I understand I have done something stupid: I accidentally reset my iPhone to factory settings via iTunes. I did not chose to restore from backup. now my iPhone contacts are gone from the iPhone and can only be found on my Windows Contacts. Is there a way to bring back my contacts from my PC to my iPhone? Do you think my iTunes backed up my contacts during the restore? Thank you so much for your kind help. Hi, thaks a lot for posting such useful guides.

However, they were encrypted so when I try to open them in textedit it comes out as 'noise'. Fortunately, I remember the password I used for backup. How can I decrypt these 2 files? I don't need to restore them, just to check some of their content. Thanks in advance.
