothing that you can do if you forgot the password. The whole point of an encrypted backup is so that you are the only one that can use it. There isn't an option for a forgotten password or hints as to what you may have used.

    You can't remove the password once you chose to encrypted the backup.

    You have to input the right password to unlock the password. The good news is that there is no limitations on tryout, meaning you can try as many as possible. However, if you used all the possible password combination, then it's almost in vain to do it yourself. From a google search, you can find a lot of itunes password recovery tools, and this itunes password recover tutorial seems the best among its user reviews. There is no loss to try it out.

    It seems there is no other way to unlock iTunes backup unless this iTunes password recovery, I will try it and thanks!
