Ok, like many other folks I forgot my iPhone backup password in iTunes.

I want to start over and be able to enter a NEW backup password for my NEXT iPhone backup.

How do I reset my iTunes so that it forgets my old password (allowing me to enter a new password)?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Delete the backup on iTunes, and when you go to backup the next time it will ask for a new password.
