Rusty, all I can tell you is the first time I did an encrypted iPhone backup on my computer using iTunes, I had to give it a password. When I did later encrypted backups, no password was requested so I assume it used that original one. Hopefully this will jog your memory and you can pull up that password. Good luck.
