IOS 7 upgrade. IPAD won't accept my router password now.

I have the latest IPAD. Version 6 worked fine with network connectivity. No issues.
I upgraded to IOS 7 and it prompted me to enter my password. But the "join" button wouldn't light up so I could go to the next step. I put a space in and the join button lit up,   Looked like it wanted one more character in the password to work.
My router is old. It is a Linksys WRT54GS. I brought up the web administration panel (192.168.1.1/Manage.htm) and added one more character to the password.   I have the Linksys EasyLink Advisor and it shows the password is correct.   Once I changed the password, the web administration panel asked me to log in. I typed the new password and it logged me back in. So, I know this is the right one - 2 verifications.
The router SSID is showing as the default LINKSYS. That name also shows up on the IPAD. Also shows up with that name on my Wife's IPAD that still works (older model on Version 5 IOS).    On the EasyLink Advisor it shows up as +wlansetup.register+. Don't know if that means anything.
I have the router set to WPA. TKIP (whatever that means).   I have an encryption key I put in on my laptop but I guess the IPAD doesnt need it.....
I changed the Wireless Channel from 6 to 11.   Turned Airplane mode on and off. Reset all of the settings on the IPAD.   Rebooted both the router and the computer.
Stuck now.   Does anyone have any ideas?   Thanks in advance!

Same thing happened to me. I followed advice from another post and it worked perfectly.
1. On Ipad go to: Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network and reset the network settings. Make sure the airport and Bluetooth settings are turned off.
2. Unplug your router for ~60 sec then plug back in.
3. Power off your Ipad completely and wait one minute, then power back on.
Followed these steps and once both the Ipad and router were powered back on, they could now recognize each other after the update. I went back into Settings to restyle the passcode, which offered the green-lighted "Join" tab and was accepted.

IPad won't accept netgear router PIN number

Hi - I just intsalled new Netgear wn2000 router. My ipad 1 will not accept the PIN number for logging onto the network. My laptop took the number just fine. The pin is 8 numbers and ive typed it in multiple times. I keep getting an "incorrect password" message. My ipad is upto date on software and had no issues with my old dlink router. Any ideas? The netgear websit has nothing. I have reset my network settings on the iPad and it still wont take the number (yes, it is correct and was entered correctly).

My IPAD won't accept my wi-fi password. I have tried resetting all settings and network settings but still won't accept it. Can't download to new version of IOS either, says software update server could not be contacted.

Yes I have put in the correct password, its all numbers so can't get it wrong really.
It has connected before as has my iPod and that won't connect either. I have checked that they aren't on the blocked list of the wi fi. Managed to download the new version of iOS and that hasn't made a difference.
I have the wi fi plugged directly into the computer rather than the booster hub as the computer won't connect to it when its in the hub. I did get the iPad to connect to the internet when it twas in the hub but once I upgraded the iOS it won't accept the wifi password in the hub either.

My iPad won't accept new bookmarks in safari.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Is your iPad recognised by your computer's iTunes when you connect it to your computer ? Resetting a disabled device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If it's not recognised then do you have the latest iTunes version installed on your compute ?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

I pad won't accept my new password

I've changed my password and my ipad won't accept the new password

Did you sign out of the account before you tried to enter a new password on your iPad?

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.

I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.

My iphone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix it?

My iPhone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix this? Or what is the number of an actual person (no AI) that I can contact to help me?

Hi, Did you find a fix for this? I have the same issue, I've logged out of everything I can think of on my phone and logged back in again and it appears to accept the password. Yet when I try and update my apps it says that the password is incorrect! Ive reset my passwords both AOL and Apple. When I log on via a PC it accepts them, but when I try and buy / update something via the app store on my phone it says that the password is incorrect. Ive made sure that software levels are up to date etc.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

I recently changed my email address at the online iTunes website. Now I can't update my apps because the log-in shows the old email address, but won't accept the old password.

All of a sudden my iphone 4 won't accept my wifi password does anyone know how I can fix this?

suddenly my iphone won't accept my wifi password. I know the wifi is working because i can use my computer and up until today it worked on my phone too...what gives???? helpful suggestions please.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
