I might have done encrypted backup long time ago which I forgot until the system reminded me of the password yesterday when I thought and tried to do an encrypted backup. I don't need to restore right away but do it one day whenever I'd upgrade my Iphone5. Thanks!

I thought Fazil merely wanted to make an encrypted backup not restore from an existing backup? If you want to make an encrypted backup and the computer asks for a password, this is because you have to invent a password to protect your encrypted backup from a device the first time you do one. Just make sure you will be able to remember the password in case in the future you want to restore a device from that backup!
