Hi Nonononono500,


In order to turn off the Encrypted Backup setting, yes, you'll need the password.

Turn off backup encryption
To turn off backup encryption, uncheck the Encrypt local backup checkbox in the Finder or iTunes and enter the password. If you can't remember your password, you have two options:
* Use iCloud to back up and restore.
* Reset your backup password.


Take care!
