Exchange password

I changed my exchange password today on my laptop and iphone without a problem. However, now when I turn on my ipad, it asks for my exchange password. I type in my new password, and it says "password incorrect" and immediately pops up the keyboard again. I managed to get into settings by double clicking the home button to get icons across the bottom, but as soon as the settings screen comes up, it's made unavailable to me by the stupid keyboard and message asking me for my exchange password. I can't delete the account or change it in any way. This has rendered my ipad useless.

I'm hoping to not have to do anything as drastic as restoring from a backup, if for no other reason than I'm not near the computer that I back this thing up to right now. Hitting cancel doesn't work. I've hit cancel a million times, and I can't ever get a click in between screens... the ipad just puts the next message box up way too quickly. I can't change the settings, because I can't interact with the ipad at all because of the uber persistent dialog box requesting my password that it insists is wrong (which it isn't). What the heck!

Iphone emails to PC, but exchange password and account cancelled.

Dear All,
Can anyone explain to me how to transfer emails from my iphone to a PC.
The only catch is that the email account exchange password and account has been cancelled.
However as some of you may know your emails still remain on the iphone.
It means you can acces them and seach through your emails.
I want to be able to place these emails on to a PC.
Thanks all for your help.

Everytime I open my email the password Incorrect screen appears. It says "Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange"". I have a second email address that was being transferred to my Iphone, but when I lost my original phone and replaced it this July, I hav'nt been able to retrieve this old password. The Apple store rep said to contact Microsoft for this info, but that's next to impossible!! I had a very old hotmail account but that's been closed for over two years, and my other email adress has nothing to do with them. So I'm at a loss on how to change this password??
Thanks, wtadams

I have set up a new itunes library and am trying to sync this with my iphone. My iphone is asking for an 'exchange' password. I don't know what this is or where to find it.

I am trying to sync my iphone with a new itunes library. The iphone is askin for an 'exchange' password. I don't know what this is or where to find it.

Sounds like you do have an Exchange account setup on your phone. Have a Gmail or Hotmail account? They can both be setup as Exchange accounts. Have a work email account?

Exchange password, what is it and why does my phone keep asking for it?

For the last two days, my phone periodically wants me to enter an exchange password. This is the first I ever heard of it so can't figure out what it is.n I though exchange was a Microsoft product so what's it doing on my Apple iPhone. I just upgraded the 3GS phone to iCloud.

make sure you don't have 2 step verification in gmail.
otherwise you need to follow
Signing in using application-specific passwords
The codes that you’ll get with 2-step verification don’t work with all applications. There are a few applications that use information from your Google Account (like the Gmail application on your phone, or Outlook) that require another type of code. These are called application-specific passwords.
Some devices and applications that use these special passwords include:
POP and IMAP email clients such as Outlook, Mail and Thunderbird
Gmail and Google Calendar on smartphones
ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone
YouTube Mobile on Apple devices
Cloud Print
Installed chat clients such as Google Talk and Adium
3D Warehouse, Sketchup, and installed applications
AdWords Editor
Sync for Google Chrome
Gmail Notifier
How to generate an application-specific password
Unlike a verification code that you receive from your phone or through Google Authenticator, application-specific passwords are generated. You don’t have to memorize them, ever - you simply generate a new one each time you need to sign into a particular application. Follow the steps below to generate your application-specific password:
Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page (pictured below) under your Google Account settings.
Under the Application-specific passwords section, enter a descriptive name for the application (label 1) you want to authorize, such as "AdWords Editor – Desktop," then click “Generate application-specific password" (label 2).
You'll then see the application-specific password you just created (3). You'll also see the name you wrote in for the device (4) and a link to Revoke (5) -- or cancel -- the code.
Once you click Done, you’ll never see that application-specific code again. But don't panic: You can generate a new one whenever you’re prompted for an application-specific password by a non-browser device or application -- even a device or application you’ve authorized before.
Using application-specific passwords
When prompted for a password when you sign in to a non-browser application or device that accesses your Google Account:
Enter your username.
Enter your application-specific password in the password field.
If your application has an option to remember your application-specific password or stay signed in, you can select that option so you won’t have to generate and enter a new application-specific password each time you access your account from this application or device.

Prompted for Exchange password, but no Exchange account

I have a user that has an iPhone 3GS and she says it was updated a month ago. Today the iPhone started to ask her for her Exchange password continuously. After removing the Exchange account from the iPhone, removing the pairing from Exchange server, closing all open apps, and a hard restart, the iPhone prompts for the Exchange password after a reboot. The strange thing is the account has been removed and the prompt doesn’t look like a normal dialog. I’m thinking herphone has been compromised. Any suggestions?

Here is my iPhone dialog box prompt. Not only does it look different, but it specifically states what account.

