The main target of the application is the iTunes backup file, which looks something like Manifest.plist. It’s possible to attempt and recover passwords for more files at a time, thanks to the browse dialog which supports multiple file selection.

Backup files can be dedicated to a whole variety of Apple devices, such as iPhone or iPad, while even supporting latest releases of the iPhone or iPad. There are multiple types of attack you can use. A drop-down menu holds all of them, and you can choose from Brute-force, Mask, Dictionary, and Smart.

Depending on the type of attack you select, particular configuration options become available. You can help the process by specifying several password-related details, such as character types used, minimum and maximum length of the password, dictionary file in case of a homonymous attack, and more.

In case you’re also busy with something else, the application can be set to run in background, but at the cost of scan performance. The log window updates in real-time with detected events.

Bottom line is that losing the password for your iPhone backup file is pretty frustrating, but all hope is not lost. iSunshare iTunes Password Genius is sure to come in handy, allowing you to recover passwords directly from the backup file with little effort.
