Is this an encrypted backup for a device running iOS 11? If so, you can reset your Encryption password without having to erase your phone:
If you can’t remember the password for your encrypted backup
You can’t restore an encrypted backup without its password. With iOS 11 or later, you can make a new encrypted backup of your device by resetting the password. Here’s what to do:
You won't be able to use previous encrypted backups, but you can back up your current data using iTunes and setting a new backup password.
Turn off iTunes backup encryption
To turn off iTunes backup encryption, uncheck the Encrypted backup box in iTunes and enter the password.

If you back up to iCloud, your backup is automatically encrypted and you don't need a passcode to use it.

If you had read the information I posted for you carefully, you would have seen that it addresses that question:
You won't be able to use previous encrypted backups, but you can back up your current data using iTunes and setting a new backup password.

If you can't remember the backup password and you aren't syncing the data with iCloud, you will lose all the data because you won't be able to restore the backup.