How can I get into settings if I don't have the exchange password for my iPod Touch

I can't update my iPod Touch, 4th gen. through iTunes because it says it can't connect. I can't get into my settings because it keeps asking for an exchange password that I don't remember. Is there some way I can reset the iPod without having access to either of these means?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Restoreing from backup will not change the need for the forgotton password if the backup was made with password on the iPod
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT1567 How do I find what my exchange password is

I cannot log in to my e mail on my phone. It is asking for an exchange password, I do not remember ever creating one. Any ideas how I find it ?

Network password for which network?
And you are syncing your iPad for what with this network?

I changed my Exchange password in accounts but Notes continually prompts me to enter the new password. How do I fix that?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks. I also recently changed my Exchange password. I went into System Preferences > Accounts and updated the Exchange password. Mail works fine. Notes however, continually prompts me to enter my password every 10 seconds. What do I do to fix it?

when you go to system preferences>internet accounts and then choose your exchange account, is "Notes" checked?

Prompts for Exchange password every morning

We recently migrated all of our users over to Exchange 2010. After the switch, some of our iPhone users are receiving a prompt each morning to enter their Exchange password. If the user clicks "OK" or "Cancel" the message goes away and their mail works fine the rest of the day. That is, until the next morning when the prompt appears again. I don't know the exact time that this happens, but each user just says when they wake and unlock their phone, the prompt is on the screen. I've been working with MS Exchange support for a month now with no luck. It's such a hard thing to troubleshoot when it only happens once a day and I cannot force the error to happen until the next morning.
This is not happening to all of our iPhone users, just some. My iPhone has been fine from day one. MS Support can't seem to find anything different about my account (or any of the working accounts) compared to the accounts that are getting the prompts.
Has anyone seen this before? Or know how to fix? I've found a couple "fixes" online in some forums but none of them have worked for us.

I have the exact same issue on my iPhone and iPad. Our company just migrated to exchange 2007 in November. Each morning I get the promptmon both devices after unlock. I thought this was due to our company lock out from 12am - 6am for backups, but hearing you have the issue has me thinking it's a software bug.
I also am having isssues with the phone downloading messages. It just keeps saying "connecting" but takes in some cases 30-60 minutes. This is even with 5 cell bars and full n band wifi. I also am running MobileMe and gmail on the phone, but only MobileMe and exchange are set form push.
Please help if you can. Thank you.

I keep getting prompted for my exchange password for my work email when I try to update

Enter the correct password in the account under Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.

IOS 5.1 Exchange Password Issue

I have searched and read serveral forums lately about this issues however I've been unable to figure out a soultion. It seems every morning the iOS 5 will get a password prompt saying the exchange password is incorrect. When I go to work and connect to the wireless at work my email will start to work, at the end of the day when I go home the email still works on the iPad 2, it's only the next day it won't work. Now, I have another iPad running iOS 4.3.5 that is also configured with my Exchange account and always works at home (I never take it too work), no issues. I have compared the settings (domain, email server, etc) and they are both correct. The only difference that I can see is one is running iOS5 and the other is running iOS 4.
I have also tried the following:
- disabled iCloud account
- created the Exchange account serveral times <- When I do this evern at home, it will always work afterwards, it's not till the next day that I get an error message the password is incorrect.
- Reset the iPad 2, didn't setup iCloud during the setup, setup Exchange - email will work until the next day.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on what I can do for this to work correctly on iOS 5?
James

I solved my the problem by creating another account in Exchange, then open up iCloud change the default email address to this new email address and everything started to work fine on the iPad.
Since we don't use iCloud and I can't delete the account, this was the simpliest solution.

When i try to get a App it asks for my exchange password and im not real sure what that means?

I have a iphone3 and when i try to get a App it is asking for my EXCHANG password and im not sure what that is. Its not my apple account password bc i tried that, someone please help!

Do you have an Exchange Mail account on your phone? "Get an App" - are you referring to downloading from the App Store? That should NOT ask for an Exchange acct password, only your iTunes account password.

Why does my ipad keep asking for exchange password when I go into my mail

Since yesterday when I turn on my ipad and go into check my mail it keeps coming up with a box saying the exchange password is inncorrect but it's not been changed since it was set up.

I was tinkering with it last night and found that the mac mini didn't like the frequency that the router was using to communicate. I changed from channel 6 to channel 9 and the problem went away. Perhaps an auto setting would have worked but I'm using and older Linksys router and the auto was not an option.

I reset my exchange password and now I am receiving an error messsage on my ipad. I can't cancel it to change it in settings

I reset my exchange password and now I am getting an error message saying the password is incorrect on my ipad. I can't cancel the message to get to settings to change it.

Try pressing the sleep and home buttons both together for about 5 seconds and reboot the device. Once the iPad reboots you should be able to go into the mail settings for that account and update the credentials.

Cannot get past a exchange password issue

Help! Once I log into my Ipad I cannot go past a password sign-in for my exchange email. I have reset the password at work and tried logging in with the new password but no change.

I'm having the same issue. I have to change my exchange password every 3 months at work and I have to do it on the work computer. If I could get to Settings on my iPad I could enter the new password, but I can't get past the error message; hitting cancel only works for a second. How do you get around this?
