I need your help, I forgot my Apple encrypt backup password. I tried all the options and old passwords but still can’t login. If apple will support me to reset iPhone encrypt backup password…I also want to get my deleted notes from the backup. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Actually, if you can’t remember the password for your encrypted backup, you can’t restore the encrypted backup without its password. However, with iOS 11 or later, you can make a new encrypted backup of your device by resetting the password. Here’re the detailed steps:
- Go to Setting> General> Reset
- Tap “Reset All Settings” then enter your passcode
- Now you can connect your device to iTunes again and create a new encrypted backup
Notes:
- This won’t affect the existing data on your iPhone.
- If your iPhone with iOS 10 or earlier, you can’t reset the password.
- Still can’t use previous encrypted backup unless you remember the password.
