Restore iPhone backup password issue

iTunes doesn’t recognize the current passwords and keeps reporting that the backup password doesn’t match. I had not given any passwords during backup.

See Disable iOS backup encryption - Apple Community. In particular:


If you have forgotten the password, or were not aware that encryption had been enabled, consider that it might be any computer, Apple ID, Wi-Fi password or device PIN that you've used in the past, working from the assumption that you might have reused a common password that you were using when encryption was first activated.
