Hello anm.s,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


From your post I see that you're being prompted to enter a password when restoring from an iTunes backup. This indicates you enabled the secure backup option, and assigned a password to protect your iPhone backups in iTunes. If you do not know your password, then please see the article below for recovering it.

Take care,
