Add Encrypted iTunes backup file

Note: If this software didn't automatically detect your IOS device and import the backup file, you might have to click the Add File button to add your backup file manually. It is generally located in the folder below:

Windows 7: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup.
Windows 8.1: Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Apple Computer > MobileSync > Backup.
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup.

Step 3: Select recovery type and define settings

iSumsoft iTunes Password Refixer provides 4 password recovery types to shorten the backup password recovery time.

1. Normal: Select this type and specify your password range and length, then this program will discover your password in your specified range and length until finding your backup password.

2. Mask: Select Mask when you still can remember part of your backup password. You'd better define the settings such as password length, character set, and affix set according to the clues about the password. In addition to Range and Length, you need to set the Mask. For example, your backup password is 5 characters, you remember the two characters are he, then you can set the Mask as he??, the "?" means the unknown part of the password.

3. Dictionary: Select this type when your backup password is some more common characters. This program will discover your password from its built-in dictionary. It's highly recommended to create a dictionary and click Select Dictionary to add your dictionary file path. This will speed up the password recovery process.

4. Smart: Select this type when you know nothing about your password. This program will automatically try all possible characters combinations until finding your backup password. No need to define any setting. But it will take a longer time.

Note: If you still remember part of your password, Mask or Dictionary might be your good choice.

Step 4: Recover iTunes backup password

Click Start to start decrypting the locked iTunes backup, during the process you are allowed to click Stop button to stop the process and then save the project to continue next time or to end the project.
