What is the Password to Restore iPhone Backup?

Tip 3: Try special combinations.
You may set some special days as your iPhone backup password, so, you can try your families birthdays, names, or names plus birthdays, as well as some anniversaries etc.
Tip 4: Try original password you set with your iPhone.
In some cases, the password can be the first iTunes password that you set a long time ago, you may change a lot of different passwords after you encrypted it at the first time. But iTunes may only recognize your iPhone by the original password that you set with it. This may be a bug in iTunes but try it and see if it works for you.
Tip 5: Using Mac Keychain to find it out.
If you are using a Mac and have saved your password with Keychain, then you can use Keychain to find out your iPhone backup password with ease. To do this, you fan follow steps:
1. On your Mac, go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.
2. In the upper right search dialog, search for “iPhone Backup.”
3. Double click the “iPhone Backup.” A window will pop up, at the bottom of the dialogue box, click “Show password” and type in your Keychain password.

Tip 7: Reset the password.
If the password-protected backup is useless for you, you can just reset the encryption backup password.

What's SHSH？
SHSH is short for Signature HaSH blobs, it is also called SHSH blob. It is a term for a small piece of data that is part of Apple’s digital signature protocol for iOS restores and updates, designed to control the iOS versions that users can install on their iOS devices ( iPhone, iPads, iPod touches, and Apple TVs), generally only allowing the newest iOS version to be installable. Developers interested in iOS jailbreaking have made tools for working around this signature system in order to install jailbreakable older iOS versions that are no longer being signed by Apple.
