Please help! I started with my iphones backup on my computer, it asked for a password, I submitted one but the system didn't accept it and still did started to back up the phone :( how will I recover this info without a password?

The system did not accept my backup password, but went on to do the backup anyway. How will I restore my info when switching to a new phone? Why didn't the system accept the password I chose?

iPhone 8

If it did accept the backup, the backup may not be password protected.


Have you tried restarting the phone and the computer again, then doing another backup?
