I made a backup, unfortunately it was encrypted, and I don't remember the password.
And I reset the phone.
Now I have a backup inside the PC.
And I don't have access to it.
I tried to remember the password and so far without success.
Is there another option?
Thanks

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. See About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support for details.

Been trying passwords for a few hours now.
Doesn't Apple have the option to unlock it, maybe at service centers?
No. There is no backdoor.
