I'm attempting to setup my new iPhone SE with a backup on my laptop of my iPhone 6S. It is asking for a password to recover my backup. I've tried my iphone password and my Apple password, neither one works. What password is required?

The encryption password that you set up for your iTunes backup.


IF this link Disable iOS backup encryption - Apple Community doesn't help, then you won't be able to use that backup.
