how to recover password or reset to recover backup
Without the backup passcode the only option is to restore the phone and set it up as New. You get unlimited guesses for the passcode, so you might try a bunch of passcodes that you have used in the past. And to speed up the process just uncheck "encrypt backup" in iTunes and you will be prompted immediately for the passcode.
Elcomsoft makes an iPhone backup password cracker that will work if you are not in the habit of using strong passwords. It is targeted for law enforcement use, and priced accordingly. However, they have a trial version that will give you the first 2 characters.

how do i get the encrypt iphone backup password??
Tips here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your backup data is unrecoverable.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups, & restore your phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices. -

HT4946 how to find out my iphone backup password
how do i find out my iphone backup password?
If you created a backup in iTunes that includes a password, unless you created a separate password, and you would know this if you did, your backup password is generally your iTunes account password (your Apple ID password). Try that.

I forgot my encrypt iPhone backup password
I lost my password to the encrypt iPhone backup. How do I reset it? I don't need to restore my phone, but I would like to be able to access my future backups in case something happens to my iPhone 4s. How do I reset it and if I can't reset it, what do I do next to make sure all my data is saved?
Hello AjaxTheCat,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the other possible passwords listed in the previous article did not work. I would recommend that you read this article.
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

i forgot my backup password of my iPhone. i use windows in my computer
Sorry, did not pay attention and missed the "backup password" part

Basically, you can continue to sync and backup, but you will not be able to restore any data from the encrypted backup without the password. All you can do is restore the device as new and start fresh. -

Where can I find my iphone backup password?
Where ever you put it. Though, writing down a password is very poor security practice. If you don't have a record of it, there's no way to recover it.
