At this situation, all I need to do is figure out how to uncheck
that little box next to "change password" but it won't let me. I went
into iTunes and to Summary then Backups. The button is grayed out for
Encrypt this iPhone backup and I can't seem to remove backup password in iTunes. Could someone run me through this?

Most of us Apple fans, including you, selected to stick to security
best practices and set your password on your own iPhone backups to make

your iPhone to a new version and you would like to transfer your entire
data across towards the new phone. You seek to restore from the backup
and, you have to recall the password you set before. You attempt every
password you might have set but none of them work. You are attempting to

with three easy steps, within minutes and without pro techniques. It has
helped me! Also, there is another way, you may have a try! You can
create an unencrypted version to utilize to transfer computer data

1. Jailbreak your device. The easiest way to do this is via
ailbreakme, or if you have a more specific set of requirements then use
Redsn0w or PwnageTool. This will install the hacked AppStore called
Cydia.
2. Use Cydia to install OpenSSH and SQLite3
3. Connect your iPhone to a wireless network and ssh to it using Apple's default root password of "alpine"
4. We want to manipulate the keychains that basically store your
saved encrypted passwords. Run "cd /var/Keychains" and you will find the
keychains SQLite database called "keychain-2.db".
5. Connect to the keychain database by running the command "sqlite3 keychain-2.db"
6. Dump the contents of the table called "genp" by typing the following into the SQLite command prompt "select * from genp;"
7. Find the row containing the text "BackupPassword"
8. Get the RowID from the start of this line. Mine was "54"
9. Delete this row by typing the following into the SQLite command
prompt "delete from genp where rowid = 54;" (remember to change 54 to be
your own RowID)
10. Plug your iPhone into iTunes, where it will show that you still
have a backup password enabled. Deselect the "Encrypt iPhone Backup"
option.
11. This will ask you for your password, but don't fret! Type arbitrary text in as your password and hit ok.
At this point your password will be accepted, your backup encryption
option will be disabled, and your iPhone will start backing up without
encryption.
