Encrypt Backup Password Problem

I checked the option to encrpyt the back up using a password. Any password I try cannot be used - I've tried my itunes password and a variety of others - I just keep getting a message saying the password cannot be set. It worked fine until a couple of days ago. Any ideas?

Thank you for your help !!! the password IS the 4-DIGIT passkey, Apple should append description on the Itunes when they request for the encryption password.
