I forget my backups password what can i do?

I forget my backups itunes password what can i do?

Hello Nono1979,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you have forgotten the password for your encrypted backup the data is unrecoverable.
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will 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.

you could restore it, and then sync everything you had back onto it.
If you dont want to do that, download ifunbox and i think there is a way you can delete the password through ssh.

Updated iPad2 with OS5 but forget backup password, how do I retrieve password or go back to before update since I saved password on iPad

Updated ipad2 with OS5 but forget my backup password, can I reset from previous setting and try again since my password is somewhere on my iPad?

If you want to restore to a backup then you need to know what the password for that backup is - so no, you are stuck in a loop, as in order to find your password that you've got stored in that backup, you will need to enter the password so that you can restore to that backup

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.)

I forget my iphone password what can i do?

i forget my iphone password what can i do?

If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

What do i do when you forget your lockscreen password

What do i do when i forget my lockscreen password for my ipod?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

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.

The above comes from this article:

I made a backup for my old iphone 4 on my computer and now i want to restore my data to my new iphone 5 but i forgot the backup password. what should i do?

i made a backup for my old iphone 4 on my computer and now i want to restore my data to my new iphone 5 but i forgot the backup password. what should i do?

you can't recover iOS crypted backup password, for security purposes. your backup is useless. sorry.
if you still have your old iPhone, make a new back-up

What worked to find my backup encryption password that I didn't set!

As so many are dealing with, went to set-up new iphone 5 from my iphone 4 backup that was very important to me. I got the dreaded backup password hault. I tried everything! Different pc didn't work, nothing but a circle of nothing without that password! I DID NOT set a password, and don't care what anyone says, I'm 100% sure I didn't!! It is a glitch! If you ever do one backup without being sure the encryption box is unchecked on the summary page that comes up after clicking on your device name in the side list of iTunes, you are stuck! If you didn't purposely check it and pick your password, it somehow randomly picks one from somewhere that relates to you. I know it seems as tho that isn't possible for program to assign a random password that just so happens to relate to you, but it does. I've set many of passwords in my life, and have NEVER/would ever use that one! I've never had this problem previously! After getting an official nothing can be done from all levels of Apple support, I took advice on forums of using the elcomsoft software. I read that the free trial gives you the first 2 letters. So, I downloaded the free trial of elcomsoft. It took just few minutes to download, it was super easy. You open the software, choose backup, pick your backup from the list (it will show with a lock beside it), then whatever button tells it to go (don't remember what button said but its dummy proof). About halfway thru, it showed "li..". Four character starting with li, well that was obviously my name "lila". I didn't even run it all the way to verify if it gives you more than 1st two letters. That was it!! I tried everything I could imagine including window login and lock screen code for many hours before that with no luck. My whole family uses basically same password for everything with some variation if they require a capital or character. So, I know I didn't set it as that. So, try the free trial of elcomsoft!!

Are you trying to restore from an encrypted backup or are you trying to make an encrypted backup?
If the backup you are trying to restore from is encrypted, you will have no choice but to restore to factory settings instead.

Anyone have any idea what to do if you can't remember backup password for iPone in iTunes?

I can't remember my backup password in iTunes. No problem at present as everythings working fine, but useless if something does go wrong. Wonder if I can delete the old backup and start again or if it will still remember old password. No sign of the password in Keychain utilities.

What should i do when i forget my reset password

What should i do when i forget my reset password??

With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
With 10.8 or 10.9 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
of actions, choose Terminal. When Terminal opens type:
resetpassword
and press enter.
You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case. Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box. Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset. Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.
