Today, i got myself a new device and was prompted with password request. Ive tried on pc password, vpn exchange password, 4 digits passcode, itunes password and all was wrong. Feeling upset, i tried every password i ever used for steam, emails etc.. and finally i solved by entering my MMO password! I am still thinking its ridiculous but also glad that i managed to restore backup to new device.

So keep trying people....

Merry Xmas 2013 to everyone!

Dude i need your way please , ive been tying for 5 days now...

So it seems that most of the inquirers in this thread think that iTunes uses some random password from the computer it is installed on.

Mine worked after several trials and several hours, after which I used my mail password. Yet I can not verify if I have used this password at some point when using iTunes, so the fellow inquirers here might as well be mistaken about the password being random.

The Question is..

Why the **** wouldn't the Apple ID Password just work for iTunes??

and most importantly..

WHY THE **** ISN'T THERE A "FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD" LINK???

Thanks wsucoug95, I finally solved this problem by using a passcode for unlocking my old iPhone 1 year ago!

This managed to solve the problem for me after trying a thousand passwords.

It was the 4-digit code when I backed up the iphone.

I resolved this problem by typing in the password to my Apple account without any capitalisation. i.e. if my password is "HiMyNameIsJames" then I would type in "himynameisjames"

If any1 still has the same problem.

Here is what I did.

- Encrypt iPhone backup.

- Make a password.

- Channels the Backup.

- Use the newly made password, for the backup you want.

- Done.

Hope it helps =)
