What passwords do i put for my encrypt iPhone backup?

My friends recently locked my phone to where it say "iphone is disabled" can someone help me with what passwords i use "encrpyt iPhone backup"? i put a password && it says you must neeed to type your phone passcode & it doesnt give me a slot to type my passcode in.. & i really need to change my passcode or atleast get into my phone!

No messages are apprearing in the left side bar, also when I type a contact nothing appears. When I try to send a msg, it tells me an account is not logged in, so I ensure it is, but oddly enough my me.com account is the first to appear and I haven't used that in years. Not only that, I removed it from msgs on the Mac altogether. So strange! Thanks for your help!!

Hello agentlesley,
It sounds like your backup is encrypted. If you do not know that password, then you would have to set up your iPhone as a new device.

When I download Adobe Reader, it asks for a password. It doesn't accept my Adobe password. What password is it searching for?

Then try leaving the password field blank and hitting enter. If that doesn't work, you have a password (and would be beyond the help available in the Adobe forums).

You would use your gmail password on your iPhone 5.

TS1398 when it shows the names to connect to for wifi what password are they asking for?

What password do they ask for to hook up to wifi in the house?

It is asking for the password for the wireless network. If you have not changed the settings for your router you may have been supplied with a default password on a card or booklet that came with it. If it is not you're network you may have to ask the owner for a password. If you changed the password when setting up your wireless router, you will need to remember or find it if you wrote it down.

HT2493 What format can I put for the icon?

I want to change the boring icon of the folder icon. But I tried to put the Jpeg format icon and I failed! What format can I put for the icon?

Are you trying to change one of the system level folder icons (so that every folder of that type uses your new icon) or specific folder icons for folders you have created?
The first requires special techniques that modify system level resources & is not recommended unless you know exactly what you are doing.
The second should work just like in the article.

How do I recover my password for restoring an iPhone backup using itunes?

I used the "encrypt backup" password protection feature in iTunes for my iPhone when I set it up years ago. I have a 3Gs, just downloaded and installed iOS5, and it's asking me for my password to restore the backup onto my iPhone with the new operating system only I forgot that specific password and there doesn't appear to be any "lost password" functionality. Please note, this is different than the standard Apple ID username and password...this is specific to encrypting iPhone backups in iTunes...I have my Apple ID username and password. Does anyone know if there is a way to recover or reset the password protected encrypt backup password so I can restore my latest backup and not have to start from scratch with everything...PLEASE?

Hey Gremlin,
Can you let me know if Apple fix the issue? I lost a heap of pics from when my daughter was born (well technically I still have them, it's just that they're unintelligible garble).
Oh and if you're worried about iTunes deleting your backup, they're located in your home account (if you're using a Mac). Just go to:
Macintosh HD/Users/<your_username>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/backup
Copy the files to another location and you should be right. I don't know how you get iTunes to recognise them if you put them back though, haven't tried that yet.
Regards,
Chris
PS. I've made a couple of posts about this, some of the info there may help. One thing though, I don't think the password is restricted to 4 digits as mentioned there. Can anyone confirm that?

I forgot my encrypt iPhone backup password

I lost my password to the encrypt iPhone backup. How do I reset it? I don't need to restore my phone, but I would like to be able to access my future backups in case something happens to my iPhone 4s. How do I reset it and if I can't reset it, what do I do next to make sure all my data is saved?

Hello AjaxTheCat,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the other possible passwords listed in the previous article did not work. I would recommend that you read this article.
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to 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.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Help! I forgot "encrypt iphone backup" password

Could anyone tell me what can i do as i forgot the password of "encrypt iphone backup" i have deleted the old itune and dl a new one, but it doesnot work! My iphone cannot synchonize with itune now! Help!
Thx a lot

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 do backups 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 will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device. But first, delete all iPhone backups listed under iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

What happened to your phone that you are trying to restore to a backup that is encrypted? If you have your contacts in iCloud, you can just turn iCloud back on when you get the phone working, if it isn't, and that will bring your contacts back. You won't need to do a restore from an iCloud backup if you were not doing an iCloud backup anyway. If you log into www.icloud.com and look at contacts, what do you see there?

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

#1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
#2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
#3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
#4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.
