Unfortunately, if you have forgotten the encryption password for your backups, you will not be able to access them. Apple does not store the password, so it cannot be retrieved.
You were looking at the About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch document for info about backups.
The key item here is #4:
When asked, make a password. Create one that you'll remember or write it down and store it safely, because there's no way to use your backup without this password.
Hopefully, you will be able to recall the password that you used.
