Help restore iPhone Backup passcode issue

Need help restoring data to iPhone 7 after updating via computer. Data was backed up but no option to enter a passcode was offered. Now I'm being asked to provide a passcode. I tried Apple ID Passcode, iPhone passcode and computer passcode. None work. Now what?

iPhone

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Seems you made the backups encrypted at some point


See:

About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


You need to remember the password used or you will not be able to restore that backup


Good luck!
