I backed up my iPhone to the computer and checked encrypt password. It did not ask me for a password. Now it wants a password to restore. I tried my Apple password, my phone's passcode, nothing works. Any suggestions?

I backed up my iPhone 4S to iTunes. Unfortunately I checked encrypt password. It never asked me for a password. How do I restore the phone from iTunes when it requires a password I never gave it? It won't let me change the password because I don't know the so called old password.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4
