A user created an encrypted backup of their iPhone on a Mac. Because they forgot the backup password, they can’t restore the encrypted backup. What must the user do to create a new encrypted backup with a new password?
A.
Use the Reset All Settings option in Settings.
B.
Create a new encrypted backup on a different Mac.
C.
Use the Reset Network Settings option in Settings.
Forgotten encrypted backup passwords can’t be recovered. Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone) clears the old backup password link, allowing a new encrypted backup with a new password on the same Mac.
Option B: Different Mac isn’t necessary.
Option C: Network reset doesn’t affect backups.
Option D: Restarting doesn’t clear the password.
