I understand that you have your backup file encrypted and protected with a password. You have forgotten the password. Unfortunately, there is no way to restore from that backup file without the actual password. You do get unlimited guesses/tries to enter the right password. For more information visit 👉 If you can’t remember the password to your encrypted backup.
