IOS 5.1 Exchange Password Issue

I have searched and read serveral forums lately about this issues however I've been unable to figure out a soultion. It seems every morning the iOS 5 will get a password prompt saying the exchange password is incorrect. When I go to work and connect to the wireless at work my email will start to work, at the end of the day when I go home the email still works on the iPad 2, it's only the next day it won't work. Now, I have another iPad running iOS 4.3.5 that is also configured with my Exchange account and always works at home (I never take it too work), no issues. I have compared the settings (domain, email server, etc) and they are both correct. The only difference that I can see is one is running iOS5 and the other is running iOS 4.
I have also tried the following:
- disabled iCloud account
- created the Exchange account serveral times <- When I do this evern at home, it will always work afterwards, it's not till the next day that I get an error message the password is incorrect.
- Reset the iPad 2, didn't setup iCloud during the setup, setup Exchange - email will work until the next day.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on what I can do for this to work correctly on iOS 5?
James

I solved my the problem by creating another account in Exchange, then open up iCloud change the default email address to this new email address and everything started to work fine on the iPad.
Since we don't use iCloud and I can't delete the account, this was the simpliest solution.

Cannot get past a exchange password issue

Help! Once I log into my Ipad I cannot go past a password sign-in for my exchange email. I have reset the password at work and tried logging in with the new password but no change.

I'm having the same issue. I have to change my exchange password every 3 months at work and I have to do it on the work computer. If I could get to Settings on my iPad I could enter the new password, but I can't get past the error message; hitting cancel only works for a second. How do you get around this?

IOS 6 sync exchange calendar issue

After upgrading to iOS 6, i tried to add an exchange account for my google calendars. I end up in an endless loop of it asking for my password.
Completely delete account and start over only to end up in the same loop. It goes through all the setup, appears to be ok saves the account and then about 10 seconds later starts prompting me for a password...
All settings are correct (server is m.google.com) user name and password are correct.
thoughts?
thanks!

Still struggling with this! From my iPhone (on iOs6) the calendar syncs just fine, also back to calendar in laptop.
In iPad calendar sync stopped happening yesterday some time. Tried many of the suggestions around, culminating in deleting Gmail account and re adding.
I notice that if I just add it with mail it works fine.
If I try to add with calendar or notes it will not work. Further, if I try to add calendar or notes AFTER adding account with just mail, it sits there saying "turning on calendars/notes" for ever. Nothing happens.
I can access all Google capabilities with Google iPad app, but that rather negates the benefit of having your calendar accessible in iPad when offline!
This is clearly an iOS6 and (quite likely iPad specific) issue.

IOS 6/apple id password issues

Any solutions?

What are you doing when you are prompted for the password?

Exchange "Password incorrect" lockout of iPhone

iPhone 3GS
iOS Version 5.0.1
Build 9A405
I have an Exchange email account set up on my iPhone. Now when I turn on my iPhone and "slide to unlock" I am presented with a popup window saying
Password Incorrect
Enter the password for the
Exchange account "Exchange"
{Password }
[Cancel] [OK]
Entering the formerly correct password then [OK] does not satisfy this challenge, the popup returns. If I attempt to [Cancel] the popup returns. I cannot get past this popup window. I'm locked out of my iPhone.
I no longer have an Exchange account. There is no current password to any Exchange account.
I need to gain access to my iPhone in order to remove this account from the email settings. I am unable to get beyond the above popup to do so.

I also just resolved the problem, but differently, and the issue was on the GMAIL side. This is a variation on some people's advice to allow App log-ins.
If you sign in on a computer browser and look at the top of your Gmail mail window, you may see a line above the message list that says something to the effect of "Unusual sign-in location: There have been multiple attempted log-ins from a suspicious source." My first two were from when I was traveling.
I confirmed that those locations were legit, and then there was another prompt asking about another suspicious repeated attempt sign-in, which was my iPhone Exchange, although it was not labeled as such. It gave me an option to forever accept sign-ins from this application (Exchange). I accepted, and all was fixed!
Hope that helps some people.

Bug handling Exchange password changes

My colleagues and I believe we have uncovered a bug with the way iOS 5 handles situations when a user's Exchange password has changed. The iPhone or iPad appears to hit the Exchange server repeatedly with the incorrect password. In my company's environment, this causes the Exchange account to be locked out, as we have a policy in our Active Directory locking the account after a number of bad password attempts.
We had an unrelated incident yesterday that required us to issue new passwords to a number of users. Many of them are now having trouble getting back on Windows PCs and Exchange email because they are iPhone or iPad users and this bug is locking out their accounts.

