HT1766 What if I forgot my password for the backup? I don't see a forgot password button.

I put a password for my backup months ago and now I don't remember it. I rectently went on vacaction and my iPhone was backed up to iCould. While I was on vcation i started to get notifcations saying that there was no more space in cloud. I kept on ignoring it. Now I want to back it up to my mom's mac, and I need the password, but I don't know the password. Please help me out. Thank You. Sincerely, Saad Jaber.

If you don't know the password then you cannot use the backup.  That is the point of the passcode.

    I forgot the password for the backup, how to reset?

    There is no way to reset. Once you have forgotten the password for the backup, you can no longer use that backup. You will need to delete that backup and remove the checkmark by Encrypt backup so you would be able to use backups again.

  • I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!

    I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!  Can anyone help??

    You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes.  Then you entered a password.
    It would be that specific password it is asking for.

    @Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
    BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
    Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up.

  • I need a password for the backup copy

    I need a password for the backup copy

    A time machine backup that was encrypted cannot be opened without the password.. there is no backdoor.. if you lost the password the backup is useless.
    If you mean something else.. try being explicit as to what backup you need a password for and how you think we would know it.

    have an ipod and then got the wife an iphone4. all passwords are screwed up. she can not access playstore cuz she doesn't have password. i can not get find any help on how to get or update a password for the ipod. and then get her a separate password for her iphone. we need to save her photos, music, etc to ? icloud and the phone stuff to verizon cloud? so when she gets her new Iphone6 she can have all her "stuff" back on the new phone. hope this makes sense. please offer suggestions here or at [email protected] thanks for your help!

    Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.

  • HT1766 I am trying to restore my new iphone from a previous backup but itunes is asking for the backup password. But I never had one.

    itunes is asking for a password for the backup that I did not set. I can NOT set up my new iphone and restore it from an old backup. What can I do?

    This message is asking for the password that was added when the backup was first created IF you don't have this passcode you will be unable to restore from this backup.
    Good luck Friend.

  • Password for encrypted backup of device

    I need help to change the type of encryption for my iPhone and iPad backups in itunes. I have tried all the passwords I ve used in years and have no clue. Somewhere in Support I found an instruction that did not lead to clearing the password. It did send me to backup to iCloud and do a restoere from there. But this is not what I am trying to acheive. I already was backing up to iCloud. If I need to do a restore from a backup in iTunes on my PC I cannot do it because I cannot provide a correct passowrd for the encrypted backup.
    Can anyone help me with a solution?

    If the user cannot remember the password for the backup, the backup is useless.  There is no way to reset or remove the password requirement.
    If the user did not enable backup encryption, the backup is corrupt.
    In other words, the backup is no good without the password, delete it and move on with life.

  • I tried to update my ipod and had to back up on computer. I never created a password for the back up but now I can't get into my ipod

    I am locked out of my iPod. I tried to update the iPod so I could download a song I just bought. Had to back up the library on my computer. After I installed the software and updated the iPod, iTunes is asking for the password for the backup, but I never typed a password. Now I can't get into my iPod at all.

    That happens some times.

    suresh.m2015,
    It's going to be impossible for anyone in this forum to help with your issue if you don't provide any more detail about your environment and Apex installation. However, from your post it looks like the Apex database objects are missing or invalid.
    Did you follow the Apex installation guide step by step? For example, did you run apexins.sql?
    It's important to follow the documentation. The script you are running to change the admin user password should not be run until after the Apex installation is complete.

  • I forgot the password for the security copie, what can i do?

    i forgot the password for the security copie, what can i do?

    Unlocking iPod
    You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
    * Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
    * Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
    If you can't unlock iPod using either of these methods, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to iPod.
    If you want to change the primary computer that your iPod is associated with, do this:
    1. Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
    2. Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
    3. Open iTunes and synchronize.
