Q: Forgotten password for encryption

I am not IT savvy at all.  No idea what the encryption password is/was.

 

I have a new recycled iPhone 6 and want to transfer everything from my old iPhone 4.  I have backed up the iPhone 4.


I  am now trying to transfer all data etc and it is asking for the encrypted password For both thro iTunes and iCloud. I don't know it.

 

  • Does it lock out if I keep trying various passwords?
  • What format does the password have to be as this may(?) jog my memory? Caps, nos, #%. etc ? How many digits?
  • IS there anything else I can do?

 

Thanks for for any help/advice.
