HT4946 how to reset backup password in itunes

Hi,
How can I reset my backup password in iTunes.

If you can't remember the password for a backup, you can't use that backup. There is no way around it.

    There is no reset if you can't remember it. You'll have to restore as a new phone & delete your existing backups & start over. I'd suggest you try & remember it.

    Well, there ya go. The requirement to encrypt your backups has been done by a profile installed on your phone when you setup the Exchange account. The only way around this is to delete the account & profile from your phone.
    Try your Exchange password or Domain password.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

    As you have OS X Mountain Lion, try resetting the password from Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101
    It looks like OS X was reinstalled. After resetting the password, you will be able to log in and use your MacBook Pro

  • How to reset master password?

    Hi Experts,
    I have installed NW CE 7.1 and NWDS 7.1. It got installed successfully. During installation it asked me for the master password that will be used for all users. I have provided the password as "password1". But now it is not working for any of the users when I try to login. I tried with users "j2ee_admin" and "SAP*".
    Please help me to figure out what could be the problem. Or how to reset the password.
    Thanks in advance.

  • JustAnswer has asked me to answer your question -- "Apple TV: how to reset WiFi password. I do not recall the" -- because it falls within my area of expertise. I just need a few more details about your situation and I will get to work!

    JustAnswer has asked me to answer your question -- "Apple TV: how to reset WiFi password. I do not recall the original PW am hitting a brickwall and I am ready to jump off!  Please advise- many thanks

    1)Your going to have to go to the manufacture's website for the orginal password. Once you have that you will have to setup you network again.
    2)After your network is setup again you will go to general setting menu on the ATV. Select the Network option then Configure Wifi option. It will take a momment and load all the WIFI networks in you area.  Once you selected your network, it will prompt you to enter the password.

    Well, you can't, if that's the case. The requirement to encrypt your backup can be enforced by setting up an Exchange account on your phone, if you have such.
