Changed password not accepted in Mail????

I have recently changed both my Gmail and Hotmail passwords following the announcement that some account details had been posted online.
Now, when starting Mail, I got the pop up window saying my password was not accepted (hotmail) and I duly entered the new password and my mails arrived fine.
However the same cannot be said with Gmail, I have tried a zillion times to put in the new password but Mail still tells me that it is refused and won't download my messages.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Quit Mail if it's open.
Open Keychain Access (Applications / Utilities).
Select Passwords on the left.
On the right delete the GMail and Hotmail names.
Quit Keychain Access.
Next time Mail asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

.mac Password not accepted in Mail?

I've had my .mac email set up on my iMac for several months and 2 days ago I got a message when Mail was checking for new messages that my password was not accepted and for me to re-enter it. Ever since then it has not accepted my password. Why would it do that all of a sudden and how do I fix it? Mail is setup to remember passwords.

I have my Mail app set to check mail every minute but it does not ask
me for my password that often.
When having the Mail.app check the account for new mail every minute and if there are a number of messages to download and/or a single message contains a large attachment or a number of attachments and the communication with the incoming mail server is not completed and closed for whatever reason before the next automatic check for new mail, you will be prompted to manually enter the account's password instead of being provided a proper error message indicating there was a problem communicating with the incoming mail server.
Change the automatic check for new mail to every 5 or 15 minutes instead which should resolve the problem.
To each his own but I have no need or desire to have my email accounts checked for new mail every minute. Checking for new mail every 5 minutes should be plenty adequate.

Changed password not accepted

iMac5,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
When I try to make changes to Accounts, my correct password is rejected. This is happening even though I reset the password using the OS X install disk. Does anyone know what to do about this?
iMac5,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Not really a new b question at all.
What I am referring to is the user's "name" property, which Apple has decided to call "Short Name" in the "Accounts" pref pane, as opposed to "Name" which refers to the "RealName" property in "NetInfo". So "Short Name"="name" and "Name"="realname". At least they aren't calling "login items" "startup items" any more, but I wish Apple would put some more thought into how they decide to label these things because they have created unnecessary confusion.
Ok back to the point... assuming your system is set up to use the "English" language, for the commands in my previous post, use the user's "Short Name", as it appears in the "Accounts" pref pane. It is usually the same as the name that appears on the user's "home" folder. Note that the command is case-sensitive.

Contacts book will not accept my Mail password

My contacts book will not accept my Mail passwords. I've deleted the prefs without it solving the problem. First I keep getting a pop-up that says it can't connect to my account and to put in the password. I do, over and over until I get an alert saying it's a CoreDaverror1. I don't know what to do. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Just so we're clear this is an iMAC issue not an ipad or iphone issue.
This all began when I received a message. My Mail account was set up as a POP account. When I opened a message from a cllient my screen "blipped" and suddenly I'm taken to my Mail preferences and my pop accounts were changed to IMAP accounts!! I saved my messages, deleted both accounts and used the Mail wizard. To my surprise I was not given the chance to choose a POP account again. All it did was automatically choose IMAP, I had no manual ability to change it.
After this, my contacts address book continually asks for my passwords and won't connect to whatever server it's trying to connect to.
Please note that I'm not a techie beyond a certain point.
I called Apple but they wouldn't answer my question unless I paid them $85! I called the Apple Store where I purchased my iMAC and I may have to bring it in for repair.
Believe me, I tried everything to get my Mail accounts back to POP. Even reinstalled my complete system. Didn't do a thing. And the system won't let me delete Mail and reinstall it, as it's part of the system.

Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.

I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

Apple id password not accepted on icloud

why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.

Signed up on furefox desktop 2/2. No problem. Today password not accepted. Asked for help 3 hrs ago and never got email and nit in spam

Was sucesssful signing up and using firefox on desktop yesterday. Today user name and or password not accepted. Can't get emails-nothing. Asked for help with password and never got email. This was 3 hrs ago and not in spam folder

Password for what? Signing up for what?
Firefox doesn't need a password for a person to be able to use it.
Firefox shouldn't affect your ability to get email - Firefox doesn't do email, but it will allow you to access your web-mail service.

Changed Yahoo password not accepted

I changed my password for Yahoo and Messenger. With the new one I can log on to the web site and also to the Yahoo Messenger program. But iChat no longer lets me in to my Yahoo account. I always worked before. And I have changed the password to the new one in the preferences. A pop up continually happens telling me to insert the correct one which I do. But it will not accept me.
Should I do something in the keychain? I see both the old and the new one are there.

