If you want to use Linux, spend some time learning the basics of command line and your shell. Also check the readme and blog post to understand how Android backups work. It takes some time, but is eventually easier than trying random things.
[password]
here means the password is optional -- if the backup is not encrypted there is no password. Implementation might be different on some devices, but typically you are asked for a password when you create the backup. If didn't specify one, the backup is probably not encrypted.
Look at the first lines of the .ab file, that would also give you a hint if it's encrypted. If it is, you need to specify the password.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the file when I get back home.

I'm new at using jar files, and it's been a few years since I last used Ubuntu. I'm quite rusty.
The first lines of the file are :
ANDROID BACKUP
5
1
none
There's also a last line I don't really get, but that I can also post here if required. The device isn't encrypted, and the file shouldn't be either, but it's possible that it is.

Looks like the backup is not encrypted, so it should work without specifying a password.

Then what could be the issue? Again, the command java -jar abe.jar abe unpack color.note.adb color.note.tar
doesn't seem to do much other than just display
Usage:
unpack: abe unpack <backup.ab> <backup.tar> [password]
pack: abe pack <backup.tar> <backup.ab> [password]
pack for 4.4: abe pack-kk <backup.tar> <backup.ab> [password]
If the filename is-
, then data is read from standard input
or written to standard output.
Envvar ABE_PASSWD is tried when password is not given
I'm not sure what else I can do.

Not sure what you have downloaded, but either use the shell script (abe
) or the jar file, not both in the same command.
If using the jar file: java -jar abe.jar unpack color.note.adb color.note.tar

That worked, thank you.

Sure. But looking at the readme and checking out what's in the script file would have given you the same result, much faster.
