If the backup is encrypted and you don't know the password, then there's no way to access the backup.

  • I forgot the password to my encrypted iPhone backup

    What now?  I cannot access the backup OR switch to cloud backup without the password.

    Well, if you forgot, you can still backup but until you remember the password you cannot restore from backup.
    You have to start as new.
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    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.

  • How do I get my new gmail password to work on iPhone and iPad? Tried the basics already.

    Hi I had to reset my password for my gmail account and since then have been unable to load my gmail on either my phone or iPad. After resetting I am unable to load my gmail account on both my iPhone and iPad instead I get the error message, "Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for 'imap.gmail.com' is incorrect." I've seen that others have had similar problems would like some guidance. Thank you.

    You have to go into Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the gmail account, and enter the new password. I 2 places, one for incoming, one for outgoing.

  • I forgot my encrypt iPhone backup password

    I lost my password to the encrypt iPhone backup. How do I reset it? I don't need to restore my phone, but I would like to be able to access my future backups in case something happens to my iPhone 4s. How do I reset it and if I can't reset it, what do I do next to make sure all my data is saved?

    Hello AjaxTheCat,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the other possible passwords listed in the previous article did not work.  I would recommend that you read this article.

    If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

  • My work issued iphone won't restore the backup. New password twist!

    My work issued iphone won't restore the backup. I get an error that my password is wrong. I tried variations of all recent passwords. Checked various threads and saw one that suggesting to use the "Change Password" feature under "Encrypt iPhone Backup" as a faster way to find your password. After a few wrong attempts I then successfully changed my backup password and wrote it down!!
    Now when I tried to restore my backup with my shiny new password I get the same error that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "my iphone" because the password was incorrect"  The "Encrypt iPhone backup" option is checked and grayed out. I assume the fact its grayed out means its a policy set by my company. I cannot uncheck the "Encrypt iPhone Backup" option. My company IT helpdesk can't help me as they say they don't set a password or force its encryption. The phone has Mobile Iron 5.7.4 app installed as a corporate requirement.
    Any ideas? I am using iOS 6.1.3 and I will not update it to iOS 7 since I cannot restore my backup. Learned this the hard way when it wouldn't restore after the iOS 5 to iOS 6 update. I have an iPhone 4s.
    Thank you,

    This is a problem.  We also set a policy which requires users create a backup password.  That way if they salvage their computer, someone that buys it at the Thrift store won't be able to access what might be company data.  The problem is that the password is only required one time, when the initial backup is made, and it might be a year or more before you need to use it to do a restore.  Here is an article which may help out...at least with some ideas on password ideas...http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
    If you can't remember it, you can always transfer your content to your computer, music, apps, photo's etc, then setup the device as new and transfer the content back.  This won't allow you to get various settings, and points on games, etc, but at least you will have the really really important stuff.  If you are connected to an enterprise mail server, that will restore all of your mail, contacts and calendar.

  • How to find or bypass the password for unlock backup for iphone with mac?

    Hi,
    My Iphone is not working for some reason and i realy need the information that was on it.
    I have a backup in my itune and i tried to download it to my ipod using the "restore from backup" option.
    Unfortuanlty, it asked me for a backup password which i've never put and without it i can't get into my backup information.
    Is there any way to bypass it or find the password somehow?
    I've tried to find it in the keychain accses (i'm using mac) but didn't find anything there
    it is realy frustrating..
    Tnxs

    If it asks for a backup password you or someone else put one on it. Without the password there is no way you can recover the backup.
    But -- is is asking for the backup password, or for the phone password? You cannot restore a backup from one phone to another phone without the unlock code for the phone. This is to prevent someone from stealing your data.
    But in general, if there was a way around a password what would be the point of having a password?

    If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
    If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your backup data is unrecoverable.
    While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups, & restore your phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
    You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

  • I have forgotten my password to unlock my iPhone backup

    While upgrading my operating system and applications I had to restore my phone (via iTunes) from the back up on my computor. I am being asked for a password to unlock my iPhone backup but cannot remember it. How can I get the password or access the back up to restore my phone?

    If on a Mac, and you elected to save such to your Keychain, you can recover it from your Keychain. Otherwise, you can't.

  • How do I recover my password for restoring an iPhone backup using itunes?

    I used the "encrypt backup" password protection feature in iTunes for my iPhone when I set it up years ago.  I have a 3Gs, just downloaded and installed iOS5, and it's asking me for my password to restore the backup onto my iPhone with the new operating system only I forgot that specific password and there doesn't appear to be any "lost password" functionality.  Please note, this is different than the standard Apple ID username and password...this is specific to encrypting iPhone backups in iTunes...I have my Apple ID username and password.  Does anyone know if there is a way to recover or reset the password protected encrypt backup password so I can restore my latest backup and not have to start from scratch with everything...PLEASE?

    Hey Gremlin,
    Can you let me know if Apple fix the issue? I lost a heap of pics from when my daughter was born (well technically I still have them, it's just that they're unintelligible garble).
    Oh and if you're worried about iTunes deleting your backup, they're located in your home account (if you're using a Mac). Just go to:
    Macintosh HD/Users/<your_username>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/backup
    Copy the files to another location and you should be right. I don't know how you get iTunes to recognise them if you put them back though, haven't tried that yet.
    Regards,
    Chris
    PS. I've made a couple of posts about this, some of the info there may help. One thing though, I don't think the password is restricted to 4 digits as mentioned there. Can anyone confirm that?

    If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
    From iTunes: About iOS backups:
    In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
    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 bought a new iphone5s and when i tried to back it up from my iphone5 itunes is coming up with "enter the password to unlock your Iphone backup" i dont have cluee what the password is? didnt even know i had made one? ive tried my itunes password?

    my itunes wont let me restore my new iphone 5s from my iphone5 as it it is coming up with "enter the password to unlock your iphone backup"  i dont have a password set up? ive tried my itunes password but nothing is working?

    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.
