You need to provide the plain text (non-encrypted) password in order to restore the database.
E.g. when you back up a database or set up a backup job using the GUI, it encrypts the password you entered so that anyone looking at the script will not know the plain-text password.
If SQL Backup allowed users to restore the database using the same encrypted value, it defeats the purpose of encrypting the password. Thus, you need to know the plain text password to restore the database.
