You will need the decryption key file. You can find it on your phone in the WhatsApp backup directory as `WhatsApp/Databases/.nomedia`, or, if you have root access, `/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key`.
Place the decryption key file (key) and the encrypted WhatsApp Backup (msgstore.db.crypt14) in the working directory. If you also want the name of your contacts, get the contact database, which is called wa.db. And copy the WhatsApp (Media) directory from your phone directly.