We have a simular problem, only the account is not locked out (Normaly after 3 tries the user is locked out) and users can still access their e-mail with a wrong password. Sometimes even after 4 days the iphone prompts that the password needs to be changed, but untill that time you can still send and receive e-mail.

Iphone 4s keeps requesting Exchange password

I have encountered a problem with a couple of our iPhones when connected to our corporate Exchange server. iPhones (4s) were recently deployed to our user community. During the initial setup, all phones were able to connect to the Exchange server via ActiveSync. A couple of days later, 2 of our users reported issues with their phones, in which they were constantly prompted for the Exchange password. The users would have to hit cancel repeatedly to, so that they could use their phone. The users’ domain account passwords were not scheduled to be changed. The users re-entered their domain password on their phones. The phones were then working normally at that point. However, I was notified the next day that the problem reappeared. I deleted the users’ account information from their phones, and then performed an upgrade to IOS 5.1. I then added the account information back to the phones. Again, the phones were working initially, then the problem re-appeared. I had the user create new passwords. And again, they are still encountering a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be happening? It's strange these 2 phones are the only ones encountering this problem.
Thank you for your help.

I am not really sure if this will answer you question in one part of you post you say you can download free apps and in the other you say you can't but I will give it my best shot. Itunes (the app store) always needs up to date payment info either a credit card with atleast a dollar on it you wont get charged anything if the app is free this it just to back purchases. Or if you don't want to put you credit card info in you can just get a prepaid itunes card. Itunes will ask for your passcode every fifteen min. you can set it to ask for it every time you purchase something but every 15 min is the norm. Hope this helps.

IOS 5 MS Exchange Problem on iPhone 4

I have updated my iPhone 4 with the new iOS 5. The only issue I am having is that my email (a gmail account) that I use with Microsoft Exchange keeps giving me a "Password Incorrect: Enter the password for the Exchange account." error message. I deleted the mail account, added it again, and it verifies with all check marks just fine. However, the moment you go to check your email, this message pops up. I don't want to use it as POP due to using gmail calendar instead of my mac one. Does anyone know how to solve this? My password is correct, is entered case-sensitive, and etc. I searched the forums, but the other person solved theirs with just re-adding it which isn't working for me.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and support.

Here is the Problem:
IOS5 + iCloud + Microsoft Exchange = Huge Problem.
The problem seems to be caused by the contacts, so what you basically need to do is remove iCloud from your IOS5, Reset Network Settings and then your MS Exchange will work. If you activate iCloud again you will once again end up with MS Exchange not working and eating your battery to pieces.
No idea how to log the problem with Apple so hopefully one of you guys can confirm this and logg the error with them.
iCloud reactivation will work if you NOT Sync Contacts though.
Best of Luck to you all.

How can I get into settings if I don't have the exchange password for my iPod Touch

I can't update my iPod Touch, 4th gen. through iTunes because it says it can't connect. I can't get into my settings because it keeps asking for an exchange password that I don't remember. Is there some way I can reset the iPod without having access to either of these means?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Restoreing from backup will not change the need for the forgotton password if the backup was made with password on the iPod
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Prompts for Exchange password every morning

We recently migrated all of our users over to Exchange 2010. After the switch, some of our iPhone users are receiving a prompt each morning to enter their Exchange password. If the user clicks "OK" or "Cancel" the message goes away and their mail works fine the rest of the day. That is, until the next morning when the prompt appears again. I don't know the exact time that this happens, but each user just says when they wake and unlock their phone, the prompt is on the screen. I've been working with MS Exchange support for a month now with no luck. It's such a hard thing to troubleshoot when it only happens once a day and I cannot force the error to happen until the next morning.
This is not happening to all of our iPhone users, just some. My iPhone has been fine from day one. MS Support can't seem to find anything different about my account (or any of the working accounts) compared to the accounts that are getting the prompts.
Has anyone seen this before? Or know how to fix? I've found a couple "fixes" online in some forums but none of them have worked for us.

