Backup encryption password

I had trouble this morning and had to restore my iphone 12 pro max to factory settings. When i got home, i wanted to restore a backup, but it does not let me due to incorrect encryption password. I tried all written down and memorised passwords and none of them works. Any help? Is there a way to restore as all bankings, investments, etc was on this phone and backup... Thanks for help.

Unless you can remember the password which you may have set years ago the backup is inaccessible. That is the function of it.
