Erase data and all content on iPhone5, but unable to do so, it keeps asking password and keeps saying password is incorrect

I bought new iPhone6, I got all data updated from icloud to new iPhone6.
Now I want to erase all contents from iPhone5
But unable to do so.
Every time it keeps asking for Apple ID password, even though i enter correct password, it keeps saying password is incorrect...

You have apps that need updating that were purchased with that other account.
To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

ICloud saying password is incorrect

I changed password in I forgot and after change iCloud still tells me my password is incorrect!

Guys when I originally had this problem I left it for c. 1/2 day and it seemed to sync up without doing anything else!!!!!! I think there may be a capacity in the 'apple orchard' that cannot cope with user demand. My advise is be patient and escalate if it don't work after a day.

My iPhone 5 just stopped sending iMessages. When I try to log into iMessage it's says password is incorrect ( it's not) I already tried the date

Hello CarenzaRielle,
I know not being able to access your Apple ID can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:
Apple ID: If you forget your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
Refer to the Apple ID Support page if you are unable to reset your password using the steps in this article. If you know your Apple ID password, you can also choose to change your Apple ID or change your password.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

I got the following every 10 minutes. I enter my password and it say it is incorrect. I log into iCloud OK with that password.

where did you get this phone from

I reset my apple ID password but when I sign in to iMessage or iCloud it tells me incorrect password

My iPhone 5 wants me to sign in to iMessage and iCloud. I successfully reset my password using my pc and then tried signing in on my phone, but I keep getting told the password is incorrect. So I restarted my phone and tried again but got the same thing. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi pete7685,
When you go to the My Apple ID website - are you able to sign in with your new password? What about the www.icloud.com website? If the password works in these two places, try deleting the iCloud account and adding it again on your iPhone.
Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355
Follow these steps to change your Apple ID password. If you can't remember your password, follow the steps for what to do if you forget your Apple ID password.
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Click “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you're unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
Click "Password and Security".
In the "Choose a new password" section, click Change Password.
Enter your old password, then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Click Save when done.
The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.

Imessages " telling me my password was incorrect "

Imessages " telling me my password was incorrect "

Okay - tried that and it didn't work either. HOWEVER ...
I SEEM TO HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE! If this happens to anyone else, this might help you ...
A while back I had to set up a second apple ID in order to use the iCloud. So now I have two (annoying), and from what I'm reading on forums, this has happened to many people and you still can't merge accounts. But I digress.
Apparently the apps in question were purchased on one apple ID, but the phone had the other apple ID set within the app store. The store, it seems, will only update the apps if you're logged in as the account that initially purchased the apps. So it means going to Settings > Store > Log out, then log back in with the other ID. Annoying. But at least I know, now, what's going on.
The password, it seems, was right all along (since I have the same password for both IDs). Too bad the phone's error message told me the password was incorrect, instead of saying something more useful like "This apple ID is not authorized to update this app." Or ... something like that. Apparently I've been chasing down the wrong solution due to the wrong error message being given.

New iphone 4s will not connect to home wifi. Says password is incorrect, but it is not.

Please help new iphone 4s from verizon will not connect to my home wifi. I was able to connect to my sister's home wifi without any issues tonight, but now at my home and says password is incorrect. The password is correct. I have an ipod touch gen 2 that connects with no problems.

make sure your home wireless network is not "hidden." Settings -> Wi-Fi -> select your home network, it it's hidden, select "other" and manually type in the network name, password, and select security type.

Password to what? Icloud/apple id/ exchange?

Says password is incorrect, but I know it's not.

When I log into my computer I am able to enter my password and it works just fine. But when I am changing settings or trying to download new software it says password is incorrect. I am not sure what is going on. Any help?

It is OS X Mavericks now, and it is the admin account. I talked to someone from apple this is what he told me to do reset the password with out the correct password.
To Reset the ORIGINAL ADMINISTRATOR password on the Mac, what we need to do is boot to Recovery Partition and use the password reset utility. To do so, we need to use the following steps.
1. With the Mac powered down, go ahead and power it back on holding down the Option key to open the Startup Manager.
2. Select the Recovery Disk or Recovery HD that is listed using the arrow keys and the Return key to select.
3. In the next screen choose the language, then click the arrow button to continue.
4. In the Apple Menu bar at the top, look for the Utilities drop down button, then select Terminal from here.
5. In the new Terminal window, type "Resetpassword" (with out the quotation marks) then press return.
6. The Password Reset Dialogue Box will appear. Choose the Mac OS X hard drive, which is usually listed as Mac HD or Macintosh HD.
7. Select the User account you would like to reset, then enter the remaining information, then click Reset below it.
8. Click Save then choose the red button in the upper left hand corner to quit the application.
9. Choose the Apple logo in the upper left hand corner and select Restart.
10. Once the computer has been restarted you should be able to log in to your Account using the new Password for your user account. You will be prompted to "Create a New Keychain". it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you create a New Keychain.
After you have reset the password for the new keychain, you may be prompted to reset a few passwords. If it is requesting your Keychain password, just use the same password as the one you have just reset.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

TS3304 I have an Ipad1 and an Ipad2. The Ipad1 cannot connect to my wifi and indicates the password is incorrect even though I am using the same password??

I have an Ipad1 and an Ipad2. The Ipad1 cannot connect to my wifi and indicates the password is incorrect even though I am using the same password for the Ipad2??

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
