The other day, when I was walking on the street I heard someone passed by was complaining about the repeated password-request problem when performing jailbreak.
Actually, it seems usual for iPhone users to be asked to enter the iTunes backup password time and time again while upgrading or performing jailbreak their iPhone. That's quite annoying and pretty time-consuming, right?
Some people may wonder is there anyway to remove the backup encryption in iTunes.Here, I'd like to help you solve the problem by two solution listed below.
Turn off 'encrypt iPhone backup option
Step 1: Start iTunes on your PC and connect your iPhone to the PC.
Step 2: unselect the “encrypt iPhone backup” option as the following picture shows.
Step 3: There pop up a smaller screen asking you to enter the backup password, then enter the password you set previously.
Forget iTunes backup password
It is quite simple to remove the iTunes backup encryption if one remembers the password. However, some people may forget it due to frequent password-resetting or long time of no use.
In this case, they certainly fail to disable the "encrypt iPhone backup" option. What should they do if things are urgent ? For instant, they have to pause jailbreaking or upgrading their iPhone as they cannot enter correct password when it is requested.
