For restoring from backup itunes is asking for password

Hi Experts
for restoring from backup itunes is asking for password and i didn't give any password when backup was going on not even i checked on encrypt my backup.
please help me ASAP

See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3057884
I too have experienced the "blame everything but Apple products/software" indoctrination of the Apple phone support techs!
I have a feeling that iTunes automatically switches encryption on and puts as default a previous iTunes store password but as I don't leave mine the same all the time (and don't feel the need to remember historic passwords that I'm not using to secure anything against) I have no clue what it is.
Good luck trying to get useful advice on here relating to the issue, it will go along the lines of...
1) Its your fault for setting it and forgetting the password,
2) We know everything and theres definately no way iTunes would set backups to encrypt without your knowledge and...
3) Theres no fix for this issue, you might be able to save some of your data, but most will be lost (unless you specifically ask for an iTunes redownload exemption/ token then your purchases could be lost too).
Welcome to the world of Apple!

If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
From iTunes: About iOS backups:
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
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 can I restore my iphone from the backup file?

If you don't know the password to the encrypted backup file, you can't restore from that backup. Simple. There's absolutely no way around this.

I have a new ipad and want to restore my old..it asks for my ipad password.
How do I find the ipad password?

What password are you refering to? A passcode lock on the ipad itself or the password for your apple id?
If its a pascode lock, then:

After Installing the OS x Mountain Lion some o the softwares are asking for Java SE 6 Runtime. Can someone please help me find a solution.

After Installing the OS x Mountain Lion some o the softwares are asking for Java SE 6 Runtime. Can someone please help me find a solution.

By default, ML no longer comes with the Java runtime preinstalled. I believe the route to enabling Java if you are going to need it is to run the Java Preferences app found in Utilities. It will inform you of Java's absence and offer to install the latest version and activate it. On subsequent runs, the Preferences app will allow you to fine tune how the runtime operates.
Note that the new default operation is for the applet plugin to be disabled. You need to enable it as needed and it self-deactivates if unused in awhile. Also important to note that Java comes in both 32 and 64 bit versions and you can set the preferred order. Default is 64-bit but I've had issues with some applets failing to run and have had to switch the order.

You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone backup.
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 do backups 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.

HT1688 The number code would not allow me to input a 1 2 or 3 for my 4 digit code. After numerous tries, it now says iphone disabled connect to itunes. When i connected to itunes, it asked for the code, but I could not enter it. How do I fix this probl

The number pad would not let me type in a 1 2 3 for my 4 digit code. After numerous tries, the phone now says iphone disabled connect to itunes. When I connected to itunes, it asked for the code which I was unable to enter. Help!

Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons on iPhone until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

"iCloud Restore from Backup" gives error "Incorrect Apple ID or Password"

I have an iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.2) that was just replaced at the Genius Bar today due to some intermittent camera and home button issues.
Everything was normal when starting up the newly exchanged phone that they gave me. It gets through the activation step in the startup process and when I get to the screen to select "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter my Apple ID and password it instantly spits out an alert that says:
Incorrect Apple ID or Password
Try another Apple ID
( OK )
I have entered, what I know to be, the correct username and password now 10+ times and it gives me the same message. I know it's correct because I am able to login to icloud.com, appleid.apple.com, the app store on my iPad normally with the same login credentials and everything works. But something about the startup screen is not accepting my username and password. They fishy thing about it is that it doesnt seem to check for the server, it just seems to tell me its incorrect before even taking the time to check whether it's incorrect or not.
Naturally, the next thing I did was a DFU restore of the phone to make sure it wasnt a software issue and that it had the lastest software update. All the same results. If I go down the path of "Set up as new iPhone" it activates normally and then I can even log into iCloud normally from inside the OS once I've gotten there. That, however, does not help me get my backup text messages, photos, apps, app data, etc.
Anyone else having this issue? I never usually have issues with my iPhone/iPad and this one is especially infuriating.
Any help/information would be much appreciated.

Freddie,
I associated my Apple ID in their system as an Apple Reseller account because I was working for a third-party Apple Authorized Dealer a few months ago. After that point, this is when I noticed this happened.
Tier 2 of AppleCare told me they believe this is the reason I've been having problems being able to restore because Apple Reseller accounts are not "iCloud Eligible"
I replied and told them it was ok for them to remove my account as reseller status and after multiple attempts to reach the advisor assigned to my case, he stopped responding.
I fear I may be out of luck. Are you by any chance an Apple reseller or associated with an Apple reseller?

When I try to restore from backup, it says my phone is locked and I need a passcode, but it isn't locked

When I try to restore my contacts on my iphone 3G from my MacBook Pro, it says that my phone is locked and that I need a passcode, however, it doesn't give me the option to enter a passcode. I checked to see if it was locked and it is not. For some reason, the sync process thinks it is. Any ideas?
Thank you

You're right about the computer. Our computer guy couldn't get my computer to work right so he used a coworkers. However, when it says I need to enter a passcode, it doesn't give me a popup or anything to do so...?

Some one has accessed my icloud account and deleted my contacts, now i am getting an email of them from me!! asking for my new password. who can i complain to and get this sorted

Some one is trying to change my password. Last week i had my icloud accessed and my contacts were deleted. And now i have had an email apparently from myself asking for my apple id password because i change the password when my contacts were wiped. i had my last phone stolen i reported it and blocked the phone if they have managed to access it then how are they getting my details. i am not very happy with this as the icloud didn't back up my photos last time there are pics and videos on that phone of my child. if i cloud did back them up they why haven't they appeared on i cloud. My new phone has also backed up to photo stream and they aren't showing up on icloud either. I am not happy with the security of your system if it is this easy for some one to access all my details on a stolen phone!!!!

You need a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud. After you create an Apple ID, go to System Preferences > iCloud and set up iCloud with it
