Well, here's my problem. I backed up my phone to my Mac yesterday because I had to bring my iPhone to Geeks today to have them fix the lock button. They fixed it but when I picked up the phone it was as if it was a brand new phone. I plugged it into my Mac and asked it to restore yesterday's backup and it asked for a password. I don't ever remember making a password for an encrypted backup!!! I am so sick about this. I feel like I've lost everything!
