Reset my backup password

I need to reset my backup password becasue I forget, please help me out to do this.
Thank You

If you could reset a lost passcode, anyone could, creating a major security breach.  Your only alternative is to restore the phone as new, and start over.  If you REALLY need to protect your backups with a passcode, write it down and DON'T LOSE IT!!

    i want reset my backup password

    If iCloud Backup is set to Off in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, it means that your iPod will not automatically back up to iCloud, but will automatically back up to your computer when you sync.  The only way you would risk losing data is if you have never synced with iTunes before.  If that's the case, you have to take special precautions to avoid losing data, as outlined in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

  • Reseting the Backup password

    Hey I forgot my password to my encrypted backup and while I still have everything on my Ipod I wanted to reset my backup so I can still use it and not be asked for a password, I don't know what I need to do to reset my backup settings so I can backup my Ipod so I can be able to successfully use it again when I would actually need to retrieve something. If someone can tell me how to do so I be very thankful

    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.

  • TS2529 how do you reset your backup password if forgotten?

    l

    You don't.
    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.

  • How do i get backup password if i forgot

    how can i reset my backup password

    It's not stored anywhere, the only way to get it or change it is to remember it.
    From iTunes: About iOS backups :
    When your backup is encrypted, you'll need to enter the password when enabling or disabling encryption or when restoring from the backup.
    Warning: Make sure it's a password that you'll remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

  • If I reset my admin password, will Time Machine backups be impacted?

    I have a Mac Mini, OS X10.6.8. I forgot my admin password, but I see I can reboot with specific commands to reset my admin password. Before I do this, I would like to know if files on my computer AND/OR backup files on my Time Machine will be impacted. Will all remain the same, no disrupt if I reset by rebooting and giving commands? Thanks!

    Time Machine won't be affected. Neither will your files, except the keychains, which will be reset to empty. You can't recover those without the password.

  • How do u reset my restore backup password?

    How do u reset my restore backup password?

    Hello Rissey,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The encrypted backup password stays unless you want to restore the device as new.
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
    You need the backup password to disable backup encryption or to restore from an encrypted backup.
    You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
    Leaving the password field blank
    Your Apple ID password
    Your computer account password, if you have one
    Email passwords you may have used
    Your Wi-Fi network password
    Website passwords you may have used
    A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it

    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
    Have a nice day,

  • Any updates on resetting itunes computer backup password?

    Are there any updates available on how to go about resetting the itunes backup password? I never set it to begin with so I have not idea what it is

    I am running LR in 2 PCs. a Sony VAIO laptop with Intel solo processor, 2 GB RAM. and a desktop with XP SP2 with 2 GB RAM. all the pics in a NAS device and a DB replicated in both PCs.
    No issues with Vista, other than most of the drivers for my peripherals are late. the driver for the EPSON 2200 was just released 2 weeks ago, the driver for the 32 bits CF PCMCIA reader is not ready so I used a workaround, etc. It will probably take one year before all the drivers and applications work well with Vista. LR works perfect for me on both OS and I am managing 10K pics so far.
    One tip: LR was rather slow on Vista... until I discovered that Norton Firewall was sucking up 30% of CPU power!. I turned Norton Firewall off ad Visa firewall on and LR is back running as fast as in the XP machine (where I also have Norton)... I guess Norton will release some fixes soon :-) So check out if the firewall (and the side bar) are consuming processing speed on your Vista machine.
    LR needs improvements and I am sure those improvements will come with time. But it works with Vista and I am super happy with LR today as I improved the speed of my workflow at least 5x versus Photoshop CS, as I mostly do just WB, exposure, metadata and cropping... when one works on stock photography and events photos, if you do more than that it is not worth it... and probably one needs to learn how to take better pics, not how to fix the pics with PS magic :-)

    How to reset backup password on my computer Itunes

    There is no reset if you can't remember it. You'll have to restore as a new phone & delete your existing backups & start over. I'd suggest you try & remember it.

  • TS4585 I forget my backup encription password what should i do to reset my iphone 5 encription backup password

    what can i do to reset my iphone 5 encription backup password? 

    I'm afraid you can't.  If you cannot remember the password, you will not be able to use the backup.  (That's why it was encrypted, so no one could use it without knowing the password.)
