I Forgot My Itunes Backup Password, How Can I Remove It?

[peicollen]

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?

Look at the Keychain access and your password might be stored there:

If you haven't lost any files on your apple device, you can create a new itunes backup.

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
