Note:

We recommend avoiding the C drive for storing backup files because they can be quite large and may quickly use up your system space.

Step 4 Enter the Password

Before backup, if your device has a backup password, you’ll need to enter it to unlock (using your lock screen passcode). If it doesn’t have one, ReiBoot will set a default backup password for you, which doesn’t require unlocking.
