I forgot my Encrypt Local Backup password for iPhone4S.

I tried to transfer contacts, photos, etc. to my new iPhone5 through iTunes with operation "restore from backup" but it always asks for a password that I can't remember.

How I can transfer contacts, photos, etc. to my new iPhone5, or do I have to enter all contacts manually?

    So you set an encryption password at one point, but now don't remember it? If that is the case, according to Apple, there is no recovery.

    If you still have the old phone and haven't reset it, I imagine you can set a new backup encryption password and then make a new backup. Otherwise, I'm afraid you're screwed.

I knew that you need the backup password to get your contacts, photos, videos, etc. I have the same situation before. You can find a tool to unlock the backup password, or go to Google Search: "iPhone Backup Unlocker"
