Lost Time Machine Encryption Password

The password for my Time Machine drive is in my keychain. But when my Mac was serviced, they installed a new logic board, so it has a new SSD. I can't unlock my Time Machine backup in order to restore the computer. Is there any way to fix this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
