forgot encrypted password

I need to restore a previous backup, but I forgot the encrypted password. How can I recover this backup without my password? Don't tell me to Reset, that doesn't solve the problem.

Without the password, you can only do backups.

To restore you need the password, there is no work around or bypass.
