Restoring Backup - Incorrect Password

This Problem is Ridiculous!

THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION.

Try all your previous passwords. One will work.

Follow this procedure:

If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

See Disable iOS backup encryption.

Hi.

i Have bought Ipad Air 2 days ago,done manually back up by itunes of my old IPad 3 next restore back up on IPad air,but I cannot finish set up and log in with currently password to iCloud because I am getting message-incorrect password,what is not true.

I cannot restore iPad and start with process again because need to turn off find my iPad what is impossible without confirmation related to password.

same situation with erase all content and etc.

can anybody help me to fix the problem,keep still the same Apple ID and password?i don't want to change them.

i Have no idea what I can do it more.

It is actually quite simple, we have to either resort to thinking that everyone on that thread had a ghost inside of the computer or that they did it themselves, which theory is correct do you think? Now it is going to be much more visited thread, since health app backup requires password protection, so everyone will be prompted to enter password before backup and since everyone just clicks those buttons without thinking, including me - good luck to all of us.

About encrypted backups in iTunes - Apple Support

What's happening really doesn't make any sense.

I just encountered this issue today. I purchased an iphone 6 and backed up my iphone 5 to itunes and I have changed my old encryption password to a new password. I thought that I made a typo during the change password process and somehow I typed it twice to something that wasn't in my head.

Their is a way to view that password on mac from applications/utilities/keychain access and then view the password.

it says that I have chanced the password exactly an hour ago and when I ticked the show password button it showed me the password that I was trying to type all day long. I copied and pasted that exactly same password and it kept saying incorrect password.

I still have both my phones and I can do the backup on another computer but still it doesn't make any sense!! there is a bug in itunes backup encryption!!

Could the problem be different IOS on the old iphone and the new one ..... i'll try to update my old iphone and see if that will solve the problem.

Cheers.

II've been fighting with apple ever since I downloaded iOS 10 on my iPhone 6s+ iPad Air ipad 4 my wife's iPhone 6s and her ipad. Apple had me back up than reset my Device, wait a few days then reinstall backup . Now I try to backu

and it's asking me for the iTunes password which is weird and when I type it it says it's incorrect.

sstill waiting for a callback going on 2nd day from my senior apple support rep. this is riduculous and on top of everythn the iOS 10 problems are still occurring and I was told to wait for the next iOS update to see if the

pproblem is fixed. I'm not happy.

I'm having the same issue. I seriously have no other password other then the one I have for itunes. I've never changed it either. I tried to say I forgot my password and got as far as them asking to verify my credit card on file. I did so and now they're saying that isn't right. I don't know what to do st this point. I'm just going to get a new phone and say screw your to apple. This is crap!

I backed up my phone to my computer at 7:30 PM. I copied my password to my clipboard as I updated iTunes and entered the password a few times successfully via Ctrl+V. I had problems with the loss of all settings while trying to troubleshoot another issue and before doing a factory reset, wanted to test the restore.. It's a good thing I did because I got this same stupid message when I did another Ctrl+V when prompted for the password at 7:48 PM!

I see a lot of posts saying to use my computer password... here's the thing, my computer has no password. It's a personal laptop, so that solution is out the window. So how do I recover this password Apple? How?

Is it time to jump back to Android? If I can't do a reliable restore from backup, guess who will get my money for a new phone? It sure won't be a phone I don't feel confident I can backup or restore without spending hours on tech support!

Ok i went through the hassle of creating this account mainly to say my displeasure on swapping phones from old iphone to new.

Like many others i must have took a backup encrypted many pcs and passwords ago. I tried everything and cannot get my old phone backup restored to my new(fxxxxing password is never right), like many other people i change pc's and passwords and cannot remember what i used 3 years ago, even harder working in IT and dealing with many passwords and devices....all i can say apple get a grip i know my pin i know my apple id and pass(Never thought i would have to keep account of anything else), i can create the back up np on my password protected pc that i authorised with my apple id and entered my phone code... and you want me to remember a password from years ago ***. anyway i purchased more storage in icloud and will try backup and restore from that....***....it does not work then apple you can go to fxxxx i will never purchase again and give this advice to anyone who asks

i will watch this post to see if anyone from your company responds and explains to me why, i can can use my phone code and apple id to backup with no option for backups, but, cant transfer because of an encryption pass word from many devices and passwords ago. please make me look like i have missed something silly

i will be moving away from apple, anyway as of question of this post, try every password from every pc, if not working pay for extra for storage in icloud then backup and restore using icloud, it works....great product but so annoyed of wasted time when my id or passcode for phone should have been enough...also not chuffed had to reset iwatch so please sort this out.....most of all i found this post by google search so as being an official apple forum please respond as i am sure others will find this post, i could be wrong so you could set other customers straight or applogise to us
