Hello vineeth0077,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to look into this with you.


To clarify, did you create the backup to a computer or to iCloud? The reason we ask is because the process for recovering the password is different.


If you forgot the password for your Apple ID/iCloud account, you'll want to follow the actions provided in, If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support.


If you created the backup to a computer and used the option to encrypt it, check out If you can’t remember the password for your encrypted backup - Apple Support to review your options.


Hope this helps!


Best regards.
