Il backup file which is created by iTunes every time an iOS device is connected (iphone, ipod o ipad) is very important because it allows us to recover and restore all data lost accidentally or following a formatting or damage to the device. This backup file has a password protection which is important because it allows us to prevent other people from easily accessing our information (photos, sms, contacts, videos, notes, etc ...).
The problem arises when you absolutely need to use the iTunes backup (e.g. to restore important data on the device) but we no longer remember the protection password. In these cases there is little to say: either you try to use dr.fone (a program that allows direct data recovery from the device's memory) or you have to rely on the program iPhone Backup Unlocker to recover iPhone / iPad / iPod backup password.
iPhone Backup Unlocker is a "password recovery" program that is able to analyze the backup file and find the lost or forgotten password.
