tried it still incorrect
Yes. If you’re asked for an administrator name and password on Mac - Apple Support explains the Administrator name/password.
Manage passwords using keychains on Mac - Apple Support provides some advice regarding the use of Keychain Access.
After opening Keychain Access, you will see window similar to this one:
After searching for iOS Backup, double click on the iOS Backup selection.
Next you will see this window:
Click on "Show password," and you will see a dialog , where you will be allowed to enter the Administrator password:
Click "Allow," and you should then be able to view the password for iOS Backup.
See the "If you can’t remember the password for your encrypted backup" section in:
About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

so i found this iOS Backup on keychain and when i double click it there's section called Account and the account look's exact like backup folder's name. when i show the password and insert it to restore backup it said incorrect password
I found my password using Keychain Access, and an iOS Backup search of the "Password" Category.
Have you tried to use your "Administrator" Password?
You don't.
If you can't remember it, you can't restore the data from that backup.
the problem is i already factory reset my phone and i want to restore it
no my keychain didn't ask administrator password
Forgot iPhone Backup Encrypt Password
