Not that I know of, but you get an unlimited number of tries. Keep guessing! You may want to see the "If you can’t remember the password for your encrypted backup" section in:

About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

but I doubt it will help you much.

One thing to note and that is when I created an encrypted back with my MacBook Pro and Catalina, I was prompted to enter a password AND given an option on have that password in the Keychain. I chose that option and confirmed that the password is listed under the key "iOS Backup". I know that the OP is on PC (Windows I believe) and may not have given an option to save that password somewhere in the OS. Just thought that I'd mention this. Thanks.
