Gmail user name or password is incorrect

firstly there is already a thread about this that has been archived and i cant reply there
it was started more than a year ago and there is still no solution or explanation there?
so why was it archived and why am i having this problem on a new iphone4s more than a year later?
this is my first apple product after many years of spending £500+ every year on new devices that just do not work properly
i did fix this problem by visiting this link https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
but today ive had to do it again
so can someone fix it please

Try going to settings then go to mail and then click sign out and then sign back in. That may work.

Error message on IPhone and IPad indicating user name or password is incorrect. Information is the same as on my gmail acct on my Mac

I have a working gmail account on my Mac and the same user name and password for my IPad. I am getting an error message when trying to retrieve mail on the IPad indicating that the user name or password is incorrect. I have tried deleting the account and adding it again, but doesn't solve the problem.

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.

HT201320 gmail account set-up and user name or password is incorrect?

Went through the set-up for gmail and iPad says user name or password is incorrect. Is there something I need to change on my gmail account settings that would allow my iPad to access account?

The phone is not deciding that your password is wrong. Google is. I'm sure you can find the answer you're looking for if you actually read the google help pages. This is a common problem.

Cannot send email user name or password is incorrect

I have an iPhone 3Gs with 6.1.6 iOS software and gmail. Until last week I could receive and send emails on my phone. Last week I tried to email a photo from my iPhone and received the following message "Cannot send email the user name or password is incorrect". About 30 minutes later I received an email message from google accounts with a sign-in attempt blocked message. Since then I have not been able to send an email from my phone. Every time I try to send an email I get the "User name or Password for Gmail is incorrect" - message. I changed passwords but that didn't help. I can receive emails on my phone but I can't send them. The only way I can send email is by clicking on the less secure apps button on the google accounts settings page.. Why do I get this message now and how can I get gmail working on my phone like it used to? If I delete my gmail account does it just remove it from the phone where the same account can be reinstalled or is it completely gone for good?

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

I have a 3G iphone4, iOS 5.1.1. I changed my apple ID and since then iCloud has constantly helpfully let me know that my user name or password is incorrect. I have edited my password in my iCloud account settings, but it won't allow editing my user name

Recently changed my apple ID. On my 3G iPhone 4 iCloud has since then been letting me know that my user name or password is incorrect. I can edit the password in iCloud account information but user name is grayed out and can't be changed to my new apple ID. Haven't been be able to fix this by going into my Apple ID account or synching the iPhone.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

Trying to access my mobileme account (my email) but I keep getting a message when trying to access my email account: user name or password is incorrect. Help!

Trying to access an old email account through mobileme.com
everytime I try to check my mobileme email a message box pops-up:
User name or password is incorrect.
What can I do? I currently have 2 email addresses hooked up to me.com

MobileMe is closed (as was announced over a year ago). You need to migrate your account to iCloud while you still can - go to http://me.com and follow the link to migrate. You should do this as soon as possible.
Then sign in in System Preferences>iCloud (Lion required) and enable Mail in the checklist there.

I have entered my username and password and the message comes up as User name or password is incorrect, this has frozened this page - so I am unable to use my settings, the rest of the phone is working fine

Try "resetting" the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select that email account and try re-typing in the account's username and password

The report server has encountered a configuration error. Logon failed for the unattended execution account. (rsServerConfigurationError) Log on failed. Ensure the user name and password are correct. (rsLogonFailed) The user name or password is incorrect

I am able to run the report fine in BIDS in the preview window, and it deployes fine. When it goes to view the report in the browser, I get the following error. There is no domain, I am using a standalone computer with SQL Server and SSRS on
this one machine.
Can anyone point to where I might configure the permission it is looking for? thanks! Steven

Steven DeSalvo

Hi StevenDE2012,
Based on the error message "The report server has encountered a configuration error. Logon failed for the unattended execution account. (rsServerConfigurationError)", it seems that the Unattended Execution Account settings in Reporting Services
Configuration is not correct.
Reporting Services provides a special account that is used for unattended report processing and for sending connection requests across the network. Unattended report processing refers to any report execution process that is triggered by an event rather than
a user request. The report server uses the unattended report processing account to log on to the computer that hosts the external data source. This account is necessary because the credentials of the Report Server service account are never used to connect
to other computers. To configure the account, please refer to the following steps:
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server instance you want to configure.
On the Execution Account page, select Specify an execution account.
Type the account and password, retype the password, and then click Apply.
In addition, please verify you have access to the Report Server database by following steps:
Go to SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Manager, make sure the configuration is correct.
Go to Database, Verify that you can connect to the database.
Make sure you are granted public and RSExecRole roles.
Reference:
Configure the Unattended Execution Account
Configure a Report Server Database Connection
If the problem is unresolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed error log, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu

I dropped my 3G phone yesterday and since then it won't receive mail. says user name or password is incorrect. I've checked in settings and re-entered the correct (I think) information and it still doesn't work. I removed then replaced the sim card.

I dropped my phone yesterday and now can't receive mail. I removed and then replaced the sim card. I've restarted the phone. It says the user name or password is incorrect. I re-entered the correct information (I think) and I've also synced it with my computer. Nothing works. Help!

Delete the email account and re-enter it from scratch.
