"iTunes keeps asking me to enter the password to unlock iPad Air backup file. But I couldn't call for it since I never checked the option for an encrypted backup when I chose to back up my iPad Air, which is so-called iPad 5. Then I tried the Apple account password, it reminded me that the password you entered to unlock your iPad Air backup was incorrect. Can somebody help me?"
