Manage passwords using keychains on Mac - Apple Support provides some advice regarding the use of Keychain Access.


After opening Keychain Access, you will see window similar to this one:

After searching for iOS Backup, double click on the iOS Backup selection.


Next you will see this window:

Click on "Show password," and you will see a dialog , where you will be allowed to enter the Administrator password:

Click "Allow," and you should then be able to view the password for iOS Backup.
