How can i find my restore backup password?

You don't "find" it.
You either remember it or you don't.

  • How do I find my restore backup password?

    I just upgraded my Iphone 3GS to the IOS5. Once the update completed it gave me the option to restore my Iphone from a previous backup done today. I chose that option and clicked continue. It then proceeded to ask me for a restore backup password which I do not have. I have never been asked for this before or set one up. I have tried everything. I tunes password, cell number, serial number etc. Nothing works! I called Apple and it says they have no one to help available. Any help please?

    If you have no passcode for the screen lock, connect your phone in recovery mode and restore, as explained in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    If you encrypted your backup before and can't remember the code for your backup, you can't use the backup and you'll have to start from the scratch.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

    How do u reset my restore backup password?

    Hello Rissey,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The encrypted backup password stays unless you want to restore the device as new.
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
    You need the backup password to disable backup encryption or to restore from an encrypted backup.
    You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
    Leaving the password field blank
    Your Apple ID password
    Your computer account password, if you have one
    Email passwords you may have used
    Your Wi-Fi network password
    Website passwords you may have used
    A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • HT201240 how can I find the su - root password on my mac?

    how can I find the su - root password on my mac?

    Chances are you could have also done
    sudo su -
    which would now make you 'root' until you exit.  You could do all your setup running as root.
    Very few if anything actually needs the root password to use root privileges, and having a system where root cannot be directly logged into, is a safer system.

    If you have only one account, then your admin password is your user password. If you use another account that is not an admin account, then log into your admin account from which you can change the password on your user account.

  • Can't find my iphone backup password

    Where can I find my iphone backup password?

    Where ever you put it. Though, writing down a password is very poor security practice. If you don't have a record of it, there's no way to recover it.

  • TS4036 How can I find my old backups?

    i need help finding my backups. when i try to restore my ipod it only brings the recent ones, which i dont want. Can Anyone help me?

    If you are signed into the same iCloud account that you backed up to, and don't see the backup in your account I don't know how it could have been deleted without any action on your part.  You could try changing the name of your iPad back to the way it was by going to Settings>General>About>Name, but I doubt that would make any difference.
    Assuming your iCloud backup isn't there, your only backup option would be on your computer, if you ever backed it up using iTunes.  You can check by opening iTunes and going to iTunes>Settings>Devices (Mac) or Edit>Settings>Devices (PC) and checking the backups list.  If you see one, you could restore it to your iPad by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore Backup.
    Without a backup, you can still sync any media in your iTunes library to your iPad.  You can also redownload your apps and other purchased media from iCloud if it isn't in your iTunes library, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  Also, when you sign into your iCloud account, any synced data from icloud.com should download to your iPad.

  • By mistake I have changed the password using iChain but the website still utilises the old password that iChain originally created. How can I find out the original password that was created?

    I created a password using iChain whilst on a website where I have an account. For some reason, I needed to change the password and it seems that the website can only be accessed using the original chain password. I do not have a record of it and it is not in my iChain password list. Can I find what historical passwords were used?

    i am also have the same thing how can i get they out from my game center ?

  • How can I find my restored photos from trash?

    I went into my trash and selected a number of photos then clicked restore photos to library.  Now I can't find the photos anywhere...I've looked throughout my events and all my other folders.  Where are they?????

    I assume that you are talking about the iPhoto trash? If so then they should be returned to the event they were in prior to being moved to the iPhoto trash

  • How can I find an older backup of my iPhone?

    Please help I have  iPhone 4.  Today I decided to install iOS 7.0.2 by plugging it into my computer, since I was having soo may problems with iOS7.  Anyways I had backed up my iPhone to my account on my computer previously and it showed all my apps, etc.  When I went to update the software it asked if I wanted to back it up I of course clicked yes it looked like it was backing up just fine, but then it gave me an error 6 that said it could not restore my phone.  After going through all the trouble shooting tips the last one was to restart my computer I did.  And when the computer turned back on it said I had to restore phone to factory setting then log into my iTunes account since my phone had not been backed up in 16 weeks.  Now I don't know how long ago I backed it up last but I know it was sooner than 16 weeks.  Any ways I then restored the back up to my phone, and only some of the information and apps were backed up.  It is strange apps that I have had on there for over a year maybe even two years did not get put back on, however pictures that I took yesterday are still on my phone please help I have alot of importnat information saved on allot of those apps like password app and one note.
    Is there a way I can restore my phone back to the settings even if it was from a few weeks ago when I last backed up to install iOS 7. 
    Not sure if it maters but I always back up to "this computer" and not "iCloud"

    I have done a new backup (iCloud) of my new iPhone (5S) and I can't delete the backup of the old one (5). Why ? How could I delete this backup which is usefull now ? iCloud tells me that the backup is still in use...
