Q: lost password to iPhone backup

many times took a backup and changed my phone but it never asked for the encryption password but suddenly when shifted from ios9 to ios10, it is asking for the password. Never ever set it, tried all the password which i can ever imagine to use but not able to fix the problem. All important data and pictures of my Family are there.

Need an urgent Support.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.0.2

    If you can't remember the password for the backup, the backup is useless. There is no way to bypass it. If you have a corporate Exchange account set up on your phone, the administrators have the ability to force encrypted backups. Try using the password for your Exchange account.
