if you mean encrypted password for your itunes backup then you can't use the backup.

but see if this helps Disable iOS backup encryption - Apple Community

The link provided is what I followed also and the encrypted backup password is not removed. AND you have to have the password in order to disable the backup encryption. :-/

I have the same issue. When I tried to reset the network setting, it seems that there is nothing changed on my phone. When I connect to the mac and try to remove the encrypted backup password, it still asks me to provide it.

I am glad that you figured out your password!

For anyone else that is following or comes across this thread..

the problem here is that the Apple support article is not up to date.

(support article shown under Related Article at the top of the page)

In the section

If you can’t remember the password for your encrypted backup

item #2 where it says 'Reset Network Settings'. This is not correct. You need to select 'Reset All Settings'

Then the procedure will work. Tested myself. It also does not mess with your Home Screen layout, just resets your wallpaper.

I am reporting this in the proper place so that the article can be updated
