Password to unlock iphone backup

Need to backup my iPhone. It asks to enter the password to unlock my iPhone backup. where do i find it?

"enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file", I also got this message to my iPhone 5. I searched many suggestions from yahoo and tried many ways.
It was tool "iPhone Backup Unlocker" helped me unlock encrypted iPhone backup file password at last. Although it took me a cup of tea time and cost my money, I thank to it for saving my energy and much time!

  • Just got an iphone 5s, I'm trying to transfer info from old phone but it's for a password to unlock iphone backup, I;ve never had a password for this before. How do I get the password?

    Hi,
    I've just bought an Iphone 5s, I'm trying to sync it to transfer all my info from my iphone 4 but when I click on continue to restore from this back up, it's asking for a password. I didn't have a password for the previous phone. Can anyone help?

    If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, & you don't know the encrypted passcode, the backup will be unusable & you will not be able to recover any data from it. Encrypting an iPhone backup is not done automatically. You, or someone, had to elect to encrypt it to begin with, and no, there is no default passcode.
    Did you have an Exchange account on your iPhone 4? It is common for Corp. Exchange accounts to require an iPhone backup be encrypted. If you did, you might try your Exchange password.

    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!

  • How do I find the password to unlock iphone backup file?

    I upgraded to 5.0 and when trying to restore it asks for the backup file password. What is this? I have tried my apple id password and Itunes password and it doesn't work? I have nothing on my phone right now.

    You may have an encrypted backup. If you don't know the password, your data may be lost on that backup.
    But, there is another way.
    If you have multiple backups, shift-click restore from backup, and I believe you should get a menu listing your backups, I hope this helps you.
    You can try certain other backups and such to restore too, they may or may not be encrypted, if they are, then I suppose you're out of luck.
    If you find one of your backups that does not have encryption, you're good to go until you remember or retrieve your password.
    In this case, is this a lost or stolen iPhone? Counterfeit, brought off eBay, etc?
    If so then I cannot help you on that, nobody can.
    If you have a passcode lock set on your iPhone, unlock it first (to tell iTunes that you own the phone of course) then disconnect and reconnect if necessary.
    But like I said, if it's not your iPhone then we cannot help you. Sorry.

    Then you won't be able to use that backup. You might as well delete it and start over.

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

  • 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!

  • HT201210 how to unlock iphone & backup if I can't remember the password?  pls help

    tried to restore last backup as well as restore iphone setting to original, still failed, pls help & advise.... big thanks

    Not true. If you restore the phone on the computer that it was last backed up to it will remove the passcode. See

  • HT1414 what do i do if i forget the password to unlock my backup information?

    i restored my iPhone and and get get all my stuff back without this passwod but i have no idea what it is anymore... someone please help me!!!

    Nothing we can do to help you if you can't remember your password.  There's no way around this.  If you can't remember your password, you can't use the backup.  Pure and simple.

  • HT1414 I want to restore backup, but it asks for a password to unlock iPad backup. I never created one, where do I retrieve the password?

    I never created a password, how do I retrieve it?

    If you never turned on backup encryption and set a password this would indicate the backup is corrupt.
    Delete the backup and create a new one.
