I want to jailbreak an iPhone 3G which I believe is locked to AT & T. It
is iOS 4.2.1 (8C148) and belongs to a friend of mine. Jailbreaking will
be done with latest redsn0w and IPSW for this phone.

Here are my questions -- the phone has baby photos on it, etc. I don't
want to risk these while jailbreaking. I am wondering how to back up the
phone first.

I have already used TinyUmbrella to back up the SHSH blobs.

I have a MacBook Pro. Can I just plug the phone into the MacBook while
logged in to my personal user account, and see if I can back it up with
iTunes? Or should I create a special "test" user account and log into
that and then plug the phone in?

Will iTunes ask me for any passwords? I don't know the friend's
passwords and don't wish to ask, either. Can I still back up even
without a password?

Thanks

Bob Cochran
