Backup password

Hi. I have a problem with my backup password. I did a backup and didn't notice that the Encrypt local backup was on. And I did software for my iPhone. now I can't restore my backup because of the password. And I don't remember it or remember sitting one in the first place. I tried every password I know and didn't work.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

Then you cannot restore that backup. You can reset the passcode and have another encrypted backup if you choose to do so.
