Hi OwusuAgyemangJacobson,


Are you referring to an encrypted backup of your device? If you've forgotten your encrypted backup password, you wouldn't be able to use that backup. You would still be able to use your Apple ID without issue, only the content in the backup would be lost. See more about that here: About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Thanks
