Restore the Database

Hello,
I am using SQL 2000 Server.
I've backedup one of my SQL server Database with the
password using sql statement like :
Backup database <databasename> to <devicename> with
password=''?'
But after a few months I forget the password what I have
given during backup. Now I could not restore the database
from the backup file.
1) How can I restore the Database from the backup file
without password or
2) How can I know what the password is given during backup
Thanks

I'm afraid you're out of luck. Part of backing up with a password is
keeping the password in a secure place - like the company safe - or just
remembering well.
