I recently reset my phone in attempt to see if I could restore a backup from about 2 weeks ago as I wanted to retrieve photos I deleted from recently deleted. I am less concerned about that and more worried about how to get my backup data back without typing in a password from another device. It won't let me resume data syncing unless I have the exact password from my other device which I do not know. After I reset, it won't show old messages. There were no prior messages when people texted me. It completely started a new conversation. I believe if I had the password it would retrieve all of those messages. Any solutions to get my messages back? Or to restore from a backup from an older date without needing another device?
