Cannot restore backup data from IPhone to a new model IPhone - password required during restoring from Mac to iPhone?

Already backup data from old iPhone to MAC Pro. Got a new model iPhone, while restoring saved from MAC PRO to new model iPhone, the process at MAC Pro asked for password.


Tried entering iCloud password even did not back old iPhone data to new model iPhone....this iCloud did not work. What Apple password should I use to decrypt those old iPhone data back up now inside MacPro to new model IPhone?


Thank You

Mui, Peter

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

It would be the whatever password you used to encrypt your itunes backup. Disable iOS backup encryption - Apple Community
