Intitial setup will not accept apple id or password

Just purchased an iPad 4 64 g with wifi, going throught the configuration process and cannot get past the Apple ID login.  I get an error stating "Incorrect Apple ID or Password"  I have reset the password and am using the correct Apple ID.
Help

Why don't you skip that step until you get the iPad activated and then troubleshoot it after the iPad is usable? You do not have to enter your Apple ID and password during activation, unless you are trying to restore from the iCloud backup.
The backup will still be there to restore from anyway after you activate. It is tied to your Apple ID. Your password is tied to your ID, but the password can be changed without having to create a new Apple ID and you do want to continue to use the current Apple ID.
Have you tried restarting the iPad and just start all over again?
IMO - resetting the password can cause problems so don't do that over and over again if it didn't work the first time.

  • Apple TV will not accept Apple ID and password

    I use Windows 7 and just installled Apple TV on my TV and have connected it to my Wireless network. HOWEVER when I try to access Netflix as a new user my Apple ID and Password does not connect me to Netflix. how can I fix this?

    I finally went to General/Reset/Reset All Settings    Before I could get it to work. *****. I blame the latest update, but that's just because I have no other significant event on which to place the blame.
    Use case when mine got hosed; in case Apple is reading:  was watching a rented movie.  Paused it for an extended period of time (helping wife with groceries). While I was away it went to screensaver and eventually went to sleep. Upon return, I hit menu to bring it back to life and was greeted with the authentication error.   Bah!

    iPad 2 will not accept Apple id and will not let me do anything on it. It just keeps popping up on my screen

    Don't know how it happens. Have you signed in successfully with your Apple ID in App Store or iCloud? Is your iPad connected to network?
    You should make sure that your iPad is connected to a stable network. And then you should type in the correct Apple ID password.

  • When starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names

    when starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names, I had just entered my info and clicked on "continue", the cube began to turn and froze, a translucent screen came over the whole window and request that I restart the computer, after doing so, I got the start up sound and a message saying that OS X was starting up and then the sign in window, but when I entered my info it kept shaking/rejecting it, only thing I can think is that could I have possibly entered my password wrong twice, don't know, I'm still scratching my head.

    Do it again, I'm afraid. Be sure you set up the initial admin account with a proper password you can remember - all lowercase letters and numbers. No special characters or spaces except for the "_" underline character.

             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup

  • My iPad will not accept my ID and Password

    I just purchased a second hand iPad, I tried to activate it but it will not accept my password. the exact error is " Incorrect Apple ID [email protected] cannot be used to unlock this iPad"

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • TS1398 downloaded iso 7 & itunes 11.1 i phone will not accept icloud or itunes password or onnect to my router

    down loaded iso 7 i phone will not connect to router or accept my i tounes password

    Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
    I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
    To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
    Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

  • ITouch says connect to iTunes, itunes will not accept it due to password.

    My iPod touch has a screen with a USB cable pointing twards the iTunes logo, and I assume that means to connect it to iTunes. When I hook my iPod up to my computer, however, iTunes gives me a message saying "iTunes cannot access this device because it has a passcode lock on it." The problem is, however, that I cannot type the password in on my iPod, because it will not move from the "Connect to iTunes" screen.

    Bump. Help needed PLEASE.

  • Will not recognize apple ID or password

    Trying to set up Apple TV. I enabled home sharing on my ITUNES account on my Mac. The apple TV does not recognize apple ID/password.

    is the atv otherwise able to access internet connect which require no appleID ? such as youtube?
    because if it dont have internet access and is asking for the password for the wifi then your appleid password may not be the same one as the wifi password
