Isthere a way to recover the password for backup?

I was trying to restore a backup to my phone and I forgot the password to do so. Is it possible to get that password and then change it?

You can get it into Recovery Mode or DFU Mode, which resets it completely and lets iTunes be able to restore it. You can follow these steps to get your device in Recovery Mode:

Then you can restore the backup you want to restore. Be careful; Recovery mode will erase the device.

  • What is the password for backup files

    Just updated my iPhone & lost my contacts & calendar. It is requesting my backup file password; I don't recall setting one. Please help! Is there a way to obtain this?

    If you didn't set the password, and it isn't possible to' override or bypass it (there wouldn't be much use in having one if it could), then have you got an Exchange email account on the iPhone ? If so then it's possible that the account administrator has set the password for you (e.g. to protect potentially sensitive work content) - in which case you could try contacting them.

    If you have forgotten the password to that Apple ID, then go to My Apple ID and you will see and option to reset your password. You will need to answer the security questions or if you have a rescue email address set up you can get it sent to that email to reset the password. Check out the article for more information.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • I have a skype name but no way to get the password reset

    All it does when i sign in, i click the forgot password option, and it always redirects me to the live account website when i know my live account info just not my skype info.  I know my skype name is right because i have it on my phone but my password isnt working i guess on the skype website. is there any way to get the password for a skype account with a skype name? even when i recover emails it always sends me to the live site which does nothing as i know the info to my live accounts. my skypes arent linked to my live accounts and even when i get in my live accounts it asks me to  sign in with my skype name and its making me angry. Skypes website doesnt seem to function correctly. How do i get this fixed?

    I've been having this exact issue and would love to know of a solution.

  • I am trying to recover my password for my second apple id.

    I apparently have two apple id's. I am trying to recover the password for the second id. When i go through "iforgot" i am asked for my birthdate but then i am told the birthdate entered is not accurate so i cant get past that screen. Also when i try to have it emailed to me, i never receive it. I know the id is valid because i use the id on some of my other apple products. If i do a search for the id i only get the infor for the promary (first) apple id. Thanks for your help.

    Have you looked in the spam folders for the email?

  • Is there a way to create a password for Firefox so Firefox is denied access to the internet without this password?

    Is there a way to create a password for Firefox to deny Firefox access to the internet?

    There is the Profile Password extension, but it is easily bypassed by using the Firefox SafeMode.

    Another thing you can do is to set your Homepage to a website that you have a password logon saved for and use the Master Password feature. It won't completely stop someone else from using the internet but it will slow them down or make it appear they need a password for access.
