    Hello hskod,

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    For more information, take a look at:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162

     

    You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:

    • Leaving the password field blank
    • Your Apple ID password
    • Your computer account password, if you have one
    • Email passwords you may have used
    • Your Wi-Fi network password
    • Website passwords you may have used
    • A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it

     

    Have a nice day,

    Mario
