What is the Default password of Unencrypted iTunes backup I backed up my iPhone XR to my PC and unchecked the "Encrypt Local Backup" and did not set a password. When I tried to set up my new iphone 13 with this using Restore Backup, it keeps asking me for a password and I have no clue what to input. I have tried my phone passcode, 0000, 1234, iTunes password as well as my laptop password but have had no luck. Feeling extremely frustrated. Can someone please help?
