It is asking for the Apple ID password for the Apple ID signed in on the phone.

Most likely this is the one you are using in the iTunes Store.

Which ever password you had on the phone when you backed it up.

If it's an encrypted iTunes backup, it's asking for the password you used to set up encrypted backups...
