I'm trying to find iPad2 password to restore backup.

I have an ipad2 7.0.4 and have had issues with access code and need to restore a backup. As I begin in iTunes, file/devices/restore from backup, a pop up says. 'Choose a backup to restore' so I click on 'Janis Hudson's iPad' hit restore and another pop up says 'enter the password to unlock your ipad backup'...nothing works. I use a standard 5 password variations and none will let me in to begin the back up.  I have no idea which password they asking for.  Thanks for your help. 

Is this your iPad and have you had it since it was new? Or did you just purchase it used?

    If you have a corporate Exchange account set up on the phone, the administrators can require encrypted backups. Try using your Exchange password.

  • IPad2 IOS 7 updated, now locked out, there is no password. Restore backup does not work. HELP

    I updated my iPad2 to OS 7 last night and chose to NOT use a passcode because I have an important mtg today and didn't want any problems.
    NOW... I am locked out of my iPad2 and spending two hours trying to get this resolved. My day is almost ruined now.
    HOW DO I UNLOCK MY IPAD2 WITHOUT A PASSCODE ??????
    I had a full schedule previously, and this is KILLING me. I connected my iPad2 to my computer and it synced. I cannot use "restore backup" because of find my ipad app. I cannot turn off "find my ipad" because I am locked out of the machine. I am SO frustrated and the lack of support is killing me as well.

    The way to resolve this issue is to restore the phone. Now if you do not have a back up in iCloud or iTunes you will lose your content. If you backed up after the passcode lock was set up on the phone, you will have to choose to set up as new and lose all your content. Now iTunes will state that it cannot recognize or restore the phone as it has a passcode lock on it.
    1)In order to get past this you will hold down the home and power buttons down at the same time.
    2)When the apple symbol comes up on the device you will release only the power button.
    3)Next an iTunes symbol, arrow, and usb cord will show up on the phone. At this time release the home button. 4)iTunes on your computer will prompt you with a message stating "iTunes has detected an "device" in recovery mode." You will click okay and then restore the phone.
    5)Allow the download to process, times will vary.
    6)Upon completion, go through the set up on the phone and pay close attention to the pages that you are on.
    7)There will be a page prompting you to put in a passcode. You will have the option to skip it if you do not want it on your device.
    8) And finally, I have spoken with James and these are the steps to resolve the issue. Please do not call him as currently he is being overwhelmed with calls and stated that he cannot take calls from customers that he has not worked with already. Please feel free to send me any questions you have as I will also be able to provide you steps to resolve your issue.

  • HT4972 forgoten my password for restore backup

    Hi,
    Ive just done my IOS updating, unfortunately ive forgotten my password to restore the back up.
    Anyone could help? Please.
    Thanks

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I cant find my photos after restoring backup

    I deleted my contacts by mistake to I restored the backup on my computer but then I found out that the photos where lost after the restoring so what should I do now to get them back ?!!

    Because Photos, like iPhoto and Aperture before it, replaces the Finder for anything to do with your pictures.
    Use the Media Browser for uploading. You can access it from whatever website you're using:

  • Restrictions password after restoring backup

    I needed to change the restrictions password on the phone.  I followed the procedures using Itunes.  I then changed the restrictions password.  However when I restored the phone to get my contacts, it overwrote the new password that I just created.  How do I get my contacts back and keep a new password?

    If you forgot your Restrictions passcode you have three options:
    - Restore from a backup made before there was a Restrictions passcode.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod. Restoring from backup just restores the Restrictions passcode if one was in the backup.
    - See: It is not easy.

  • Need to find the password for the home wi-fi connection in order to connect iPhone

    I'm trying to find the password for the home wi-fi system and can't locate the paper on which it is written.  I thought there was a way to find it in the system preferences but am striking out.  The home server is a Linksys unit, not an Airport base station.  I am on an older iMac running 10.4.11.  Thanks for the assist.

    Found the answer.  :-)

  • HT4946 i did not assign password for backup before, and now it ask for password for restore, how can i recover?

    how can i know the password for restoring backup or i change it , knowing that i did not assign it before.
    thanks

    Well, you or someone had to elect to encrypt your backup. This can also be enforced by an Exchange account if you have such on your phone. Regardless:
    If on a Mac, and you elected to save such to your Keychain, you can recover it from your Keychain. Otherwise, you can't.
    While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.

  • I just got my ipod and i have networks but it wont let me make a password i have tried to find my wi-fi password but i can't is there an app where i can get wi-fi off of it please some one help me i can't do anything on my ipod

    i just got a ipod and i can't find my wi-fi password im so mad i have alot of networks but it wont let me make a password and i have tried to find my wi-fi password is there an app or something that can help me get wi-fi on my ipod i feel so sad knowing that i cant even do anything with it

    You need to contact the people who administer the networks to get the passwords for the networks. If there was such an app as you are asking for then passwords for wifi networks would be worthless.

    How much of a hurry are you in, and are you considering upgrading to Lion?
    File Vault on Snow Leopard only encrypts home folders you select, and doesn't work well with Time Machine.
    But Lion will have "full disk encryption" of local or external disks.  See File Vault 2 here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html
