HT1414 I want to restore backup, but it asks for a password to unlock iPad backup. I never created one, where do I retrieve the password?
I never created a password, how do I retrieve it?
If you never turned on backup encryption and set a password this would indicate the backup is corrupt.
Delete the backup and create a new one.

I am locked out of my iPod and it says i cannot restore or back up due to me needing to unlock it and obviously i don't have my password. Please help, how do i unlock it?
Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password) -
I'm new to Ubuntu & Linuz OS. I've started to see a pop-up window that says: System Program Problem Detected- Do you want to report the problem. When I click yes, I'm asked to enter my password to access problem reports of system programs. Should I be asked for my password ???
I am fairly new to Ubuntu, but that does not sound unexpected. Ubuntu tends to have everyone use a limited account that needs to ask for a password before carrying out operations like installing software.

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends! -
its a 4s, backed up on the 5/sept at 10.49pm, trying to restore on 7/sept and it saus password incorrect.
have tried 1234, 0000, and my only itunes password, and the lock phone password i had when i restored it.
resarted my computer, turned device on and off....still cant do it..
i'm annoyed now!
can anyone help??

bambicoBecause when you first saved an encrypted backup that is the password you used. The backup password does not "track" your password changes; it stays with what you started with unless you change it.

M30: BIOS password: never set but now asking for a password
I've never set my BIOS password before on my Toshiba Satellite M30 laptop.
However i have just switched it on, and the laptop is asking me for a password.
Does anyone know why this is so?
I am not asking on how to hack it - but just wondering what the hell is going on!Hi Daniel,
The BIOS password(s) are stored on the CMOS chip itself, and the normal procedure for resetting them (if the password is not known) is to fully reset the CMOS chip contents.
Although this sounds pretty straight-forward the problem is that the password information is stored in a non-volatile part of the chip so that the normal BIOS reset techniques do not affect it. Techniques such as disconnecting the CMOS battery in order to remove all user information will also not work.
ASPs use a special device for resetting the CMOS chip contents although some repairers will opt to change the mainboard where they do not have the necessary equipment available.

I Tried updating my iPhone 4 to ios7. Have been trying for 7 hours to no avail. It comes up with an apple and grey bar however no download is appearing on the bar. My laptop is now asking for a password to an email address unrecognizable to me? When I cancel out it displays error number 4005. I have installed up to date iTunes, restarted etc etc. am starting to go mad!
That sounds like a lock PIN put on via Icloud - can you log into iCloud and unlock it?

Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,

Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.
