How do u reset my restore backup password?

Hello Rissey,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The encrypted backup password stays unless you want to restore the device as new.
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You need the backup password to disable backup encryption or to restore from an encrypted backup.
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
Have a nice day,
Mario

How can i find my restore backup password?

How can i find my restore backup password?

You don't "find" it.
You either remember it or you don't.

How do I find my restore backup password?

I just upgraded my Iphone 3GS to the IOS5. Once the update completed it gave me the option to restore my Iphone from a previous backup done today. I chose that option and clicked continue. It then proceeded to ask me for a restore backup password which I do not have. I have never been asked for this before or set one up. I have tried everything. I tunes password, cell number, serial number etc. Nothing works! I called Apple and it says they have no one to help available. Any help please?

If you have no passcode for the screen lock, connect your phone in recovery mode and restore, as explained in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
If you encrypted your backup before and can't remember the code for your backup, you can't use the backup and you'll have to start from the scratch.
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.

You can't. Either find out what it is, or you'll have to delete all of your existing backups, restore your phone as a new device & start over.

I am running LR in 2 PCs. a Sony VAIO laptop with Intel solo processor, 2 GB RAM. and a desktop with XP SP2 with 2 GB RAM. all the pics in a NAS device and a DB replicated in both PCs.
No issues with Vista, other than most of the drivers for my peripherals are late. the driver for the EPSON 2200 was just released 2 weeks ago, the driver for the 32 bits CF PCMCIA reader is not ready so I used a workaround, etc. It will probably take one year before all the drivers and applications work well with Vista. LR works perfect for me on both OS and I am managing 10K pics so far.
One tip: LR was rather slow on Vista... until I discovered that Norton Firewall was sucking up 30% of CPU power!. I turned Norton Firewall off ad Visa firewall on and LR is back running as fast as in the XP machine (where I also have Norton)... I guess Norton will release some fixes soon :-) So check out if the firewall (and the side bar) are consuming processing speed on your Vista machine.
LR needs improvements and I am sure those improvements will come with time. But it works with Vista and I am super happy with LR today as I improved the speed of my workflow at least 5x versus Photoshop CS, as I mostly do just WB, exposure, metadata and cropping... when one works on stock photography and events photos, if you do more than that it is not worth it... and probably one needs to learn how to take better pics, not how to fix the pics with PS magic :-)

Do you have Google 2 stage authentication turned on?
If so, you wont't be able to use your normal google password, but will have to instead generate an "application specific" password for the iPad YouTube app in the google security settings section.

Settings > Phone > SIM PIN lets you change. That's on iOS 6. I think it was slightly different on iOS 5, not sure where it was then.

How can i reset or restore my iphone after dropping it in water

how can i reset or restore my iphone after dropping it in water????

There are a lot of posts here about your problem, read a few of them and they all come back to switching the phone off immediately and have it in a very good closed bag of dry rice for a week and advisely swith the rice for a fresh charge of dry rice every week for a number of weeks when it was really submersed. Ckuan advice times 3. The iPhone has a detector which indicates whether the iPhone was in the water, Apple can give you an indication about the price first if you visit them.
