Velvet Jones Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 There are some apps that claim to be able to extract data from an encrypted iOS backup but that seems a bit shady to me. They probably just attempt to brute-force or dictionary attack the backup. I'd say you're out of luck. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312993-forgot-itunes-backup-password/#findComment-2250373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably just attempt to brute-force or dictionary attack the backup. I'd say you're out of luck. I tried iPhone Backup Extractor. When I selected the encrypted backup, it still asks me for password.

Sillyape Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 https://iforgot.apple.com/ It is not about Apple ID password. It is an iTunes backup password.

lukehammer Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Forgot iTunes backup password: You cannot restore an encrypted backup without a password. With iOS 11 or higher, you can create a new encrypted backup of your device by resetting your password. What does this do: 1. On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Reset. 2. Tap reset all settings and enter your iOS password. 3. Follow the steps to reset the settings. This will not affect your user data or password, but will reset settings such as display brightness, home screen layout and wallpaper. It will also delete your encrypted backup password. 4. Connect the device to iTunes again and create a new encrypted backup. You will not be able to use the previous encrypted backup, but you can use iTunes to back up your current data and set a new backup password. If your device uses iOS 10 or earlier, you won't be able to reset your password. In this case, try the following: If someone else has set up your device, ask for their password. Use iCloud backup instead of iTunes. If you don't have an iCloud backup, you can create a backup. Try using an older iTunes backup. you may also refer to this post to get your iTunes passcode recovery Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312993-forgot-itunes-backup-password/#findComment-2650627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
