Hello,
I was trying to do a routine backup of my Macbook using an external HD but it seems the last time I did the back up, I encrypted it with a password that I somehow forgot to save. I am getting this password prompt; how can I get in or alternatively, how can I reformat the disk and create a new backup? Any help appreciated, thanks!

Unfortunately there is no cure for forgotten passwords from backup disks.
You can erase it and start new backup: How to erase a disk for Mac - Apple Support - check the bottom of the page ("Are you preparing a Time Machine backup disk or bootable installer?")
Then create a new backup: Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support

Forgot my password for the backup disk!
