This has happened to a few users.  Try using the same password that you log onto your computer with.  Other passwords that may work 11111 and 12345.

    This means when you backed up your device you clicked encrypt backup... That means you need a password to unlock the backup and restore to it. Call apple support for help if you forgot your password.

  • "Enter the passcode to unlock your iPhone backup". I keep getting this message, what do I do since I can't remember my password?

      "Enter the passcode to unlock your iPhone backup" ? I can't remember my passcode, what do I do?

    I have also got a "Enter password" window to ask me "Enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file."
    I've the identical problem; I do believe it's asking for the encryption password, though in my case, could not recall encrypting the backup and I haven't entered it in Splash ID. I ended up using an external program to decrypt the password – "iPhone Backup Unlocker".
    It worked like a charm. I only downloaded its standard version. With that it gave me the first three letters and the rest were blocked out with ***. The result is just as 123***. This however was enough for me to recall the password.
    Thank "iPhone Backup Unlocker"!

    Lost all contact info.  All my Aps are there but all the data/progress is missing.  When I plug my iphone into the usb fto synch up with my itunes on the computer a message comes up and says "enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file".  This is very frustrating

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

  • "password to unlock your iPad backup"

    Hello,  in attempting to restore my iPad via the iTunes backup, I am asked to enter a password.  But, I do not recall every creating a Backup password.  I tried a few passwords I used to unlock the iPad and the security password but to no avail.  Any suggestions to help me overcome this issue?  Thank you.

  • HT201210 "Enter the password to unlock you iPhone backup" on screen.  No passwords work, help

    We were updating the iPhone from iOS 4 to iOS 6 and the above mentioned pop up came on screen when we tried to restore from back up.

    If you enabled Encryption for device backups, enter the Encryption password.
    If you did not enable Encryption, the backup is corrupt.

    Then you won't be able to use that backup. You might as well delete it and start over.

  • HT1212 i recently upgraded my OS, all my data is backed up on my laptop, to restore the data i need  to enter the password to my phone data backup, which i forgot, is there anyway i could get back?

    i recently upgraded my OS, all my data is backed up on my laptop, to restore the data i need  to enter the password to my phone data backup, which i forgot, is there anyway i could get back?

    No. If there was a way of getting hold of the password, it wouldn't be much of a security system, would it?  The backup is lost if you can't remember.

  • IOS upgrade 5.0.1 iPad failed at Enter the password to unlock backup

    I upgraded iTunes on my MacBook (Leopard), then attempted to upgrade iOS on my iPad2 from the original iOS it came with (4.x). Everything seemed to go fine until it was attempting to put itself back together from the backup taken just before the upgrade. I haven't been able to give it the right password.
    I believe I had set backups to be encrypted. But people who didn't also seem to have trouble with this. I've tried lots of possible passwords (for the account on the MacBook I was using, the admin account on it, current appleid, old appleid, 4 digit numbers that I use for accounts that require 4-digit numbers, a few items from keychain), to no avail.
    Need help with three questions (at least!)
    1. I am confused about what password would be used to unlock the encrypted files (is this a separate password? I no longer remember how it was set up, although I did it last spring). Some folks on forum suggested that the correct password might fail in this process, but changing the password might get it to  work. But I don't know which password or how. I usually record passwords in Data Vault, but don't have anything in there separately for iTunes or the iPad backup. Need to know whether I need to tear the house apart looking for a possible scrap of paper.
    2. If I manage to find the right password, how do I get to the right backup? I had to cancel out of the form that was asking for the password in order to try anything else. Now when I try to restore from backup, the backup showing is not the right one (it is earlier). As a last resort I may have to try restoring from that one (assuming I can solve the password problem.)
    3. I had synced all my applications and contacts before starting this. Can I get back most of my stuff from that? I didn't not have music, movies or many photos. Did have a few kindle and nook books.
    I'm finding the whole process of managing the iPad with iTunes very confusing. Thanks in advance for any help.

    This is what I would do.
    1. Settings > General > Reset.> Erase All Content and Settings
    2. Build the IPad 2 from Fresh and then Upgrade to Newest IOS.
    3. Restore Application's Manually > App Store > One by One
    4. Restore Contacts : If you use Gmail : Its Easy : through Itunes
    Once All the Apps and Contacts are Synced : Would do a Backup.
    5. Encrypt and Add a New Password.
    6. Backup Again : So that you have 2 separate Restore Points.
    Good luck, let me know if this helps.

  • What do you do if you forget the password to access your iPad?

    my little brothers forgot his password which he has used to stop anybody else accessing his ipad. does anybody know what i can do to solve this?

    If he's forgotten the passcode then he will need to connect the iPad to the computer that he normally syncs to and he should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync his content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - he may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
