The only thing you can do is drop your backups and plug your device to your computer to make another backup.

    Ragazzi, io ho avuto lo stesso problema ieri sera. Dopo svariati tentativi, leggedo su di un altro post simile sempre in questa comunità. La password richiesta non è altro che la password di accesso del vostro pc. Lasciate perdere quella user dell'id apple ecc io ho fatto mille tentativi. Appena immessa la password della macchina il ripristino è partito correttamente ed ora il mio iphone 4 funziona di nuovo!

  • Reset encryption password for NEW iPhone backups

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an iPhone and iPad which are currently working perfectly.  However during testing I figured out that I somehow lost my iTunes backup encryption password.  As such I figured I would just change the backup password, delete the old backups, and create NEW backups for which I do know the password to and all would be good (and ready for a future device failure.) 
    However it appears that iTunes will not allow you to change or disable the encryption password for NEW backups without first knowing the old encryption password.  Does anyone know if a way around this?
    Thank you for your time.

    Thanks!

    You can possibly check your keychain file to see if you saved the password there.

  • Got free redemption code for ML but no password to unlock the document

    How long it will take to receive the password to unlock the redemption code document, I received my code after 7 dats from apple but still can't open it without the password. Does anyone have a clue?

    Your best bet would be to call Apple support.  I don't think there's much help fellow users can give you with this problem.

  • Disable the "enter a password to unlock the disk" prompt

    is there a way to disable the "enter a password to unlock the disk" prompt? My macbook has 2 logical drives, one of them is encrypted, and everytime I start the Mac os x it pops up with that prompt.
    Any help is appreciated!

    You would have to create the file /etc/fstab with an entry to prevent the volume from mounting automatically. That's advanced system hacking that I don't recommend, but if you want to do it, see the fstab(5) man page for instructions (you must be shell-literate to do this.) Otherwise you're going to be prompted.

  • Enter a password to unlock the disk???

    I've been using a Seagate portable backup for my Time Machine backup.  I noticed it wasn't recognizing the disk so I unplugged it (got the "disk was not ejected properly" one time) and plugged it back in.  Then I clicked on the little clock in my menu bar to open Time Machine and when I clicked on Set Preferences I got a pop up with a little house icon with a dial in the middle and the message"enter a password to unlock the disk.  I tried entering what I thought was my password (same one as what locks my computer) and it froze.  What is going on-?  HELP!!!!

    Hmm. Another good question... i don't remember!? It now contins two partitions; _backup, which is Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) and Owners Enabled: Yes, and a partition labeled Data which is also Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) but Owners Enabled: No.
    From this discussion it is apparent that the _backup partition is the one needing a password, none of which I use(d) works.

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

  • PLEASE HELP  Forgot my admin password for os x Yosemite

    hello every one i really need  help. i forgot my admin password and i really need the stuff which is inside can anyone please help??? i already checked online  but i did not get what  i need cuz  of this photo i did cheek the box of resting my password with an apple id.

    Boot from the Recovery Partition and reset your password from there.
    Here’s how:
    1/ Make sure your computer is completely shut down.
    2/ You’ll have to be quick next: Press the Mac’s power button. As soon as you either hear the loud chime, or see the display light up - usually after a second or 2 - on your keyboard press [cmd] + [r] Keep these keys on your keyboard pressed until you either see an Apple Logo with a loading bar or a spinning gear.
    After a few minutes, you’ll be presented with a Utilities screen. This is the Recovery partition. If this step is already giving you problems, try using a USB-keyboard. It doesn’t have to be an Apple-keyboard. If you have a Windows-tailored keyboard laying around, use the “Windows-flag” key in stead of the [cmd]-key and it should also work.
    3/ Find the menu called “utilities” in the top left corner of your computer’s display. It’s in between the menus “edit” and “window” Don’t be confused with the menu called “os x utilities” 
    Choose Terminal. A somewhat old-fashioned looking window will pop up, waiting for a text command from you. This is the Terminal.
    After the # type: resetpassword and press return. Note that there is no space between ‘reset’ and ‘password’ 
    What you’ll see next is an rectangular window that gives you the option to reset passwords. Set a new password for all the users that you need.
    We’re ready to reboot your Mac now. Click on the Apple Menu and choose “startup disk” Choose to boot from “Macintosh HD” Please let us know if this solved your issue, or if the steps above did not work, or could not be performed for some reason.
