    Last night, I encrypted my iTunes backup as there are many important files in it, but today, I can't remember the complete password and I tried many times but still incorrect, is there any way that I can remove or reset or unlock my iTunes backup?

    The default iTunes password is 123456, do you try it? or something like admin, birthday?

    In this case, there is no other choices but to brute force the password with the help of third party tools like iSeePassword. There is a free tutorial on the site you can follow to reset iTunes password: http://www.iseepassword.com/forgot-itunes-backup-password.html

    It works great for simple passwords.

    Why not try UUkyes iTunes backup unlocker tool to unlock your iTunes backup? Many users choose it to remove the password for backup files, the trail version works for 6 password length.
