Icloud not accepting password

I cannot log into my icloud account and check my email. I have tried on the icloud.com server, my android phone and my mac. The message I receive says my password is incorrect. I have changed my password and logged into account settings with the new password without any trouble. I am really frusterated as I have some important emails I am expecting and need to read and respond.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Yeah I just had this problem this morning - iClould.com was not accepting my password - everything else was - iMac and iPhone and iPod Touch.
Then all of a sudden NOTHING was accepting my password and I had to messages saying that I had to either reset my password or unlock my iCloud account.... Why....? Dunno... it has been working fine since I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud ages ago....
Anyway, after serveral atempts to unlock my account (had to do it on every device) iclould.ciom was still not working - so I had to change my password on everything....
It all works now - except for the time stamp issue on emails on icloud.com here in the UK - time stamps are correct on all other devices - just not on the website.
Hopefully, it'll work now and I won't be asked to change my password every day - that used to happen a lot, but I thought they'd fixed that issue....
Try going through what I've tried and hopefully it'll work for you too....
Cheers,

Intel Imac (snow leopard) Mail/Icloud not accepting Password

I am having a very strange problem since yesterday when mail on my Imac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 started complaining about wrong password.
I reset the account on Mail, deleted the account, set the account back up, reset the password various times but to no avail.
I have mail running also on my macbook running Lion and on my iphone 4 running Ios 5.0.1 and they all work with no problem and they have accepted the new password.
I have tried installing Thhunderbird and tried to configure it on the Imac for use with icloud account but same issue was presented.
I tried setting up the icloud email on my windows 7 pc and had the same issue.
I have also installed the Icloud app for snow leopard and that as well is giving the same error message.
I have tried all the suggestions found in this support forum but none of them have produced positive results.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I could do to have mail working again??
Cheers
Mirco

I reset the account on Mail, deleted the account, set the account back up, reset the password various times but to no avail.
Launch Keychain Accesss located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Locate your mail keychain. You can use the search field top right corner of the window.
Then right or control click the keychain then click Delete.
Now open Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Type in the correct password. You should be prompted to save that information to a new keychain.

I cannot update apps iphone will not accept password

I have a apple id and when I try to update apps on iphone it will not accept password keep asking to reset it same problem with icloud cannot log in will not accept pw I tried creating a new id but same problem

What happens when trying to update via iTunes on the computer?

When i try to open a document, adobe will not accept password

cannot open file because adobe will not accept password adobe x

Odd. I downloaded [DH]RQ-7_UAV_US_Army.pdf which indicates the password you posted, and it opened WITHOUT any prompt for password at all. (Adobe Reader XI Mac OS X 10.8.5)
I downloaded P51D_Mustang_Ferocious_Frankie.pdf and it opens in Preview, Acrobat X, but not Reader XI as you described.
Here's what I did to get it to open.
Open the PDF in Acrobat.
Click File>Properties.
Under the Security tab, click "Change Settings..."
Where it says "Compatibility:" change it from "Acrobat 5 and later" to "Acrobat X and later".
Enter the password (paper-replika.com) below.
Click OK.
Save the PDF.
Open it with Reader XI.
It will accept the password and open the PDF.
This ISN'T a Reader issue, but an issue with the save settings when the PDF was created.
Unfortunately, for those who DON'T have Acrobat to make the necessary changes, it will remain a problem.
Perhaps you could contct the website and inform them that they need to change their compatibiliy settings in their PDFs.
But... It's NOT a Reader issue.

Secured wi fi network gives timeout and will not accept password. Works on i pad and iphone

My Macbook Pro network was secured and worked on ipad and iphone. Now it gives me a "connection timed out" message on laptop and will not accept password. It works on ipad and iphone. Anyone with an explanation. I cannot get it to let me delete from the macbook pro. Had to set a new unsecured network to just get on internet. Running 10.7.4 and is up to date.

I deleted all and then set up an unsecured network. When I go to system preferences>Network and where the Network Name is, I click join other networks, then click show networks the secured net work is still there and when I click on it, it gives me the timeout message. This is causing a problem in trying to get my wireless printer back on line as it keeps going to this secured network. Can you help with this problem. I would like to remove the secured network completely from my computer. I have gone to the Advanced and deleted all. The only one showing there is the unsecured network.

