Content Backup Password Lost

[FLPylot]

Is there a way to recover a Content Store backup if the password was lost?

No. It's encrypted. Unless you have a spare thousand years to crack the encryption, you're out of luck

It's good practice to have both kinds of backups -- DB and Cognos deployment -- as each one provides advantages and flexibilities.
