LDAP : retreive the password from LDAP

Question

Hi,
I am trying to authenticate the user with the password that is entered by him with the password in LDAP. Basically i have to do a String comparison. I am able to retreive all the attributes set for that user but the password is retrieved as:
[B@867e89
I did a toString() for that but no change.
String s=attr.get().toString();I even tried to convert this String to a byte and then compare:
byte[] newUnicodePassword=null;
                             try {
                                   newUnicodePassword = s.getBytes("UTF-16LE");
                                   System.out.println("Checking 2  :" + newUnicodePassword.toString());
                              } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                   e.printStackTrace();
                              }But of no use.When i converted this byte array to a string it is the same encrypted characters.
So i could not compare with the password that is entered by the user.
Can anyone please tell why this is happening. And how i have to get the password from LDAP.
Thanks in advance.

You do not retrieve you passcode.
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

iOS: How to back up
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.
