    Hello cerk_12,

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 

     

    I see you have forgotten the password for your encrypted iTunes backup. Unfortunately, there is no recovering that password if has been forgotten. From the About encrypted backups in iTunes support article:

    There is no way to recover your information or turn off Encrypt Backup if you lose or forget the password.

     

    Regards.
