Password for unknown Apple ID Requested

[yaskas01]

Yesterday I restored from an icloud backup of ios 5.1.1. When the restore completed my iphone asked me for the password of an iTunes account which I don't know. I ignored it by pressing cancel but everytime I sync my iPhone with my computer (or transfer purchases) the iPhone asks me the password that belongs to an iTunes account which I don't know! What do I have to do???

My computer isn't authorized for this account and my iPhone wasnt previously used from somebody else.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

well ur icloud backup included a link to a cracked app u had installed. Now once u restore from backup from icloud it tries to download the app, except u never bought it, so it is asking for that password to download it for ya.

NO, it's not a cracked app, it's probably an app you got from a friend/relative (or someone like that ) who had originally purchased it. Thus, it's asking for the password of the original owner's Apple ID before it allows installation on your device; which is obviously logged into the Crapple network with your own Apple ID as see in "Settings > Store > Apple ID:"

Turn off metadata in instllous

The only reason why it's giving you that message asking for login info to a different account is that the app in question was purchased by someone else (the Apple ID it's asking for). Whether its a cracked app or an app you got from a friend or whatever...you didn't purchase it with your Apple ID. That is why it's coming up. You'll either have to remove the metadata using Installous (which just removes the update from the AppStore) or purchase the app using your Apple ID.
