"The solution of how to recover iPhone backup without the password is worth discussing."

"This might sound a little funny. Don't laugh. I know I'm not the only one who's experienced this before but anyways, I don't know my iPhone's password. Yeah, yeah, don't laugh. I'm sure it's happened before to a number of people I am not the only person this has ever happened to and I doubt I'm going to be the last.

I was certain it was a password that I always put but for some reason, I keep getting rejected everytime I input the password. Argh. This is really frustrating and I remind everyone, it is absolutely not 100% funny.

I really need to get my phone back and before I have it broken into by some jailbreak expert or whatever you call it, I kind of want to resolve it myself? It's still a little embarrassing and I'd rather keep mum about this altogether.

Anyhow, there has to be a way to recover my information without having to use my password right? Please tell me that I'm not barking up the wrong tree here. Thanks!"

iPhone

The iPhone is an amazing smartphone and it is the flagship mobile phone of Apple. The popularity of the phone is without a doubt skyrocketing and continues to be one of the most widely sought after smartphones available in the market.

With each release of the iPhone, more and more users are lining up to get a unit and use it for the first time or just upgrading from an older iPhone, they are sure to be met with new technological advancements and more.

Part1. The Detail of iPhone Password

As amazing as an iPhone is, it is important to note that it is still something very personal to a lot of people. We tend to save a lot of very important information in each of our smartphones - others have very important business details and so much more that are private. It is without a doubt in our best interest to always keep our information safe and out of reach to prying eyes.

The very premise of that means that we need to have a way to keep the information behind a closed door somehow and the first line of defense for most of us is the password that is used to access the mobile phone.

While it is true, that the newer iPhones just need a thumbprint to access most files, a password is still needed in some cases especially when the phone restarts or the thumbprint cannot be read for some reason. Let's not forget about the facial recognition as well, but also note that the password can be used assuming that fails for one reason or another too. That password is the first safeguard of many that can help us keep all our important information from leaking out.

The password is amazing but forgetting it can also be amazingly annoying, much like the user above, it is almost frustrating to suddenly forget the password. Of course, you could have also inputted a wrong password from the very start or there was a mistake somewhere down the line, who knows the reason? Whatever it might be, the password is needed and you don't have it.

Unfortunately, there are no two ways about it, the password is mostly needed if you don't want to reformat the phone altogether. But assuming you really have no choice, don't worry. There is some light down the tunnel. A program called Fonedog iOS Data Recovery can help you get your information back without the use of a password.
