I forget my ipod backup password on itunes

i whant to desactive ipod's backup but it need paassword and i forgot it! what should i do to fix it?

What does "desactive" mean in " desactive ipod's backup"?
If you created an encrypted iPod backup and forgot the password you assigned, you can restore from that backup. I order to make a backup in the future for yo iPod you will have to restore the iPod from factory settings/new iPod.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device."

    i have forget my iphone backup password in itune, any way to reset 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.

    Open iTunes. On the left you will see a Ringtones category. Open it. Drag the .mr4 file there. It will tell you the length of it, etc. You can then sync it into your iPhone.

  • TS5162 what is my ipod backup password??

    The password is whatever you set it to when you turned on encryption.

  • What is the default backup password in iTunes?

    I had to restore my iPod and I do not know the password.

    There is none. Unless you can guess the password (try ones used on the iPod already), you will have to restore to factory settings/new iPod unless you have another backup.
    Other users have reported some problem so you are not alone.

  • Anyone have any idea what to do if you can't remember backup password for iPone in iTunes?

    I can't remember my backup password in iTunes. No problem at present as everythings working fine, but useless if something does go wrong. Wonder if I can delete the old backup and start again or if it will still remember old password. No sign of the password in Keychain utilities.

  • IPod touch backup password reset

    I'm trying to reset my iPod backup password, but I forgot the old one. I've tried all the passwords that I can remember that I've used for things like this, but none of them work. Is there a program to hack through the password or what?

  • Need to clear backup password

    I forgot my backup password on iTunes, and need a way to clear it.
    The last thing I tried was to backup to the cloud, reset to factory defaults, and then restore from the cloud. This still didn't clear the password off the phone.
    Now I'm to the point where I may manually copy off contacts and photos, reset to factory defaults, and then manually restore contacts and photos, and finally redone load all my applications.
    Does anyone know an easier way to clear off the darn password?

    Hello miked, if you go to this link If you forgot your Apple ID password it should be able to help you find your password. But if you want to log out then you just go into settings- iTunes and Appstore and then log out.

  • I forgot my encrypted ipad backup password

    I forgot my encrypted ipad backup password in itunes - ok but I know my ipad pass so I figured I'd just go to prefs >> devices, delete the old backup, and then just redo a whole backup and set a new pass. Should be simple, right? Nope! Stupid itunes keeps asking me for my **** old backup password... I don't know what it is, I just want to make that go away and have it do an entirely new backup! How do I do that?

    You must restore the iPad as a new device, there is no way around it. If you delete the old backup and try to backup again, the backup will still be encrypted.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

    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.

    You need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  That is the only choise.
