backup password

I never created a password for my backup on iTunes nor have I ever encrypted anything, yet it continues to ask me for a password to unlock my backup...what do I do? what password could it possible be asking for?

See especially “See if your backups are encrypted” here.

Note also the sentence starting with “There is no way to recover your information...”.
