It appears that even a user/owner that has forgotten the encryption password cannot deactivate this feature in Itunes without setting up new account. Can anyone confirm this is a permanent option.
Has anyone tested connection the Iphone device to a new valid Itunes account and making a new backup with no encryption?
I have read on non-forensic forums that it does not alter the phone data but does lock user/owner out of accessing Itunes purchases when they switch back to the original account
This is on a Iphone6+ running IOS 10.3.3.

Might be worth checking if iCloud backups are enabled and if they know their username/password to login to it.

Elcomsoft and Celebrate have solutions that can grab un-encrypted backups from the iCloud servers, which may help you out. Failing that, Elcomsoft also have a solution to attempt to decrypt iOS backups through brute force; however this may be fruitless if a complex password is used.

You can’t restore an encrypted backup without its password. With iOS 11 or later, you can make a new encrypted backup of your device by resetting the password. Here’s what to do

On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Reset.
Tap Reset All Settings and enter your iOS passcode.
Follow the steps to reset your settings. This won't affect your user data or passwords, but it will reset settings like display brightness, Home screen layout, and wallpaper. It also removes your encrypted backup password.
Connect your device to iTunes again and create a new encrypted backup.

You won't be able to use previous encrypted backups, but you can back up your current data using iTunes and setting a new backup password.