Hi,
I would tend to delte the older entry then. (The Keychain just keeps them all when you change things)
When you double click the entry you should gte the info Panel.
This has two Tabs.
In Access does it say Allow All apps or is it set to "Restrict to Specific apps"
If it is the second is iChat Listed ?
The Safari thing might be a setting that Safari uses to Open an App that can deal with a Link.
(I must admit I don't use Safari and can't find where it has the MIME Settings)

Admin password not accepted anymore - but it's correct

Hi,
i have a strange problem in Lion 10.7.5:
My admin password is not accepted anymore in Lion. Whenever i'm asked to enter the Admin password, the window closes (therefore: no "wrong password" message or something else) but the process isn't continuing (for example an installation). There is no change or progression.
The password is definitely correct, i was also able to change it or use it in the terminal (where it is accepted). But i'm still not able to use it within Lion.
Tried also to boot in single-user mode and change the password there via "passwd username" but i'm getting a "The daemon encountered an error processing request" error message.
Read somewhere else, that i should repair permissions and/or keychain first aid. Tried both but the problem still exists.
Does anyone have another idea? I really don't want to restore my system... Actually, how can i do this without an installer disc? Purchased my imac with lion pre-installed - i guess i would have to reinstall all my applications?
Thanks for your help!

Blackberry Appworld Issue BBID Password Not Accepted

I have enjoyed my PlaBk for almost a year but this has never happened. I attempted to purchase an app. When asked.com for my BBID password it would not accept it. I tried a few times more without working. So I went to Blackberry and changed my BBID password. But back on the playbook it still not accept my password. .
Something else...in MyAppWorld, when I try and re-install an previously uninstalled app, I get a 0003-0005 error on the screen of my PlaBk
When I go to the Blackberry ID in the Options, the message comes up 'Unable to Connect'
But I am connected via WiFi and I can go onto appworld???
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The router seems to be doing its job alright with all aspects of playbook connectivity seeming to work flawlessly. The more I read though, the more it looks like the playbook and the blackberry ID software is in some kind of conflict. So the BBID works on the phone, and on the website, but still not the playbook. A "003-005" error is generated when I attempt to update software from MyAppWorld. If I attempt to purchase, a network error is reported

Admin password not accepted in Parental Controls 10.8.2

When logged in to my kids accounts I am trying to make changes to System Prefs and open allowed apps. (those I have ticked as allowed in Parental Control prefs) and the admin name and password is rejected and I get the 'wobble box'! Arghhh!!!!!!!
The same admin. name and master password are accepted when logging in to my main account and everywhere else...just not in parental controls. None of the ticked allowed items can be opened by parental controlled accounts.
Makes the parental controls totally unusable.
Bug! Bug! Bug!

This is an should be an easy fix. Go to System Preferances and choose users and groups. Click on the lock and type in the admin details. Then click on your account and change the password. Sorry if this doesn't work.

Password not accepted on migrated account

I cannot login to the account (my main account) that I migrated from my old iMac to my new MBP, which I am the only user.
I tried the pw that I had used on the old iMac several times and only got the 'shaking window'. Then went in to the admin account on the MBP and changed the pw for my user account, but it's not accepting the new password either!
Please help as all of the information I use and need is connected to this user account - the only one other than admin.
Thank you

Thanks, I have read through the thread (a few times!) and still don't quite understand what the fix is.
On the new machine - as admin - and in user accounts I can see the migrated account and have tried changing the password. It let's me change the password but it will not let me login with either the new or old password.
I'm get the feeling from reading the thread that the easiest (and quickest) way to get this settled would be to delete the migrated account and set up a new account importing files as needed, is this right?
no, there are alternatives. if the password really does not want to reset you can try deleting the migrated account along with it's home directory and then running Migration Assistant again to migrate just that account only. another option is to try recreating this account but that involves some terminal work. try the following.
enter the following terminal command from the originally created account
sudo dscl . delete /users/username
instead of username put the short user name of the migrated account that's giving you problems. it's the same as the name of that account's home directory in /Users. you'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see). that's normal. this will delete that account but not its home directory. then restart the computer, go to system preferences->accounts and create a new account with the same short user name as the migrated account. use its old password. it will say that a home directory by that name already exists and ask if you want to use it. say "yes". then try logging into that account.
Seems as though that may be a bit of a pain with iTunes lib and iphoto lib etc... aggghhh! Sorry

Changed Password Not working after restart[What to do]

Recently I've changed my password, but it's not working after restart.
I've noticed that, input option is not taking one of the password characters which is '!'.
I've the recovery disks, system accepts my fingerprint too.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Let me explain you what happened.
One evening I was trying to open my ThinkPad. Usually it asks for
fingerprint or password(I'm not sure which password, power-on/hard
drive). But this time I failed using my finger. and I tried with
password, but could not recall.
Then I restart and again tried with finger, this time it worked. Now
after login in Windows XP I removed all old fingerprints and create
few new. When I create new, it was asking for password, or new
password to replace. As I could not recall the pass, I've given new
password to replace.
Now to check I gave a restart. Fingerprint accepted for Power-on but
also asking for password again(Now I can see it's for Hard Drive). I
tried with new password. But it's not working. And even not taking one
character ('!') of the password.
Now can you tell me, if I did change password for Hard Drive in the
last description. Or is that possible to change it from Windows XP
environment. Else it's possible that the Hard Drive password remain as
it was which has been set from ThinkVantage before OS boot. Let me
know if you've any query which I've missed.
Thanks.
