Please explain how every user that successfully guessed their password had a different one, some of them passwords that Apple's software could not possibly have known? Here are some from from this and other threads on the subject: I never post on forums like this but I had been trying to fix this for months so thought I would share in the hopes it could help anyone experiencing the same issue. You cannot restore from an old backup but you can simply backup your phone now making sure the encryption box remains unchecked and you now no longer have an encrypted back up. My issue was a little different however, as I still had my old phone so I could simply back it up again once the encryption was removed. After it has reset plug it back it and the encrypted box will no longer be checked. However if you go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset All Settings - it actually removes the encryption (it does not remove any data etc). I had tried every password possible, every suggestion on these forums and nothing worked for me. I definitely never set my back-ups as encrypted and hence never chose a password for a back-up.

Not sure if this will help you specifically but it helped me in a similar situation.
