HT201269 i forgot my password for i phone recovery backup

Hi,
I have a replacement i phone 5 and I forgot my password for i phone recovery backup.

If you made a backup and chose to encrypt it with a password, if you do not remember that password, then you cannot use that backup any longer. There is no way to recover or reset that password. Your only choice is to restore from an older backup if one exists, or to set up as a new device.

  • I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

    The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

  • I forgot my password for my Wi-Fi hot spot

    I thought I had memorized it.  But apparently not. How can I reset the phone without losing my photos, aps, and such? What is a "soft reset?"

    Uh? You titled this that you forgot the password for your wifi hotspot and yet it is posted in the DROID X space. The body of your post is referring to a phone. Even you were using the mobile hotspot feature of the phone it wouldn't/shouldn't be the same password to get into the phone if you use a security option on the phone's lock screen.

  • Forgot startup password for my Satellite Z930

    I forgot my password for my z930. I bought the laptop from a market, it was working fine then I put a password on it. And now I have forgotten the password.
    I heard there is a response code that I can get, there was a shift tab thing I did which let me enter a response code, I was told to clal toshiba and then would give me a code to reset it.
    Is this true?

    It is not so simply as you think. If BIOS password must be reset it must be done by authorized service and you must also prove that your notebook belongs to you.
    As far as I know there are different techniques for BIOS password removal. I dont know which one will be used for your notebook but fact is that they will not tell you this so simply at phone or mail.
    You must bring your notebook to the service.
    Call nearest service and ask for help. They will explain you how it works.

  • Forgot my password of my phone , can you help to open my phone?

    i m forgot my password of my phone , can you help to open my phone?

    Hi 2081971!
    You can try the last four digits of your mobile number if you have not set up a password.  Customer Service CANNOT reset that password for you. We do not have remote access to your personal information on your phone including passwords. I don't see why type of phone you have. The best thing to do would be a master reset. Search our support page for "Master reset" for your device type.
    Have a great day!

  • 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.
