Sorry, but you will need think real hard to see if you can remember the password that you used for the backup. You will not be able to access the backup unless you can enter the correct password.
On the plus side, you get an unlimited number of tries to enter the correct password.

See Disable iOS backup encryption - Apple Community. In particular:
If you have forgotten the password, or were not aware that encryption had been enabled, consider that it might be any computer, Apple ID, Wi-Fi password or device PIN that you've used in the past, working from the assumption that you might have reused a common password that you were using when encryption was first activated. See About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support for details.

We have already explained that you will need to enter the correct password to access the backups.
If you have forgotten the correct password, you cannot use the backup. Sorry, but there are no workarounds.
Here is your only option if you can't remember the iTunes encrypted password or can't use the iCloud backup:
