3GS WEP/WPA2 passwords not accepted

I just replaced a failing Netgear Wireless-G router and now I just put in a Fry's generic Wireless-N router with my Comcast hi-speed internet. I put in a WEP security password and my MacBook Pro and HP laptops connected perfectly. My 3GS & 4GS kept saying the password was invalid. I then changed the router security code to a WPA version. Both laptops connected fine, but the two iPhones still say the password or code is invalid. After about 5 hours i came back tried the wi-fi on the phones with the code and they work, but if i change the router back to a WPA code, the phones won't connect. And despite them finally connecting, the speed of page loads is extremely slow, yet blazing fast on the laptops. I've never had speeds on the 3GS this slow. no matter what site it just drags even with the wi-fi icon showing full strength (i'm right next to the router) Any ideas?

i am in exactly the same boat as of last night!? very wierd, and like you everything else is connected ok via wep key password but the iphone does not want to know. i tried manually entering the hub name and wep key but this method the iphone cannot find the hub (i have a BT hub )

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.

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.

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.

Password not accepted for network

Hi,
im having a problem connecting to my home network as it will not accept my password . The ipod keeps displaying 'incorrect password for'..., the encryption is WEP based but i have also tried using WPA. There is nothing wrong with the system as my laptop is always connected to the network
Thanks

ngfjdgbkrngljr,
You can try entering the 13 character ASCII key with "quotes" around the key.
If that does not work you may have to get the HEX key from the router configuration page.
It may be easiest to contact the router manufacturer or Internet Service Provider that gave you the router and ask them howto configure the router with WPA2 Personal wireless security. These links will show why WPA 2 personal is easier to use.

Why is wireless password not accepted?

Hi Again!
Does anyone know why my wireless password isn't accepted at home or anywhere where Wi-Fi is provided? At home, I must enter the key code from my Linksys router set-up in order to connect. It will not accept my normal password. When I'm out at a cafe or other Wi-Fi locations, my iBook will never accept the establishment's password. My partner took the iBook (G3 12" 700mhz) with her on her road trip to California. The only places that she was able to connect were places without password protection. The WEP option is selected when trying to connect, but I have also tried the others without success.
I have looked through the settings on Internet Connect and System Preferences>Network and everything seems to be in order. The Internet Connect Help menu provided no help at all.
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 with all updates and the original Airport card for G3s.
Any ideas out there? I am fully prepared to be humbled and embarrassed by the likely simple solution to this. No need to spare me.
Thanks!
Randy

Hi, is the WEP PW 13 ASCII or 26 HEX?
Any strange characters in it?
What brand/model Router is it?
Might try this...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point(s) and Remove your access point(s) with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry(ies).
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
BTW, WEP only takes a few seconds to break anymore, not much security at all.

Hard Drive password not accepted in new W530

I am moving a hard drive from a W500 to a W530 laptop. The hard drive has a password on it and it works fine on the W500. When I put the drive in the W530 laptop, it does not accept the password on boot up. If I move the drive back to the W500, it all works fine. This is a 1TB drive, so I'm hoping I can still use it! Thanks for any help here.

Good afternoon and welcome to the community.
Since the HDD password is accepted when it's installed in the W500, why not pull off the password in BIOS there, reinstall the drive into the W530 and then set the password in the W530's BIOS?
Regards.

ID password not accepted anymore (once worked)

Good morning,
I am kind of desperate...and I hope somebody is familiar with this problem.
I have adobe reader 11 XI, the latest version.
I am taking a trainingcourse at Learningtrain. They provide lessonmaterial with certificates / id only.
I created an ID and sent that to my teacher. fyi: I was strongly advised to switch off the automatic update option..as adobe deletes id's... and i did.
The teacher had it all set up. And it worked! I could succesfully open the material with my password.
now the issue:
But it only worked once! Very strange. the ID is still there,but adobe does not accept my password any more
so i cannot open the file anymore. My home work is due today... and it is a lot ;-)
I have checked and double checked my password and is must be correct.
My teacher advised me to delete this id, and to create a new one. but that does'nt work as reader still askes
for my password when i want to delete the id.
so i decided to deinstall reader and install again (who knows...) but it lookes like i cannot delete it.
fyi: I also have adobe acrobat pro on my pc as i have the whole adobe css range. but I have exclusively used the reader.
Hope you can help me.
Kind regards Asha

Well, if you can't uninstall Reader, you probably have something wrong. But, if you were advised against updating, uninstalling will surely be worse!
I'm afraid I don't know what kind of password this is, there are so many possibilities. What does the prompt say? A screen shot would be good (BUT DON'T TRY TO EMAIL IT IN REPLY).

User password not accepted after migration

Source: iMac Lion OSX.7.4 Destination iMac OSX6.8
Problem: user password is not accepted after migration
What I did: Tried to migrate over the LAN, but in the migration assistant the other Mac was mutually never recognized. (Did migrations several times successfully in our LAN before). Last time the LIon Mac was the destination, who is now the source.
I backupped then the user with Time machine on the Lion and installed it with the migration assistant on the Snow Leopard system. As as the password was not accepted, I repeated the backup/migration process once. No help
I reset in System Prefs/User accounts the password of that user. But cannot login either
First time, that a migration process fails for me.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Urs

The target computer itself has admin accounts thats not the problem, I can access it. The issue is that the migrated additional user account is not accessible with its password.
I have found here an istruction how to reset a password in single user mode.
http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
But that does not help either.The answer after the dscl -passwd command is that I do not have access (or similar, I don't remember)
My guess is that backward migration (Lion to Snow) causes the problem. May be I need to create the user freshly and to copy his documents manually

HomeHub 2.0 Password not accepted after factory re...

I have done several password resets after carrying out a restore to factory settings, but as I soon as I type in the new password, it does not accept it. I know for sure the password is the one to which I set it to. Is is a bug and does anybody have any solutions?
I look forward to hearing any answers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Once you enter your chosen password (twice on initial reset) you should see the 'proceed with' button
I've just checked and its working fine for me.
When I clicked the settings tab I am not asked to put the password in.
I get
Basic Settings
This section contains the common settings that most users need to access. Some of these options are listed below.
All the rest should dispaly text
Do you see this on your PC?
What browser are you using IE, Firefox or something else?
edit
Are you clicking on the advanced settings (thats when I am asked for my password and it works for me).

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?
Thxs

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".

Password not accepted by appstore

I wonder why all apps which demand Aplle ID and password like iCloud, Apple support ect. work well on the same imac, but only AppStore DOES NOT accept it (message "password not correct").
I also reset my password - but no result. All works fine, except appstore :-( Antivirus and firewall are switched off. I also tried several suggestions from support community, like updating with MacOSXUpdCombo10 - no way, it won't work. I really need some help !

Try deleting the App Store cache...
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Ppen the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store.

Apple id password not accepted after ipad update to ios5

So I've just upgraded my iPad 2 with ios 5 and the apple id password doesn't work. I've reset the password 4 times now and still it's not accepting it. I've turned off the iPad and tried again and still no joy. Any ideas?

Well this is simular to the problem i have had in rencent log ins on apple. 1. Is the email correct? 2. Did you type the password correct? (There HAS to be an upper case letter in the pass because apple accounts' passwords REQUIRE at least one uppercase letter) If this was not helpful please try again or add more details next time.

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!
