Sometimes the
iphone users are facing the issue while restoring the iPhone from back up iTunes
asking for password to restore backup. Once you start the back process your
will be interrupted by message “ Enter The Password to Unlock Your iPhone
Backup”, But might be clueless even though you have entered any password for
while taking backup or even asked by iTunes to enter a password. The problem is
very annoying as itunes asks for a password to unlock a backup that you never
set. Even if user tries with the current password of iTune in the result you
will get that the password you entered to unlock your iphone backup was
incorrect. Due to this users are unable to restore the iphone as they can't
remember itunes backup password. Indeed I have seen many frustrated users
asking for their password eg i forgot my encrypted iphone backup password

ITunes backup asking password issue.
This seems to be very challenging
and important to get password to unlock iphone backup. Therefore before we know
the fix lets understand what caused encrypt iphone backup password :
So if you
have an encrypted backup ("Encrypt Backup" is checked in Tunes) it is
encrypted. This is the only way iphone backup became encrypted and asking for
password that was never set. You should note htat the password is more than a password; it is
the encryption key, and is saved in the encrypted backup and the iOS device.
There seems to be no direct way to bypass or ignore the encryption, except to
enter the correct passcode.
