What Password to restore to a new phone?

I am trying to set up a new phone from my backed up phone in itunes. It is asking me for a password. WHAT password is it? It is not my Apple ID pw, that is not working.
Thank you in advance.

That means you have encrypted your backup. so when you first created a iTunes backup for iPhone you checked encrypt back up which made you put in a password to protect the backup. so at this point in order to restore that back up you have to put in that correct password. refer to:

Finally got through to tech support and found someone who seemed to know what was going on, he walked me through and using appleid.applesupport got me to a point where i could get a new password for the apple id that kept showing up.
I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated

Iphone 3GS was dropped and will not turn on or respond to USB connection. Is there any way to extract the data off when it is not responding so that I can restore to my new phone?

The phone is physically intact, but you can see the LCD is cracked behond the glass. I have tried plugging it in, tried putting it on the charger, and resetting it using the off and home buttons, bit response. I don't need the phone to work, but I do need to be bale to back it up in order to restore to the new phone. Is there any way to extract the data or back up the hard drive without repairing the phone? Just curious what my options are before I spend cash trying to fix the phone and find out there was another way to get the data. Any thoughts here or should a good repair shop being able to create a backup somehow?

Im not going to be much help because I don't know of anything else to besides take it somewhere that fixes electronics and see if they can get it off some how maybe if you take it to an apple store they can do something to get your information.

I am due to upgrade my iPhone 3 to iPhone 5. I have icloud which co-ordinates my phone and mac what happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my contacts, notes, addresses etc. Do I have to disconnect icloud and how? What happens?

I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5. I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other. What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc. What is the procedure and step by step action? The new phone arrives - then what?

When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.

TS3297 "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services." What is this solution for the new phone to sync up with my iTunes acct?

Hi tadhunt,

I have a white screen on my iPhone. I've reset it and have also done restore through iTunes. Didn't work. Was wondering if i restored as a new phone will i loose my contacts

i have a white screen on my computers. I tried resetting it and it worked for a few minutes until it was put to sleep and then went back to white screen when i turned it back on. I tried resetting again and it did not work. I then did restore for itunes. it didn't work. was wondering if i did restore, as a new phone set up in itunes will i loose my contacts. just want to make sure before i try in the event i have to buy a new phone want to be able to have the information to transfer.

restoring as new does just that. It will wipe your phone clean just as if you just bought it.
If you've been using your iPhone as recommended, you've been synching your contacts to your computer to a contact manager such as Outlook or Address Book, or you've been synching your contacts with a cloud service like MobileMe or Google. Your contacts should be safe in one of those locations.

Unfortunately you can't restore an incomplete backup.

I have backed up my old phone to itunes, however, when I try to restore data to new phone it is saying the password is incorrect but I can get into my itunes account with my password so I am doing something wrong?

I'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)

Help- erased my iPhone through Find my iPhone (as it was stolen) but now I can't see how to restore to my new phone!

My iPhone 4 was recently stolen, so I erased it via the Find my iPhone app. I'm planning to get a new one and will want to restore it so it has all the data and setting from my old phone, but when I log into iTunes my old device isn't showing in the device list. If it's not showing in the device list how can I restore the content to my new phone?

Thanks for your very helpful reply. It's just what I needed after the stress and upset of having my phone and indeed my entire handbag stolen. I was under the impression that this was a forum to get help, but with people like you around apparently not!

Why would it? Devices only appear in the list when they are connected to iTunes either physically via a cable or via Wi-Fi.
Actually, that's wrong. Maybe you should check your facts before you post rude and incorrect replies!

Icloud wont take my username and password to set up my new phone?

You should be able to. If your new phone is within the 90-day free support window or you purchased AppleCare, contact support for help by clicking Get Started here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

Can't restore to my new phone

Hello all, well I got apple to give me another iphone because of the 3.1 troubles. Well my new phone won't restore with my phone contact list. So I've lost all of my phone numbers. I tried going to edit/preferences/devices and choosing a backup date in itunes but since my new phone has a new IMEI number it will not let me pick the date I need to back up and get the info. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this to retrieve my phone list? Please any help. Thanks

Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored smoothly. Still getting a "no service" message in the upper left corner of new phone. Help?.....

Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
Where did you get the iPhone?

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, and/or there are a number of free email accounts that provide for syncing contacts over the air in addition to syncing other data over the air such as with an Apple iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
