trying to restore backup on iphone from mac and says password wrong

iphone 12 Max Pro

iMac, Ventura 13.3.1


Backed up iphone -- Tried to load update -- Update didn't happen -- Phone has been unusable since then

Finally got it to ignore restore with iTunes, but backup restore breaks down saying password is wrong.

Using iphone password, not Apple


Frustrated in Woodside, NY

Did you setup a password for the backup file? If YES, then it is the backup file’s password that the system may be looking for.

Can you tell us the exact notification that you see on your screen when it asks for that password?
