Unfortunately, as the Apple Support document linked above your name confirms, you won't be able to restore the current backup if you have forgotten the encryption password that you used, but you can create a new password to use with future backups.


It might be a good idea to write down that password......even though you might feel that you are sure that you will never forget it.
