To find lost iPhone backup password, you can do as the following steps:
The first step: Get tool "iPhone Backup Unlocker" via Google search then setup it and run it. It will show you import your saved backup file.
The next step: Choose your right Attack Type and do the particular settings
Totally, you will find 3 modes to pick out: Brute-force Attack (try all possible character combinations), Brute-force with Mask Attack (Knowing some symbols in the password) and Dictionary Attack (one`s own dictionary or use import default dictionary)
The third step: Crack iPhone backup password After choose your suitable attack mode, afterward you cost minimum time for you to find password and have lost data in your phone!

TS3683 lost my encrypted backup password

I've lost my "Encrypted Local Backup" password. I can't restore my Ipad... please help me...
Thanking you

It's not stored anywhere, so unless you can remember it or find where you write it down, then you won't be able to restore to that backup. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 (which applies to iPads as well as iPhones) :
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.

Reset my backup password

I need to reset my backup password becasue I forget, please help me out to do this.
Thank You

If you could reset a lost passcode, anyone could, creating a major security breach. Your only alternative is to restore the phone as new, and start over. If you REALLY need to protect your backups with a passcode, write it down and DON'T LOSE IT!!

WHAT IS BACKUP PASSWORD?

I love the answer of "you must have put a password". How about this theory, a glitch in iTunes which when selecting "encrypt", it doesn’t prompt for a password. So, the contents are encrypted with no password. But, the pickle is when restoring an encrypted backup, a password is required. This is what I call a software glitch. I called apple support last night and I think one of the supervisors, Brian, will pass this information to the engineers.
The solution to this problem would include allowing restoration of encrypted backups with blank password.
After doing some research, I have another method which I am going to test. I am going to create a password when doing a backup. I am assuming that the password is stored internally in the phone. Then once the password is set, I will try to recover the backup with the lost password.
Last resort is using all passwords which have been used. This includes pass code for phone new and old, apple id passwords old and new, all windows stored passwords new and old ( log in, email, wireless, fb, etc ).
In either case, this seems to be a common issue which Apple is not taking the initiate to resolve. It is always assumed that the users put a password and then forgot which is not the case.
It should also be noted that it is against their policy to provide means to compromise encrypted backups which could be used maliciously.
I do applaud Apple support though, they speak clear English, they are courteous, and they are professional even when they don’t know how to resolve your issue.
My long term goal after this mess is not to encrypt the backup, rather keep the backup encrypted with other means like Truecrypt.

Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.
