iTunes Backup Password Recovery Description
iTunes Backup Password Recovery is an application that promises to find out the lost or forgotten passwords of your iTunes backups by using one of two methods: dictionary and brute force. Wrapped in a clean and intuitive interface, the tool features options that can be easily configured, even by those who have used similar utilities before.
It’s not necessary to have iTunes installed on your computer to be able to use this program. Following a fast and uneventful setup operation, you come face to face with a clear-cut window that has a pleasant appearance and lists two steps: importing the backup file and selecting a password attack type.
Decrypt iTunes backup passwords
The iTunes backup files (Manifest.plist) must exist on your computer (in AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\) to be autodetected by the application. Unfortunately, there is no option implemented to look for it in a different part of the disk. If multiple backups exist, you can choose the preferred one from a list before proceeding to the text step.
Three types of attack modes are available: dictionary, brute force, and brute force with mask. In dictionary mode, you can load an existing plain text document (TXT format) and ask iTunes Backup Password Recovery to try all words listed there.
Find passwords using a dictionary or brute force
A couple of pre-existing files can be loaded, courtesy of the developer, but you can also download new ones from their website (if you’re a registered user) as well as create new dictionary files yourself. This is useful, for example, if you have a constant list of passwords you frequently use but don’t have the time to go through all.
The brute force method takes longest because it tries all possible combinations of all characters. If you know some details about the password, though, like whether lower or uppercase letters, numbers or symbols were used or not, you can switch to brute force with mask. In this case, you can control the password range by setting the minimum and maximum number of characters, as well as specify a prefix or suffix. Any details can greatly increase the password search time.
Fast and easy-to-use password decryptor for iTunes backups
The tool worked without any issues on Windows 10 in our tests. It had minimal impact on the computer’s performance while trying to find the password.
All aspects considered, iTunes Backup Password Recovery offers an intuitive interface and practical options to help you recover iTunes backup passwords using dictionary or brute force.
