I did not encrypt an iphone backup, but now it is

I had an iPhone backup, but can not restore from it since it is encrypted and I ever encrypted it. I don't have a password, since I didn't set one.


iTunes 12.8.0.150, OS X High Sierra.

iPhone 5s, iOS 12.0.1, High Sierra

Question marked as Apple recommended

Backups don't encrypt themselves. It's possible you accidentally tapped the check mark for encryption.


Regardless, it is what it is. About encrypted backups in iTunes - Apple Support
