How to Recover Data Without iPhone Backup Password

1. How to Recover Data Without iPhone Backup Password Data security is a big concern to every body. So it is a great thing that Apple adds Encrypt Backup feature to iTunes so that we could use password to protect and encrypt our iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch backups. However, it happens when we forget the password of our iPhone backup and since there is no "find your password" option, we have no way to recover the backup. Therefore, this post is not just about how to encrypt your iPhone backup, but also how to recover your iPhone data without backup password. Part 1: Encrypt iPhone Backup in iTunes It is very easy to encrypt your iPhone backups in iTunes. You just need to turn on the Encrypt Backup feature, set up a password and check if the encryption feature is enabled successfully. Here is the specific steps. Step 1 Turn on Encrypt Backup Open iTunes on your PC, if you have the previous version of iTunes, update it to the latest version. Then connect your iPhone to iTunes via USB cable. After connecting, click the connected device and choose "Summary" on the left column. On the Backup section of the screen, tick "Encrypt iPhone Backup". Step 2 Set up A Password A window pops up and requires you to create a password for your iPhone backup. Enter the password and make sure you remember or keep the password safely cause without the password, you are unable to recover your iTunes backups as well as turn off the Encrypt Backup feature.

2. Step 3 Check If Your iPhone Backup is Encrypted After you have set the password, iTunes will immediately begin to make a encoded backup of your iPhone and encrypt your previous backups. You may go to "Edit" > "Preference" > "Device" and make sure your backups are encrypted with a lock icon.
