That's the entire point of an encrypted backup; without the proper password, the data is not accessible.


Your failure to understand the purpose of the feature does not make the feature 'unfair' or 'pointless'.


I recommend that you never enable two-step verification for your Apple ID, by the way. That's another feature that could end up with you permanently locked out of something.

So in my scenario, I know my backup password. It's the same one I used to log into this account. Yet iTunes insists the password is incorrect despite my having used the exact same password to do a previous recovery. At this point, I don't care about the encrypted backup. I don't need it. What I need is for iTunes to create a NEW encrypted backup file with MY password. How do I tell iTunes to screw the old backup and create a new one with a new password?
