I am locked out of IMAP for want of a password and I don't know what password is required.

I had an unauthorized attempt to login to my Gmail account which was blocked. Gmail wanted me to change my Google password, which I did. Gmail now works fine, but Thunderbird now asks for:
"Enter your password for -- [email protected]@imap.gmail.com:" to which I have
1. Put in the new password several times and gets rejected each time, and
2. I deleted the old password, as well as the new password, that Thunderbird recorded, several times (The only way to change a password saved by the password manager is to delete it, get prompted for the new password the next time it needs it, and then tell it again to save that password. You can delete the password using Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Passwords -> View Saved Passwords by selecting the password and then pressing the Remove button). I have been prompted for the new
password.
I keep getting the generated tiny reply at the bottom right of my screen" Thunderbird Alert from account [email protected]: Application specific password required: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer=185833 (Failure).
This question is similar to the gentleman having problems in the Uk/Carribean, but Gmail did not generate me a new password, I did.
Any new suggestions welcome!

''""Enter your password for -- [email protected]@imap.gmail.com:"" ''
on imap & smtp servers:: Change user name from [email protected] to pvedxxxxx
Try another client. Perhaps [http://www.seamonkey-project.org SeaMonkey] (requires manual configuration of accounts).
Since this is IMAP your messages are stored on the server, so the following should not cause you to loose any e-mails. Try the following as a last resort.
Delete the account from Thunderbird and then add it; starting over from scratch.

IPad cannot remember wifi password

I am the owner of a new iPad and am having trouble getting it to remember my home wifi password (26 character hex password).
Firstly, I have already tried resetting the network settings but this has made no change. Secondly, once the password is entered, there is no option to forget the network. Each and every time I turn off my iPad it switches off the wifi and forgets the password. I have, also, tried toggling the 'ask to join new wifi networks' setting but, again, this has done nothing to resolve the issue.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

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.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I got locked out from my iPad mini during setup, keep ask me for passcode but I didn't set one up. Reboot unsuccessful, iTune won't let me connect because I didn't enter my passcode. How to fix this?

I got locked out from my iPad mini during my initial setup. Keep ask me for passcode but I haven't setup one. Reboot and restart didn't solve the problem, tried connect to iTunes but it won't let me because it requires the passcode. Tried my Exchanged password, Apple ID password and my iPhone passcode but none work. Any idea to resolve this?

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.

HT4061 I am locked out of my Ipad it wants my passcode that I do not have?

Iam locked out of my Ipad. It wants a passcode that I do not have. I have tried the re-boot and that did not work. This is a hand me down ipad and it was working
for about a month then today it wanted this passcode? Don't know what to do I have a pc would that help me? Bobby

The only "official" way to recover from a lost or forgotten passcode to restore the iPad as a new device. Doing so completely erases the iPad.
However, if you are really running iOS 3.1.3 as your system information suggests, you may be able to extract the passcode with techniques you can find on You Tube etc.
Later versions of iOS encrypt the restrictions passcode very securely so such techniques will no longer work.

Will the iPad power up by holding down on the power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If it does, try restoring using recovery mode.

I just downloaded IOS 8.5.3 on my iPad3. Now I cannot open it. Whenever I touch the screen Siri tells me what I am doing, but nothing works: I cannot enter my password and I cannot slide to open. I am frozen out from my iPad

I just downloaded IOS 8.5.3 on my iPad3. Now I cannot open it. Whenever I touch the screen Siri tells me what I am doing, but nothing works: I cannot enter my password and I cannot slide to open. I am frozen out from my iPad

you are right about the IOS number. I couldn't access my iPad so I guessed and guessed wrong about the number. It was the latest upgrade offered by Apple for my iPad, which I dowloaded and installed. I have done some sleuthing and discovered that some of the problems are the result of the Accessibility - Voiceover being activated. Once I figured that out, I was able to navigate somewhat better, though I now cannot turn Voiceover off. I slide the button and it just revert to On. The other problem I have now discovered that the iPad only rarely will accept my password. This is a password that I know and love and use many times during the day (as all of us iPhone and iPad users do) Now it seems to reject my password 80+% of the time. I would disable password protection if I could. I think I am going to have to talk to Apple directly but wonder if anyone else has had this kind of trouble with the newest IOS. It worked fine on my iPhone.
I will try triple tapping the home button if I can ever get it opened again.

HT1766 My daughter locked herself out of her phone cannot remember the advanced password setting, we share an Itunes account and both recently joined the cloud, if she resets her phone all her information will be gone, will it affect the data on my phone

My daughter locked herself out of her phone cannot remember the advanced password setting, we share an Itunes account and both recently joined the cloud, if she resets her phone all her information will be gone, will it affect the data on my phone as well

No, when resetting an iPhone it resets the actual data contained within the phone, nothing on your iCloud will be affected. It is a good idea to use seperate iClouda and iTunes accounts then you can each create your own backups regularly without your daughters backup overwriting yours or vice versa.

I do wrong password several times then lock my ipad. i know right password now but my ipad do not want password and that is lock

i do wrong password several times then lock my ipad. i know right password now but my ipad do not want password and that is lock
please help me

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
