What password is this referring to?
I recently got a new iPhone. I backed up my old iPhone to my computer when my new phone said to connect to iTunes when I pressed restore from iTunes. Then, I hooked up my new phone to my computer and clicked,"Restore Backup." It asked me to choose a backup to restore, then I clicked my old phone, and it says to enter your password! I don't have a clue as to what "password" it's referring to, and I tried my computer user password, my old phone's lock screen password and my Apple ID password, but to no avail.
When you make a backup of iOS device using iTunes, you have the option to encrypt the backup with a password. Connect you phone to computer, run iTunes, in the Backup section, you should see an option "encrypt iphone backup".
- My iPhone is locked and I can't remember the password it only lets me try one password before locking down now it says connect to iTunes? What am I supposed to do? I have connected to iTunes but it says it needs me to answer on my phone and I can't do that
- Is there any way I can use my deceased father's iphone X even though I don't know his password or his e-mail password? My dad passed away recently. He had a fairly new iPhone X. I'd like to use it as my own phone but I don't know the passcode. I watched a video on how to restore the phone but I still can't use it because the phone is connected to an itunes account… And since i don't know his e-mail password, i can't reset it. I went to AT&T (where we were on a family plan) but they said they can't help me. Is his nearly new phone destined to be a paper weight?
- I'm trying to ease all contents and setting from my iPhone 7 and it's asking for a password but I don't have a password Ok so I recently got an iPhone 7 and when I opened it up it was a clean slate nothing on it. However when I tried to restore my old phone's data I restored the wrong phone. I tried to go into setting and ease all contents but it asked for a password that I didn't put into my phone and didn't create. I have no clue what to do.
