Forgotten iPhone 4S password and no access to iTunes backup?
When I was traveling in Spain this summer, I got both my iPhone 5 and laptop stolen. I hadn't synced to iCloud because I'm an idiot, and I've been doomed to using my mom's computer and an iPhone 4 with about 20% of the contacts I used to have on my old iPhone 5. Then I remembered I had an old iPhone 4S (so many iPhones, I know) that I had before the 5 which had a majority of the contacts on it. Probably 95%. I figured I could back up this iPhone 4S to my current laptop's iTunes, and then restore the current iPhone 4 I'm using from the back up of the 4S. But I had a password on this old iPhone and I've tried all the ones I usually use to no avail. I haven't used this iPhone since May probably and can't remember the PW. It says I need to connect to the last iTunes I synced it to and restore… The only problem is that is *** gone with the win AKA with some Spainard who stole my laptop on my *** birthday (I'm bitter, clearly).Is there a way I can bypass this iPhone's password without reseting it? Because that would defeat the purpose and I'd have no access to my old contacts… I'd even pay to have it unlocked if the price was reasonable. Seriously I think I had probably 1, 000 - 1, 200 contacts before and now I have like 100. I'm dying!
Heh, well too bad! Sucks for you
I've the identical problem; I do believe it's asking for the encryption password, though in my case, could not recall encrypting the backup and I haven't entered it in Splash ID. I ended up using an external program to decrypt the password - "iPhone Backup Unlocker" It worked like a charm.
