Restore from computer needs password but don't know it

I'm trying to restore settings on to my iphone and it's asking for a password but it isn't my apple password, anyone know where I am supposed to get it?? HElp

It is the Password you setup for your encrypyed iPhone backups that you have in iTunes.
We can't help you with the password as it is local to you and your machine, only you can solve this.

  • Apple ID is *disabled for security reasons*, I know the username and password, but don't know the Security Questions and Recovery Email? Help!

    I used to have the @apple.com apple ID. Everything was working fine, but then one day I entered my password and it was incorrect. I tried to reset it but nothing was working. Then I tried to "forgot my Apple ID" on iForgot and found that it was automatically changed to @mac.com. I entered my Apple ID and Password but then it gave me "your Apple ID is locked for security reasons". I tried resetting my password but I don't think I had put any recovery email and apparently I entered a wrong Date of Birth.
    What should I do to re-access my Apple ID?
    Many thanks!

    Thank you randers4,
    I just got off the phone with apple.
    I have to call 800-MY-APPLE and try to verify my Apple ID using my old password and a serial number from a device on which I used my Apple ID. Oh and @apple.com never existed, I have no idea how it got on my phone :|
    Hope it works

  • Read text from file, created string, but don't know how to split string.

    I've been busy with a little application which should be able to save a (2d) array to a text file, and open it afterwards.
    I already completed both steps, but i'm stuck at the reading part.
    I'm not familiar with the load function, so i used Datainputstream, which i've converted to a String afterwards. The systemconsole shows the correct information when I put the string to the console, but now i want to split the string.
    For example, my console writes:
    FILE CONTENT=458,304,0,345,432
    ("FILE CONTENT=" has been manually added to the system.out)
    Because im not English, and i don't know what I should search for on the web in order to find this, i've come up here and created this post.
    I've got an object array which is 2-dimensional, and now i was wondering how i could "rebuild" my array array[x][c] in which the first number of my file content should be X and the other numbers should be put in [c].
    Offcourse, the ',' should be skipped.
    I do have read things about tokenizing and so on, but i think that every single letter is read then.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Ok, thanks for the reply.
    I feel a bit ashamed now, because my topic title contains the function i needed...
    So, assuming that i would have
    String content = "458,304,0,345,432";i could split this and put this in an array string using a code like
    String[] arry = null;
    array = content.split("\\.");I haven't tested the code yet, cause i'll go to bed soon, but will this split all at once and put it in the array or do i have to create a loop or something ?
    And is it possible to put number one using split in the array[x][v] on the x location and the others at the [v] location ? (the first number of each five has to be added to [x] and the other 4 to [v] )
    Again thanks for your reply, cause im a bit further this way in accomplishing what i want to reach :)

  • Palm Zire 31 sat idle for too long and then my hard drive crashed - I have recovered my palmOne files from the hard drive but don't know how to install to desktop?

    Since this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored to the desktop.  My handheld sat unused for a very long time, but my desktop calendar and contacts were current up until my hard drive crashed.  I was able to recover the PalmOne files from the crashed hard drive but all I can see are *.dat files.  When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension.  HELP!  I have the original installation CD. Thank you

    .dat are the actual working files Palm Desktop is looking for - you can't import them.
    Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the .dat files (that have more than 1k of data) over the existing address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I forget which existed on your device).

    If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

  • Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

    Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so.  Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards.  I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me.  that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer.  I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

  • I had my iPad 2 replaced by Apple today. All my backup was iCloud and so proceeded to restore from iCloud backup point but couldn't proceed as the new iPad needed iOS 7. How can I get I get around this?

    I had my iPad 2 replaced by Applestore today. On the new iPad I tried to restore from iCloud backup point but was told I was unable to do this as the new iPad needed to have the latest running system iOS 7 loaded. Is there a way I can do this so I can get my iCloud backup or do I need to go back to Applestore and get an iPad preloaded with iOS 7?

    If you feel comfortable you can do the Update to iOS 7 yourself and after you have successfully done that... then Restore your iCloud Back Up.
    If you are not comfortable in doing it yourself... Then go back to the Apple Store and get them to do it.
    They will be Happy to assist you.

  • I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up-but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. Please help

    I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

    Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
    Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

    Try restoring the backup again.  Your apps and other purchased media should have been restored from your backup if they were on your old phone when you backed it up.
