Lost my backup: password is incorrect

I have lost all my memories updating to the next iOS system.
I have never put a password to my old iPh backup, but iTunes,
without being asked, tells me that I have to insert one.
That's devastating. Everything's lost. Someone knows how to fix this problem?
I've tried old passwords, with or without caps letters, 0000, 00000, 1234, 12345, 9999, click cancel, renewing a new AppleID password  but nothing worked. I've tried also the trial version of Elcomsoft password recovery tool (= password don't exists)
I've a Windows 7 machine.
Please help me (photos, numbers, notes), maybe exists a sort of password.
That's really unpleasant since I'm a physician and lots of documents were important and private informations.

iTunes does not and can not set up password protection for your iPhone's backup, which must be entered twice for confirmation.
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air with iOS devices. Never a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data.
Notes can be synced with a supported application on your computer as well.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Unless you have a good friend on the CIA or law enforcement with state of the art encrypted password detection equipment, consider your backup and the data within as gone.

  • HT201269 my backup password is incorrect. how do i reset this?

    how do i get around the password to unlock my phone backup? it keeps telling me my password is incorrect!

    If you have forgotten your backup password, you'll have to set up your phone as new device without using the latest backup after that and start all over again.
    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.

  • How to find your lost backup password

    I restored my ipod touch ( 3rd generation ) and i cant remember my backup password. Can somebody please help me ..

    To find lost iPhone backup password, you can do as the following steps:
    The first step: Get tool "iPhone Backup Unlocker" via Google search then setup it and run it. It will show you import your saved backup file.
    The next step: Choose your right Attack Type and do the particular settings
    Totally, you will find 3 modes to pick out: Brute-force Attack (try all possible character combinations), Brute-force with Mask Attack (Knowing some symbols in the password) and Dictionary Attack (one`s own dictionary or use import default dictionary)
    The third step: Crack iPhone backup password After choose your suitable attack mode, afterward you cost minimum time for you to find password and have lost data in your phone!

  • I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

    Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
    Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
    Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
    iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

    It's not stored anywhere, so unless you can remember it or find where you write it down, then you won't be able to restore to that backup. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 (which applies to iPads as well as iPhones) :
    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.

  • Messages keeps saying that password is incorrect

    My Messages on my Mac worked fine and all of a sudden they stopped working. Now every time I try to log in it tells me that the password is incorrect. Ive tried using my appleID password, my gmail password and I've set up the two-step verification and used the generated password and copy and pasted that and it still didn't work. Any suggestions on what this might be?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I am setting up my new iPhone 5s with back up from iCloud but only my expired applied is recognised. even though i put in the original correct password it is not accepted as message comes up that "your apple id or password is incorrect". I am stuck.

    I am setting up my new iphone 5s using a back up from icloud. Problem arises when asked for Apple id and password the second time for store purchases. It shows my old expired Apple id (my old email address). There is no option to change the id and even when I put in the correct password for the old id (used originally) it kicks me out with the message ""Your Apple ID or password is incorrect" .. this is true  as my apple id is wrong but I cant change it. Anyone know what I should do. Dont have access to my old deleted email account. Thanks
