I am trying to restore a backup and itunes is asking for a password, but i don't remember being prompted to provide a password when the backup was created
I have been trying to use my Apple ID password but it is not valid for the request.
You were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after checking "Encrypt backup". It has been using the same password ever since. If you have a corporate MS Exchange account on the phone and the administrator required the phone to be encrypted then that also resulted in the backup being encrypted, but again you would have been prompted for a password the first time you backed up after installing the Exchange account. So think back and start trying passwords that you might have used in response to a password prompt at that time, especially if you didn't read the request carefully.

my friend activated my new ipad4 with icloud but now he is died and my device asking for icloud account but i don't know what i shall do.. please help me.. my imei number is 01*********544
<Personal Information Edited by Host>There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
There is no workaround.
Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
AppleId you used to log into this forum?

I am trying to install new software on my Imac and my keychain asks for my password, I type it in, it says it is wrong, I do it again, wrong, it gives me a hint, same one I have been using, wrong again, so I cannot get the new soft ware to download, how do I get my passwork on the keychain to work or how do I change it?
What model iMac and what version of the Mac OS is installed? "About this Mac" from the Apple menu is a good place to start.

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 -
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.

everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!
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.

I tried to download elements 13 and my computer asks for an app, what is my computer missing? Windows 8
That's how it works when you have multiple apple ids being used in iTunes. And this isn't new.
