How can i retrieve my password to access my backup restore for my iphone

how can i retrieve for backup password for my iphone

If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain for retriever.
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.

    I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

    First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
    Mac:  iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
    PC:  iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
    Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • How can I retrieve a password for a document?

    You won't believe this....
    I made a document in Acrobat 9 on my Win7 computer, password protected it, typed it in a 2nd time, then saved the document. Just seconds later, I went to test the document to make sure it'd open, so I tried to open it, and ..... it wouldn't open. It said 'wrong password'. So I must have had my fingers on the keyboard in the wrong home base position, and typed something other than I thought. I typed the same "password" with my fingers in different spots on the keyboard, but couldn't replicate the mistake.
    How can I retrieve a password?
    1) I thought there was something on computers where you could find out previous keystrokes, especially if you've not yet turned off your computer. I read one time where you do some steps then paste the results onto a .txt file, and it will show your previous keystrokes.
    2) I almost bought one of those Password Recovery software programs online last night from Daosoft. I wonder if they're a scam, or if they really work?

    You can't recover the password. If you could, I could have as well and the whole purpose of encryption would be moot. This is why it is a good practice to save the original PDF before you secure it.
    If the password that you created was a really strong one (other than word 'password' or some other word) I doubt that the password recovery programs would do the work. They are usually good only for fairly simple passwords.
    Acrobat X added new way of encryption that is almost impossible to crack and Acrobat XI added the password strength indicator which tells you how good the password that you're entering is.

  • How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone?

    How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone? Don't call me stupid! I was relying on iCloud to have backed all this up, but turns out it didn't work. Can anyone help me get my photos back - they were of my baby daughter. Also, I've lost all my contacts. Please help.

    Unfortunately no. The only way the phone backs up is if you make it back up. You either connect to iTunes and backup and sync, or you set it up for a wifi sync to iCloud. But you have to setup iCloud to start with. You have learned a hard lesson on how to make sure you import pictures on a regular basis like you would the digital camera. When things happen to the phone, this is the media that is lost the most (pictures in camera roll). After taking a number of pictures, and especially ones you consider important, you should connect the phone to the computer and import them, so there is a backup copy on the computer.
    Contacts are saved in the backup as well, however they are really designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, or backed up to iCloud or other cloud service. And, the only way to go back in time on the phone is to restore from a backup, but you also have to remember, you would lose everything on the phone that you had done since that backup, so it is a double edged sword.

  • How can I retrieve the password hint of an external drive encrypted with FileVault 2?

    Hi,
    I'm running on 10.7.3, I have an external HDD that is fully encrypted with FileVault 2.  When encrypting an external drive, FileVault 2 doesn't provide a recovery key, but it gives you the opportunity to give a hint at the time you enter the password.  My question is: how can I get this hint?
    I'm asking because I can't mount the drive anymore.  I keep getting prompted to enter the password, and although I believe I'm sure what the password is, it keeps getting refused.  The weird thing is that I have never been asked this password because the drive has always been automatically mounted after reboots, I guess because the password was in my Keychain.  I have no idea why it no longer auto-mounts and none of the passwords I tried worked.
    In Disk Utility, when I tried to "verify" the locked volume, Disk Utility logs an error in system.log with no other user visible action.  I filed a bug with Apple about this (#11286871) but I'm still waiting to hear back from them.  The error logged is:

    Even if you succeed with the difficult instructions to do this, if you are running Mavericks (10.9.x) on your Mac, count on it to start over with a whole new backup of your Mac, so you will have two separate backup files for the Mac on the Time Capsule.
    Realistically, few of us ever need to go back months or years to retrieve a file from Time Machine. My recommendation would be to keep the external hard drive around for a few months until you have a good backup history established for the Mac....and then delete the backups from the drive and use it as a spare hard drive.

  • How can I specify which contacts group is my preferred/default for my iPhone?

    Similar situation as others I've seen...
    My wife and I share an iTunes account.  We also use that account for our iCloud account.  We want to share our calendar(s) with each other.  We enjoy having access to the number of contact groups we've put together over the years. 
    I want to be able to designate one of the contact groups as my default reference for my iPhone so that when I recieve messages and calls they are recognized by the identifiers in my phone's contacts list (not as if they are my wife's contacts).  Sure, we could set up multiple iCloud accounts...  We feel we shouldn't have to, besides, that wouldn't allow us to share our calenders and contacts anymore.  It seems to my that the most "Apple" way of fixing this would be to have a "Settings" option in the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" - particularly in the "Contacts" grouping to have a "Primary Contacts Group" (if more than one is detected) option to choose from.
    Is this something that can be done or do I need to submit this as a requested future feature to something like the Apple Bug Reporter?
    Thanks all!

    Is there a way to specify which network card (IP
    address) that the jvm will use as default? (Whenever
    opening a connection such as URL.openConnection,
    sockets without specifying the local address etc.)No there isn't, but if you are only talking about outbound connections and the network cards are on distinct subnets, unicast routing will ensure that the most appropriate outbound NIC is used for the target IP address, so configure your firewall accordingly.

  • How can I retrieve old passwords from a broken computer?

    My old computer crashed and it had all my old passwords on it! I was wondering if it were possible to somehow retrieve them. I can access data from the computer, but I can't open the Firefox application due to the virus. I was running it on Vista with the newest version of Firefox as of April 2011.
    I'd really appreciate the help - I cant remember all of my passwords.

    Everything should be in these articles
    * Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox<br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    * Profile folder<br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile

    * Category:Profile contents (Firefox) - MozillaZine Knowledge Base<br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Profile_contents_(Firefox)
    The first article tells what files you need for passwords, for your purposes everything is Firefox 3 (meaning Firefox 3 and up).
    You could just copy the content of your entire profile into a profile created and then with Firefox down empty your new profile and repopulate with the old profile content.
