Encrypt Backup Password Problem

Read the other messages in the thread you posted to and become enlightened.

I'm not sure why Apple is still sending me notices about this, it was a simple fix. Go to settings, General and delete any profiles. Password gone. Resolved. Thanks anyway.

No. This does not work. Did you ever find out how to deal with this?

This really saved me!!! I was trying all sort of passwords but it never occured to me that I should try my old apple id password.

Thanks a bunch! 🙂

Correct! I had been convinced I'd not set a password, until I realised, actually, I had. We just forget.

It's a bug of the mind. 😝

I agree with Lawrence! It's not right that Apple implemented this but it's one of your old passwords!

I was bored so I tried all the passwords that I could think of and it finally worked!

**** Apple!

Thanks! Your tip helped me. Don't remember setting it in first place.

That has nothing to do with Apple. That was a decision of your IT department when they configured the profile plugin.

Yes, the itunes password worked for me.

true, I just entered 4 digits number instead of password and it works. Even there were no need to unplug and restart my iPhone. iTunes somehow does not accept passwords, only 4 digits

do you still have the Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker if you do can you help me to find my password so i can change it then remove the settings please i need help

I had the same problem. Solved it by changing the password. After I changed the password to something new, the backup worked without prompting for set a new password. 🙂

Make sure your iPhone or iPad is connected via USB before checking "encrypt backup." I was having the same problem until I tried plugging in my iPhone first. Then it worked.

Thank you for your help !!! the password IS the 4-DIGIT passkey, Apple should append description on the Itunes when they request for the encryption password.

Glad it worked for you. Did not work for me.
