forgot encrypted password

I need to restore a previous backup, but I forgot the encrypted password. How can I recover this backup without my password? Don't tell me to Reset, that doesn't solve the problem.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Without the password, you can only do backups.

To restore you need the password, there is no work around or bypass.
