iPhone and iPad Backup Password Recovery (iOS and iPadOS 4.x to 27.x)

Backup protection in iOS 10.2 to 27.x is built on PBKDF2 (a key derivation function) with 10,000,000 iterations of SHA-256, instead of the 10,000 iterations of SHA-1 used before. That means a backup password is tested more than 1,000 times slower. On an RTX 4060 graphics card, Passcovery Suite tests about 180 passwords per second, versus 233,000 for the encryption in iOS 4.x to 10.1. Narrowing the search range is your chance: when a mask or a dictionary cuts out the combinations that don't fit, a search that would take years takes days or hours.

• three types of attack: brute force, mask, and dictionary
• password mutation rules for dictionary attacks (up to four dictionaries, including UTF-8)
• automated recovery using pre-defined scenarios
• attack autosave and session resume

• support for a wide range of popular formats (Apple iOS/iPadOS, BlackBerry OS, Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF, Zip, RAR, TrueCrypt, WPA/WPA2, complete list)
• password recovery on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel Arc GPUs
• graphical interface and a command line for remote administration
• compatibility with Windows 11 and earlier versions

GPU Acceleration: Tens and Hundreds of Passwords per Second Instead of a Few

Passcovery Suite puts your computer's graphics cards to work on the search. For backups on iOS 10.2 and later, a CPU tests fewer than 10 passwords per second, while a graphics card reaches tens or hundreds of passwords per second, depending on the model.

Dictionary, Mask, or Brute Force: Choose Based on What You Know About the Password

Because of the PBKDF2 iterations, strong backup passwords are tested slowly, so for iPhones and iPads a dictionary attack works best. The method depends on what you know about the password:

• for words, names, and dates, use a dictionary with mutation rules that change the case, add digits, and substitute symbols;
• for a known structure, use a positional mask that sets a separate character set for each position, so combinations that don't fit are never tested;
• if you know nothing, brute force is all that's left, but it only works for short passwords: on an RTX 4060, a password of five lowercase letters takes about 19 hours.

Automatic Search or Your Own Rules: Scenarios and the Macro Language

Scenarios and the macro language define the search in advance: which passwords to test, in what order, and by what rules to mutate words.

Free Demo With Full Search Speed

The Passcovery Suite demo is free and includes all features, iPhone and iPad backups among them. In the demo, a found password shows only its first two characters, a single attack runs for no more than 30 minutes, the program doesn't save the attack state, and it uses one graphics card. Search speed in the demo isn't cut down, and the benchmark will show what it is on your own computer.

• Download Free Demo Version
• Buy License

A license sets how many graphics cards the program puts to work: Standard uses one, Professional uses two, and Ultimate uses every graphics card in the computer. For backups on iOS 10.2 and later, search speed depends directly on this.

A Passcovery Suite license gives you:

• an unrestricted copy of the program (the demo shows only the first two characters of a password)
• free program updates for one year
• free technical support for any questions that come up
