PS: Stay safe, I highly recommend encrypting your iPhone backups! But in times when you need to extract some info or passcode that you have lost access to, it is easy to make an unencrypted backup & extract details. No wonder the police & other authorities are also using this! Any unencrypted backup of an iPhone can give you all the data you need, photos, calendar, voice memos, Whatsapp photos etc. My use case was very basic, but it seems that this tool is used by a variety of folks across the globe. The tool worked as advertised and got me results within seconds. I used it to get my passcode back (which was so simple, I wonder how I forgot it in the first place!). This tool, iPhone Backup Extractor takes your unencrypted iPhone backup file from iTunes and extracts vital data from it. If you are stuck as badly as me, may be the paid solution I used will help. However I was unable to recall my passcode even after 28 attempts. This allowed me to skip the wait for entering the passcode again. My hack was to change the date & time on my iPhone every time there was a failed attempt. Ultimately I found a hack that lets me get more attempts at guessing the right passcode, but it seems I was out of luck. Each time I would enter a wrong combination, a timer would prevent my from trying again immediately. I might have set it up at the beginning, but given that it is not used everyday, I forgot this 4 digit passcode. You may have already guessed, I didn’t remember my restrictions passcode. I need to enter the Restrictions Passcode in addition to my regular passcode. While none of the settings I changed restricted my iPhone usage, problem occurred when I wanted to hard reset my iPhone. A lot of you would wonder what is Restrictions? If you haven’t encountered it, that’s probably a good thing, because as it occurred to me, I had enabled Restrictions on my iPhone (also referred to as Parental Controls).
