Exchange email says incorrect password

I've set up a microsoft exchange email on my iphone, and it worked great for a few hours, but now it keeps popping up and telling me I have the wrong password. I haven't changed the password and I entered the same one in my phone that I use to log in via computer. I am 100% certain I've entered the right password. Is there something I can do to fix this?

What you are getting might be different. An *Incorrect Password* message on a POP3 account means that either a session did not complete or another computer is accessing the POP3 server. It is NOT an iPhone error or even a problem; that is what is supposed to happen.
This should never occur on an IMAP or Exchange Activesync account, however, as these protocols were designed to support multiple clients accessing the same server. When POP3 was devised it was assumed that no one would ever receive email on more than one computer; the result is this and other annoying quirks.
I have never seen that error on an Exchange account on the iPhone.

User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Nokia Lumia 520 saying 'incorrect password' after ...

I downloaded the 'Mobile accessibility' app yesterday, it required a reboot and i agreed . After that i entered my password as usual but it say ' incorrect password'
I kept on trying and it said ''try again in 2 minutes'' and i did. But it said it's incorrect and i must try again in 4 minutes. I then took out the battery and put it band. And now it says '' try again in 12 312 minutes''.
Im using a Nokia Lumia 520, please help! What must i do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The app requires diffferent instructions to operate.
You need to double-tap the numbers. So if your PIN is 1234 you need to type 11223344.

I've had to reset my sons iCloud password as we forgot it and it's still saying incorrect password! Any ideas? As we can't even get online on his iPad..

As soon as we turn the iPad on its asks for the iCloud password.. Says it's incorrect.. Try to get online and it comes up again.. Same thing. Then says to go to settings to verify password.. Go into the iCloud settings and it asks for the password again and low and behold it's still incorrect.

Why does my air keep saying incorrect password?

I have never had this problem before.
I was trying to upgrade to LION when it asked for my password, and it just kept saying incorrect password or user name, when I‘ｍ 1000% sure that's the pass I use everyday...and suddenly it just doesn't work anymore. I didn't know what to do...so just kept pressing "enter" out of desperation...and after a few tries, somehow it through!
So I thought it was a one time error, until today, I was trying to update one of my apps, and it denied my password again...
I restarted, and used the same pass to log on, and it was working...
I tried not using any pass at all, and thought that would solve the problem...however, this time, when i "log off" and trying to press enter to log on again...it kept asking for a password this time...
I have no idea what's going on...please help.

I replaced an old airport extreme with a new one. None of my wifi devices will connect - always say incorrect password. Reinstalled old device, works fine. Any ideas?

I have a 5 year old airport extreme. I bought a new one to upgrade for better range. I connected the new one to the internet with a few problems, but a phone call to my internet provider resolved them. With an ethernet cable from the new airport extreme to my iMac, I'm connected. However, none of my wifi devices will connect. They see the network, but it either says "incorrect password" if I'm trying a new network name and password, or it repeatedly asks me to reenter the password if I use the old ones. I reinstalled my old airport extreme and everything works fine. I'm about ready to box up the new one and return it. Any ideas?

It is extremely difficult to fix these issues.. remotely.
If none of your wifi devices work.. that does sound unusual..
Have another try.. This time deal with the COMPUTER only.. leave everything else turned off.
Unplug the Extreme from the router.. reset it to factory.. do this full setup.
Unplug power from the Extreme.. hold in the reset button.. plug in the extreme to power and keep holding in the reset.. 10sec or so the front led should flash rapidly.. release the reset and wait a couple of min.
Now in the computer does the Airport extreme show up under wifi as new device??
Please make sure IPv6 is set to link local only to go further but it should work no matter what the settings are.
No luck clear out all the old wireless names from the computer.. reboot the computer and try again to scan for new wireless devices.
Hold the reset and try again.. it must appear in the wifi to be setup.
No sign of it the unit is faulty and can be returned.

I keep getting emails saying my password has been changed , everytime i go reset it with stronger passwords, but it keeps happening, anyone got any ideas?

Hi all, I keep getting emails saying my password has changed, I have now reset my password 4 times in the last 2 weeks with stronger and stronger passwords and have also changed my security questions, anyone got any ideas how to resolve this problem?

No. I am a volunteer, not always on good terms with Apple either. I'm sorry I don't seem to have helped but what I told you is what I would tell anyone in your situation.
I hope Thomas r won't mind me pasting one of his replies, but the thread is so long it could be daunting. Thomas knows about these things.
****** Courtesy to Thomas r.
As has already been pointed out earlier in this topic, the issue is either a repeated phishing attempt (in which someone sends you a faked e-mail, directing you to a faked site, which tries to get you to "log in" so that the hackers can get your ID and password) or someone is repeatedly trying to get access to your account. I'm guessing the latter is more likely... someone's repeatedly trying to reset your password, for who knows what reason, and they're trying repeatedly because they're never getting the password reset e-mail. (Why they would expect to receive that e-mail I don't know... people are stupid.)
Make sure your Apple ID has a good, secure password. (There is no need to reset your own password to do this, just go toappleid.apple.com and change it.) I'd also advise turning on two-factor authentication to further protect your Apple ID:
Apple introduces two-factor authentication
This will prevent password reset attempts, as it will not be possible to even start the password reset process without having access to the device used to receive the code used as the second identification factor.
Hope this helps.

you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

If you've changed your password then you may need to log out the account on your iPad by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

What do i do when i am trying to connect my ipod to a known network and it keeps saying incorrect password when i clearly put it in correctly?

I insert the correct password directly from my router and it says incorrect password, i type it accurately and slowly to ensure i have it right. My family members put the code in and it works on their mac. I look at the info of the network and all of it is blank ? HELP??

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