After upgrade to ios6 iPad does not accept password to wifi, I cannot connect to internet. Pls help me...

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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

HT2954 email will not accept password

email will not accept password

Hi Colby,
I'm thinking they might slowly be warning people that mobileme is going away , & you have to switch by June or so. And, it seems many iDevices have this detection or change worked in, but not Macs running older OSX versions.
Might as well setup a new account now.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
▪ Server name: imap.mail.me.com
▪ SSL Required: Yes
▪ Port: 993
▪ Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
▪ Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
▪ Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
▪ SSL Required: Yes
▪ Port: 587
▪ SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
▪ Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
▪ Password: Your iCloud password

Encrypted drive will not accept password when re-mounting via Disk Utility

I have used the 'whole disk encryption' on one of my external HDDs. Sometimes i eject the drive when i don't need it because it's in a 4bay housing along with 3 other drives. I do this because OSX wakes up all my drives even for mundane tasks like safari browsing or even looking for a dictionary definition. But anyway, my problem is if i want to re-mount that encrypted drive from disk utility (left mouse click on greyed out drive and re-mount) it does not accept my password. I get the little shake like i typed it in incorrectly. Anyway, i tried it like a dozen times and received a dozen shakes of negativity.
If i swith off the drive unit and swith back on again the password is accepted just fine..
Can anyone else test this so i can mark it up as a Lion bug? Or is there something else i need to try?
Thanks
Si

Cannot log in to Windows; will not accept password

Shutdown my Windows 8.1 tablet last night normally with no unusual issues. Will not accept the password this am. Have checked to see that correct pword was entered.

I am having the same problem. Have a Satellite C55-B5240 running Windows 8.1 that is only 2 weeks old. Shut down last night and this morning cannot get past the log in screen. Checked and rechecked the caps, the password, even went on to another computer and changed the password 6 times. I can get on with any of the other pc's but not the new one. On-line-chatted with Microsoft and spoke to 3 different techs. They all said the same things...it was beyond their expertise and I should contact Toshiba, get the Windows 8.1 key from them, and reload 8.1!! Very funny. I can't even get online let alone download anything. They were no help whatsoever! Spent 2 1/2 hours on chat with them. I don't know what to do other than call Toshiba on Monday.

For about 2 weeks I have been unable to leave feedback on ebay. Firefox brings up login page but will not accept password. I am having the same problem with my yahoo email. It will not accept my passwords, so I have to use IE to login to these accounts.

On yahoo email, it accepted my login id, but not password. This started on one account about two weeks ago. Today when I tried to login to another yahoo email, which worked yesterday, but it would not accept my password on this account.
I bought some items on ebay and wanted to leave feedback. When I clicked on the leave feedback button a sign in window appeared, this should not have happened, when I tried to sign in, it would not accept my password. I called ebay and was told they have had many complaints from customers using firefox when trying to leave feedback. The help desk suggested I try with Internet Explorer, I did, and it worked perfectly.
I have been using firefox for a long time and really do not want to go back to IE, but when I cannot sign into my accounts, I can't, so I will have to use IE.
As far as I know, no new programs have been installed on this computer.

Could there be something wrong with your router if ipad or i phone will not accept password saying it is wrong and yoy know it is right

could router WiFi be defective if it will not accept your password saying it is incorrect it is 2 yrs old.

The router could be defective but if you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is with your network. Try restarting your router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

System Prefs Not Accepting Password Change

I've changed my password by starting up from my system CD (OS X 10.2) several times. When I try to unlock my system preferences, i either get the message:
"You must type an administrator's name and password or phrase to make changes to System Preferences. Please try again." or
"Sorry, you entered an invalid user name or password. Please try again."
I must be missing a step somewhere. The previous password is long since lost and for some reason it's not accepting the new one. Can anyone advise?
Appreciatively,
Charles

Charles (and Ranmar):
Welcoome to Apple Discussions.
I think you will find the help you need in the article Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password.
Please post back with any further questions or comments.
Good luck.
