BACKUP ENCRYPTION

HOW CAN I REMOVE MY BACKUP ENCRYPTION PASSWORD?

CAN I JUST SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER SIGNED UP FOR A BACKUP ENCRYPTION AND IT IS THE MOST BULLSHIT THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IN MY LIFE. I AM VERY VERY UPSET.

iPhone X, iOS 12

You don't remove it.

If you encrypted your backup and now can't remember the password, the backup is gone and can't be used.

When you turned on encryption you were warned about this.
