Forgotton or never set password for iPhone 6 backup

I recently checked the "Encrypt iPhone backup" option in itunes as I thought it would restore all my email account information in the event needing to do a restore from backup on a new or replaced phone.
I don't remember ever given an option to set a password for this. And if I did and forgot I did, I've tried every password I've ever used or would use in order to uncheck the "Encrypt iPhone backup" and it doesn't work.
So it appears the backup of my iPhone is useless as I assume I would be asked for this password when trying to do a restore.
Is there any work around or could Apple do anything on their end?
If not, I'm essentially in a very bad way and will have no way of transferring my iphone content to another phone.

Hi When you Charge an iPhone /iPad it backs up your data to ICLOUD So if you need to set your iPhone back to Factory Settings Or buy a new iPhone. If you use the same Apple ID you get all your Apps & Data back So if you have problems a Factory Reset make iPhone like new. Cheers Brian

How can i set password for a backup?

::I am using 10g xe
I am gettin gbackup through RMAN, how can i set password for each backup? I want to protect my backup so that no one other could use it if he copies the backup files.
Faheem

Just use "SET ENCRYPTION ON IDENTIFIED BY password ONLY" command in your RMAN scripts. Look at the advanced backup manual for details: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp006.htm#sthref632

@Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up.

Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iphone backup.

Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iPhone backup. The iTunes software becomes unusable and unresponsive after entering correct password (only set up today) All i want to do is backup my iPhone before trying update to the latest ios. I have tried uninstalling all Apple software and re-installing, all unsuccessfully - still have the same problem! Essentially i have to use ctr+alt+del to even close the iTunes program, so I'm assuming there must be some sort of corruption with the encryption / password setup - neither of which have been used at all, all previous backups are on iCloud and don't have encryption. I obviously don't want to attempt a backup with these sort of issues occurring as i don't think i could trust it. Can anyone suggest a way to fix the problem, Ive tried googling all afternoon without any success - most answers I can find relate to people who have lost their passwords but don't have the software issues i am having.

Further to the issue - i thought I'd try and run an encrypted backup for fun (since that's the only option available atm) and the backup hangs as well - in fact it doesn't even technically start other than saying its backing up. The progress bar never moves at all?

Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Password for encrypted backup of device

I need help to change the type of encryption for my iPhone and iPad backups in itunes. I have tried all the passwords I ve used in years and have no clue. Somewhere in Support I found an instruction that did not lead to clearing the password. It did send me to backup to iCloud and do a restoere from there. But this is not what I am trying to acheive. I already was backing up to iCloud. If I need to do a restore from a backup in iTunes on my PC I cannot do it because I cannot provide a correct passowrd for the encrypted backup.
Can anyone help me with a solution?

If the user cannot remember the password for the backup, the backup is useless. There is no way to reset or remove the password requirement.
If the user did not enable backup encryption, the backup is corrupt.
In other words, the backup is no good without the password, delete it and move on with life.

How to set password for photos from home screen? Please help.

Hi,
Can anyone pls help to set password for my Iphone 4s.
My friends/family often use my phone for gaming purpose. I don't want them to see my photos/gallery/videos.
How can I protect my personal things from others?
Thnx.
Rgds.

There is no way to set a password for photos. You could upload all of your photos to something like DropBox, then sign out of the app. Or, you could only let people you trust to respect your privacy touch your phone.

HT1766 What if I forgot my password for the backup? I don't see a forgot password button.

I put a password for my backup months ago and now I don't remember it. I rectently went on vacaction and my iPhone was backed up to iCould. While I was on vcation i started to get notifcations saying that there was no more space in cloud. I kept on ignoring it. Now I want to back it up to my mom's mac, and I need the password, but I don't know the password. Please help me out. Thank You. Sincerely, Saad Jaber.

If you don't know the password then you cannot use the backup. That is the point of the passcode.

How do I remove password from iphone backups?

I am currently using the original iPhone running 1.0.2. I'm just wondering how do I remove the password from iphone backups? I read on other threads that you only have to uncheck "encrypt backup" in the summary page when you connect your phone. However, I don't have this option. I only see:
- Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
- Sync only ticked songs and videos
- Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbp AAC
- Manually manage music and videos
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you are just trying to bypass the passcode on the phone, you can unlock it. Plug the phone into your computer/itunes and turn the equipment on. At the same time hold down the on/off button and the home button and do not let go. Typically you will see the apple symbol and after a few minutes you will see a picture of a apple cord asking you to plug th ephone in to itunes. unplug the phone from your computer and replug. You should then be able to restore the phone to original manufacturing setings using the apple software on your computer.
If you are trying to bypass the APPLE user id and password, that's a whole new set of issues.

Forgotten my encrypted password for iPhone back up, how many attempts?

Does anyone know the limit of failed attempts for entering the password for iphone encrypted back ups?
I have so many passwords and when I created the encryption I was on a PC (now on an iMac), so if I had keychain access, I didn't know about it. Now my only option is to trawl through all the passwords I can think of! I'm just worried I might disable the whole thing and get locked out forever!
Is there a limit to failed attempts? And is it reset daily?
I don't think it makes any difference, but just in case, I better mention the back ups were taken from an iPhone 3G on a PC, transferred to an iMac (OS X 10.7.2) and I'm now using an iPhone 4s.
Thanks in advance!

How do I save the password for a site for which I have chosen the "never remember password for this site" option?

The first time you enter a password for a site a box pops up under the address bar that has a picture of a key and then the question: "Remember this password?". In the drop box, I chose the option "Never Remember Password for This Site". I can't figure out how to change it so that the password IS remembered.

It sounds like the printer is still trying to retain the old network information.
Try a Hard Reset:
* Unplug printer while unit is turned on
* Unplug other end of power cord from the direct wall outlet
* Wait 30 seconds
* Plug unit back up for power
Reset Network information to Default:
* Press the Wrench/Setup menu button in the top right of the touch display of the printer
* Select the Wireless menu option
* Scroll down to Restore Network Defaults
After restoring the defaults, then try running the Wireless Setup Wizard. Let me know if the unit still does not retain the information.
