Original Title: iphone backup password

This means when you made the backup you encrypted it. You either already had an encrypted backup password or you made one at that time. But once created, YOU have to remember what you used at the time. There is no way to recover something which is fully encrypted. You can guess as many times as you want, but until you enter the correct encrypted backup password, you cannot access the backup and Apple nor anyone here can help you with that.

If your backup is asking for a password and you do not remember it, you will not be able to use that backup. There is no way to recover a backup password.
