Internet Recovery not accepting wifi password

Hello! I ran disk utility on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.3) and it said that the volume Mac HD is corrupt and needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. I restarted while pressing the command and R key, which starts Internet Recovery. I believe I don't have a Recovery HD.
This is what Terminal shows with the 'diskutil list' command:
#:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Mac HD                  999.9 GB   disk0s2
My problem is that Internet Recovery isn't accepting my WPA2 password which I know I'm typing in correctly.
I just updated to Mavericks a couple of days ago...
Can anyone help?

First try choosing the Recovery disc by pressing the Power button and before the gray screen, press and hold the option key. After a few seconds, 10 to 20, you should receive a screen that gives you options like your normal start-up disc and the recovery disc. Unless that is corrupted too.
If that doesn't work, why not plug your MBP into the router using a cat-5(Ethernet) cable? You only need it to download the Internet Recovery.

Ipad will not accept wifi password

My ipad will not connect to my home wifi internet,it will not accept the password which I have checked many times to make sure it is correct,
can anyone help.

Hi Diavonex Thank you for your reply, Ive tried what you suggested but it hasnt made any difference,although the wireless connection complains my password is wrong, its possible ive put in the wrong email address but when the box to connect to wifi comes up on the ipad screen it no longer gives you the option to enter both email & password, only password, ive tried setting the ipad wireless network settings to factory default but it doesnt work the connection settings are still there & they have a padlock which im assuming means you can not delete them, do you know how I can either delete the wireless network settings & start again or when the ipad wants to connect to the wifi network how to bring up the box with the options to put in both email address & password.

TS1398 my Iphone 4 S will not accept Wifi Passwords - for some Wifi locations

@ some locations my Iphone 4 S would not accept the Wifi Password , gives me a error " incorrect Password " - any suggestiions ? It connects with my Home linksys moderm .

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can
unlock it. If the iPhone is locked to Orange, you have to
work with Orange to get it unlocked. Perhaps someone
more familiar with UK wireless providers will jump in as
to the 30 day period, but generally the wireless provider
sets the unlock requirements. It sounds like Orange is trying
to discourage unlocking or at least make it inconvenient.

IPhone 5 will not accept WiFi password

I reset my network settings (Settings - general - reset - reset network settings), to try and resolve an issue with my cellular signal strength. Now I can not connect to the WiFi network at the company I own and set up. This iPhone always connected instantly.
Every time I type in the correct password, a screen comes up that says "incorrect pasword for XCAF4". I know that this is the correct password.
Has anyone had this issue and if so, what is the solution? I have tried rebooting and performing a hard start on my iPhone. I have turned the cellular and WiFi on and off. I have rebooted the router.

Is your iPhone able to join other Wi-Fi networks?
If it isn't try having a Genius take a look at it.
If it is able to join other Wi-Fi networks, try updating the router and setting it up again with these suggestions in mind -> iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

Just wirelessly connect printer. now internet will not accept my password, session times out,

I have a brother printer that I just connected wirelessly to my airport. It said it was connected. But then I lost my internet connection and when I tried to connect it said my password was invalid. Now I can only connect by ethernet and the printer only works through USB. HELP!

Hey there kristiannie,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your wireless printer isn’t able to join the Wi-Fi network or there’s an issue with your iMac connecting to it. Try running through the troubleshooting suggestions in this article:

My iPod touch 5gen sees the wifi but does not accept the password

My iPod touch does not accept the password for my home wifi but can connect to other wifi like Best Buy's.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My IPad disconnected from my home WiFi and will not accept my password. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

My IPad has disconnected from my home WiFi and will not accept my password. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I would
1. turn off the router for 30sec and connect it to see if it fix it
2. restart the ipad by holding down the on and home button and use the slider
3. update the firmware of the router

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.

After downloading 5.0 , it will not accept my password

After downloading update 5.0 The i-pod will not accept my password. Is there a standard password?

No. There is no standard/defaults passcode. I assume you are talking abut the lock-screen passcode. If so, just restore the iPod from backup. If iTunes asks for a passcode and you can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Your email account is probably a different password.

HT5622 I have a new desktop and re-installed my identity from my airtime back up and on the log in page my picture comes up with my usual password hint, but it is not accepting my password and I do not have the option to reset using my apple id - that par

I have a new desktop and re-installed my identity from my airtime back up and on the log in page my picture comes up with my usual password hint, but it is not accepting my password and I do not have the option to reset using my apple id - that particular function is in grey and cannot be clicked on

Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

ITunes store does not accept my Password anymore.

ITunes store does not accept my Password anymore.

I'm still having the same problem ... 6 months after your original post! I've just had to reset my pw 2 days in a row, and I've been through so many resets over the past 6 months that I'm running out of ideas for passwords that I'll have a reasonable chance of remembering. But I also always make a careful note of my important passwords, and after the 1st "password error" message, I check my list and enter the password very slowly and carefully. So, I think I'm pretty safe in claiming that neither entering the wrong password nor making a typo is the problem!
Oddly, though, I could usually cancel the password-reset process, then go right to the the iTunes Store, where my password would work fine, allowing me to open and view all my account details.
Several months ago, I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Tech Support trying to get this fixed. He was great and we thought he'd found the problem with my account. (When I originally set up my iTunes account 6 years ago, I used a different email address than I used when I set up my new Mac last year, and that seemed to be causing some sort of conflict within my account. Hard to imagine someone might change email addresses sometime over a 6-year period, right? But apparently, the software designers didn't cover that possibility with one of their recent updates of the master system for customers' accounts -- that's the Tech Rep's surmise, not mine.)
Everything seemed to work fine for a few weeks, but then the problem started occurring again ... over and over and over ...

What do I do if my new macbook air does not accept my password even if I've tried more than a few times?

Hi there,
Just bougiht a new macbook air and the start up screen is not accepting my password even though I have typed it in a few times and correctly. I have already used this mac previously for 2 days and have added microsoft office today but this is the first time I have logged in since the installation.
I don't understand why the password isn't being accepted. Could it be the installation? Or do I need to reset my macbook air?
Just a note, I'm not proficient using a Mac.This is my first macbook.
Many thanks for the help.
Tony

You can reset your password with the install cd or usb ...
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.
