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.

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.

My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

I recently moved back to Australia for school from Canada and signed up for the new iphone 6 plus. After using icloud to save and backup from my previous iphone 4s, all of the apps eventually worked....except for whatsapp. After looking through my phone and numerous chat forums, it appears that my imessage and facetime are stuck in, "waiting for activation".....is anyone else having problems with this?
I am curious as I am unable to receive the whatsapp code to re-activate my application. This brings me to my second question, is this an iphone/apple problem or a whatsapp third party problem?
I've had friends send imessages to me and they appear to coming through. I have already rebooted and restarted my phone numerous time. A strong connection to wifi and data stream have all come in loud and clear.
I have tried all of the directions that were posted and still have no whatsapp and imessage still inconsistent.
Thank you

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.

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.

Emails won't send from Hotmail account on iphone as message says password is incorrect

I recently had a problem with my hotmail account which meant it was blocked and I had to go through a securitiy process to unblock my account and change my password. I can now use my hotmail account again and changed the password on my phone settings to be able to use this account on my phone again. However, when I try to send emails from my iphone from my hotmail account, it says my password is incorrect and the emails won't send. I am also not convinced that I am receiving all emails, although some came through when I initially re-added the account. I have tried to delete the account and add it again, as well as restart my iphone, but I am still having the same problem. The password I have for the account is correct! I would be so grateful if anyone could help.
Thanks.

For anyone else having this problem I have found a solution! You need to change the outgoing server settings as well as the incoming server password which appears on the main settings page. Go into the account in settings and select the box under outgoing mail server. Click on the box under primary server. This will take you to the settings, including the password which you can change.

Your profile is wrong - iPhone 4S do not have IOS 6.0.2.
Switch iMessage off and switch back on again.

Since upgrading to 10.9.3, am unable to connect to wi-fi now. When I try to delete and re-add the network, it says password is incorrect, though it's never changed on the router

Anyone else having trouble with the 10.9.3 Mavericks upgrade. Machine goes to sleep, won't re-connect to the wi-fi I've been using for nearly a year. Deleted all wi-fi networks and locations, went back to start from scratch, not can't add any wi-fi, can see the wireless network and select it, but when I try to enter the password, I get 'password is incorrect' or when I try to connect and finally do enter a password, it says 'Connection timed out'. Very frustrating. No settings have changed on the wireless network as iMac and iPads are still connecting fine.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
