hi. I forgot my I Tunes backup password, i can't transfer my backup to my iphone ..what can i do?

You can't use the backup if you don't know the encryption.

As the following article states:

"If you forget your password, the only way to turn off backup encryption on your device is to erase your device and set up as new.  Erasing removes all data from your device."

So as razmee209 states, not only can you not use the backup if you forgot the password, but you also will not be able to back up the device until you erase it.

The best thing you can do if you cannot remember the password is erase the device and start over.
