New phone set up

Hi I'm attempting to set up my new iphone 11 from my old phones backup. Its asking me for a password for the encrypted back up that I can't remember. Is there a way to change the password or transfer my old phone's data to the new one without it?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

I can't restore an encrypted backup from my laptop to a new iPhone Why did it encrypt and how can I change the password so that I can restore the data onto the new phone? I no longer have the old phone. When completing the back-up it never asked for a password.
