If you have created an encrypted back up file on your computer and have forgotten the password, then you will have to either remember it or continue trying (guessing) until you get it. You get unlimited guesses for password in this case.

If you have created a backup file on iCloud, then all iCloud backups are encrypted as well. What you will need is to sign in on our iPhone with the correct Apple ID and its Password associated with that backup.
