iTunes backup made a password itself - how to decrypt?
Hi Guys,
I will describe whole situation with that iPhone 6S.
This iPhone is my girlfriends telephone. She used it without any problems until iOS11 update. After that we noticed a massive battery drain and decrease of performance. Normally it takes a whole day to used up all energy from 100% until 1%. After update it takes about 3-4 hours to get to 1% and after that iPhone was working on 1% for next 1-2 hours.
Today after whole night of charging the battery was at 7% of charge.
I have decied to restore her iPhone on my iMac.
I have 2013 iMac. I have restored very many iPhones on that iMac without any problem until today.
I have connected my girlfriends iPhone to iMac, made a backup (encryption was turned off) and after backup finished I have started to restore.
I've reach "hello" message and started to activate the iPhone (typed password to Apple ID etc.) until iTunes asked me for backup password.
We tried ALL password used in past without any result.
I have tried to decrypt the password with 3rd part Apps, but those decrypt just 3-characters in Trial mode.
We have iCloud backup from yesterday noon, but without any photos. That is why I need access to that backup.
Guys I'm in the dead end. Does anybody got similar situation?
Help me please.
Questa è una buona domanda?

If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
or try TunesGeeker tool to recover your backup password:

A full software restore ? it's too complicated to work for the most people, There's a lot of advice on Google, like this one :

If you want to access iTunes backup, it is bound to enter the right password here. i guess that your girlfriend have set the iTunes backup password when she enabled the iTunes backup function. If you forgot it, there is no way to get it back unless you try the third party software. Among all the iTunes backup software on the market, iSunshare iTunes Password Genius for Mac has a good review and recommendation on many website, you can check it here:

So this happened to someone else too! Did you ever come to a resolution on this? I had the same problem - I turned encryption off, and it encrypted it with some mystery password anyway. Since we didn't create a password, we didn't know what it was and we've lost alot of data. Very disappointed and Apple didn't help. Tried hashcat to brute force attempt to decrypt if I recall correctly, but no luck.