I have the exact same issue on my iPhone and iPad. Our company just migrated to exchange 2007 in November. Each morning I get the promptmon both devices after unlock. I thought this was due to our company lock out from 12am - 6am for backups, but hearing you have the issue has me thinking it's a software bug.
I also am having isssues with the phone downloading messages. It just keeps saying "connecting" but takes in some cases 30-60 minutes. This is even with 5 cell bars and full n band wifi. I also am running MobileMe and gmail on the phone, but only MobileMe and exchange are set form push.
Please help if you can. Thank you.

Exchange password gone after update

After updating to 4.3.2, the exchange password configured on the ipad was removed and set to empty.
We've noticed this on 4 devices already.
Our others have most likely not updated yet and I'm fearfull that when they do update, they will face this issue.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Hello,
Yes, I experienced this when I upgraded my iPad and iPhone both to 4.3.2. When they restarted and I started Mail, I was prompted for my Exchange password. We use a single sign on via Active Directory so when users were prompted it wasn't much of an issue as they use their network password to log into mail again. Once they did this it remember the password as normal.

IPad loses exchange password often.

Several of our iPads lose their exchange passwords. It will contiually promt for you to reenter the password many times. Even if you put in the correct password, it will kepp prompting. Very annoying and now someone overseas can't get their email which is a major problem. In happens to me on iOS 5 and to others running previous versions.

Has anyone following this thread gotten anywhere with Apple on this? (I know someone was going to the Apple Store to consult with a Genius, interested to know how that went). I opened a ticket with Apple Tech Support and their suggestion was to create a Gmail account (of all things) and see if the problem occured there. Plan on calling them back today before I take off for the Thanksgiving holiday but I doubt they have gone anywhere. We are getting about a user a day we have to walk through the procedure (power off device, restart, reenter password if needed) and it's more of an annoyance than anything else but it would be nice to have this fixed.

Exchange sync issues

I'm having an issue where my Exchange email seems to stop working on a random basis. I have to delete my account and then re-add it in order to start receiving emails again. My gmail and google apps accounts sync just fine. I've checked with our IT department, and other users aren't having the same issue. My phone worked fine up until about a week ago. I deleted the certificate and re-installed it, just to be certain. Any thoughts? Any known issues I should be aware of? Anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks

I'll have to check with the IT department. Unless they have upgraded recently, we are using exchange 2003 SP1. I'll also ask about the test account.
As far as I know, and as far as IT knows, I'm the only one using WebOS. The IT department only "supports" Blackberries & iPhones. I prefer the Pre, and as long as the exchange sync works, I'll stick with it.
I have had the issue happen again several more times. It isn't an "8 am" exactly issue. The other morning I received emails up until 9 or so, then stopped.
I have tried just re-entering my password and that didn't seem to work. Maybe I need to give it a little more time. Maybe I should change my network password and see if that makes any difference. Perhpas that is where the sync "disconnects". Since exchange email works for iPhone users, I have to think it is a WebOS specific issue, versus an exchange issue, or perhaps I should say a WebOS - Exchange connection issue, as opposed to an "exchange" issue.
I only asked about the logs because I was involved with a previous exchange sync issue and worked with the support techs several times, and they have asked for several logs.

Iphone emails to PC, but exchange password and account cancelled.

Dear All,
Can anyone explain to me how to transfer emails from my iphone to a PC.
The only catch is that the email account exchange password and account has been cancelled.
However as some of you may know your emails still remain on the iphone.
It means you can acces them and seach through your emails.
I want to be able to place these emails on to a PC.
Thanks all for your help.

Everytime I open my email the password Incorrect screen appears. It says "Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange"". I have a second email address that was being transferred to my Iphone, but when I lost my original phone and replaced it this July, I hav'nt been able to retrieve this old password. The Apple store rep said to contact Microsoft for this info, but that's next to impossible!! I had a very old hotmail account but that's been closed for over two years, and my other email adress has nothing to do with them. So I'm at a loss on how to change this password??
Thanks, wtadams

I have set up a new itunes library and am trying to sync this with my iphone. My iphone is asking for an 'exchange' password. I don't know what this is or where to find it.

I am trying to sync my iphone with a new itunes library. The iphone is askin for an 'exchange' password. I don't know what this is or where to find it.

Sounds like you do have an Exchange account setup on your phone. Have a Gmail or Hotmail account? They can both be setup as Exchange accounts. Have a work email account?
