Encrypt Backup Password Problem

I checked the option to encrpyt the back up using a password. Any password I try cannot be used - I've tried my itunes password and a variety of others - I just keep getting a message saying the password cannot be set. It worked fine until a couple of days ago. Any ideas?

Keep trying. Just remember that if you used caps, or numbers or symbols, this will be an issue. Same thing happened to me. I tried the Change Password feature, and by luck, I found the right one

SOLVED! I had this issue. I did not provide a password when creating the backup - but I found that restoring with the iTunes password resulted in a successful restore!

It was definitely my Windows password. No idea how, but try that!

Well I may be the crazy person in the room, but I was banging my head against this for a while. I finally hit cancel on the password screen. Then presto it synced right up.
