HT1766 Trying to restore from back up and it is asking for password.

I do not remember setting up a password for backing up and none of my passwords will work.  How do I reset my password?  I doesn't give me an option.

The iCloud backup saves photos and videos in the camera roll.  If the backup you restored from did not restore photos and videos to the phone then the backup did not contain them.  Check to see if you have more than one backup available.  IF so you might restore from that.  remember you cannot select what data from a backup you want to restore - it is all or nothing.  So if you restore from an older backup then that is what you will end up with.

    Hi Khuram1981 - thank you thank you thank you!  All sorted!  dont suppose you know how to fix another problem I have??? for weeks now, since updating to ios5 I think, for some reason every time I have tried to log onto app store it says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE.  It's nothing to do with my computer, and I've been to the Geniius bar but they couldnt help and nothing I seem to do lets me update my Apps and even worse, I cant even buy any more.  Any suggestions?
    Again thank you SO much for helping with other problem = a real relief.

  • HT201269 i bought my iphone 4 about a year ago and just decided to upgrade it to ios5 just recently. My phone restored to to its factory settings and when I clicked continue restore from back up it is now asking a backup password which i dont remember set

    i bought my iphone 4 about a year ago and just decided to upgrade it to ios5 just recently. My phone restored to to its factory settings and when I clicked continue restore from back up it is now asking a backup password which i dont remember setting up one. I am currently using a windows vista PC. How can I retrieve the password or restore all my old data into the new OS. I have been reading blogs about the same situation and is it true that it is one of apple's bugs?

    It is NOT a bug.  You provided a password.  If you can't remember it, you can't restore your phone from backup.  Very simple.

    What can I do, iPad disabled/lockout and iTunes keeps asking for password, I cannot restore...iTunes grays out backup and restore but my iPad and iPod shows on Apple etc..???

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • HT2305 down loaed hunger games from Itunes, try to play it asks for password put in and when I hit play a blank screen

    As I said, downloaded Hunger Games HD from Itunes and will not play. Click on Play movie and it asks for password. I install password and hit play and movie screen comes up but just a black screen.

    not that I have ever known of  and when I go to info there is no purchased by.  The songs that will play say my name  in the purchased by section.  I had my whole computer wiped out and had to have it completely reinstalled but I have always had the same email and that is what my id is.  could it be because some of those are under an old password?  Is there any way for me to find out if I do have another id for some reason.  Im so confused and if it doesn't say purchased by then how do I know.  Can I go into store and redownload under my id and password that I usually use?  Sorry lots of questions but thought I would just shoot them all at once. lol

  • Need help my ipod touch will not let me on the net iam with sky and it was working fine then a padlock appeared next to it and it keeps asking for password

    I have set up my ipod touch too use the internet which is sky its been working fine but now when i try it say unable to join network and there is a padlock beside the sky wi fi thing when i tap that it asks for password and i cant remember the password is there anything else i can try

    You can guess the passwoard.  That is all you can do.
    You can enter the router etup and change the password.  You may have to rese the whole router.  Look at/download the manual for the router to find out how to do that.

  • HT1766 I reset my ipad then tried to restore it with my icloud backup. it asked for my apple id and password. I knew my password but could not remember the apple id. so I asked the dialogue to retreive it but it asked me to reset my password. now i can't

    i had problems with it being very slow even thought I deleted all my music and pics and even a lot of apps so I figured I'd reset it and restore from the backup I have on iTunes. but after aksing for my apple id and then being forced to change my password, it also asked me to associate an email with the account.after all that when I try to restore it says it has a problem. I can't remember the exact message I get.
    I set it up as a new ipad thinking I'd try and use iTunes to retrieve it. but it doesn't look like I can do it that way either.haven't synced with a my laptop in a while.

  • My replacement 5S wont restore from a previous backup.  Im asked for a password and no password i use works.

    My replacement 5s wont restore from a previous backup.  I'm asked for a password and no password i use works.

    iTunes or iCloud? If it is iTunes, then it has an encryption password on it, and you won't be able to get the backup without the password. If it is iCloud, it would be your Apple ID password.

  • I have adobe Acrobat - I am trying to do a electronic signature and its is asking for a passwork

    I am trying to sign a document that is protected from an university. It is asking me for a password to put in my electronic signature.  I don't have that password and it isn't the one for my account

    Hi Estella,
    It sounds like the university has disallowed signing in this particular document, unless you have  Document Permissions password. You will have to ask the person who created the document what the password is, so that you can sign the document.
    I wish I had a different answer for you--but there's no way around that without the document password.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Shutting down and restarting always ask for password in xfce4.4

    I'm having this problem, I have the sudoer file setup correctly as per the wiki instructions but this does not fix things. If I do 'visudo' in terminal and then try and restart or shutdown my computer it doesn't ask me for my password. But if I just restart and don't use visudo, xfce will ask for my password when trying to shutdown or restart. How can I fix this, it is very annoying? Thanks for any help.

    the preferred way to enable shutdown in xfce4.4 is to use hal. the shutdown helper will try hal first and then fall back to sudo, if hal doesn't work.
    to enable shutdown via hal, make sure the hal daemon is running and add your user to the 'power' group.
