IPad 3 Wifi "incorrect password," no connectivity

I bought two new iPad 3s. Both worked fine yesterday. Suddenly, one of them won't connect to wifi and says incorrect password (DEFINITELY correct). I also notice that suddenly I cannot connect to Safari or anything else with the use of my AT&T wireless account. Settings/Cellular Data/View Account, and it just spins the wheel, no connection. I tried Reset Network Settings. I restarted the ipad. I restarted the router. Has anybody figured this out?

Ipad wifi incorrect password issue

Hi:
I just bought a Ipad 3G 64Gb. In my home it can connect to my WPA wireless network fine. At job there is a WEP WiFi network wich I cant connect!!.
I'm sure the password is fine but always I get "Incorrect password" error. I tried with my laptop and Iphone 3G (IOS 4.1) with no problem, but with the brand new Ipad there is a issue...
I tried by looking information about this and it seems is a IOS bug...
Is there a fix, workaround or something?
Thanks in advance

Regarding PW length:
The length of a WEP key depends on the type of WEP security (called "encryption") utilized:
40- / 64-bit WEP: 10 digit key
104- / 128-bit WEP: 26 digit key
256-bit WEP: 58 digit key
Also: A WEP key is a sequence of hexadecimal digits. These digits include the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.

Ipod wont link to wifi - incorrect password message

ipod touch - Incorrect Password message occurs when I try to attach to my wifi.
1) I have turned on and off again
2) I have reset network settings
3) I have reset ipod
4)I have checked my password - it is 100% correct
5) My router (talk talk ) works with other devices in my house and even on another ipod touch
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Lumia 620 WiFi 'incorrect password'

New Phone. New Netgear Router (2 metres from the phone, in the same room.
2 year old W7 PC. PC works with WiFi
Phone can see the network, but tells me 'password incorrect' (This password works with the PC)
I have tried ... slowing the data rate on the router ... switching the WiFI to 'unsecured' ... carefully entering the password so there are no keying errors or timeouts ... switching off the PC's WiFi (it's the only other wireless client) ... MAC filtering is disabled ... ensuring the router's WiFi channel is 'auto'
My Android phone connected first time no probs (still does)
I have spent half a day reading the archives here and (check my user name)
What next please?

Before you stated, you are not able to connect to your Apple Mac OS X computer. Well, I am not able to connect my Nokia Lumia 620 to my Mac OS X, because it is an ad-hoc network. Which network are you talking about?

Because Windows Phone is totally different, you cannot make the assumption this is your cause.
Unfortunately, you have to debug your issue with the administrator of your Wi-Fi. He has to log the traffic and debug on which protocol layer the failure happens. WPA-Enterprise is a very complex thing and we cannot help you virtually. Most use WPA-PSK. With WPA-PSK doing several checks on your own, is quite ‘easy’. In the extreme (rare) case, you have to replace the access point.
However, with WPA-Enterprise the problem could be the RADIUS server, the certificate, the access-point, or even your credentials must be provided in a special way. This needs an expert at your premises.

IPad mini wifi problem - "Unable to Connect"

I have an iPad mini and the WiFi disconnects as soon i go little far from wifi router, it always says "Unable to Connect", As soon i come near by it connects, that too it should a distance of 1 meter or max 2, if you move from that distance it disconnects, occuring same in office and at home. I have reset all setting and network setting too.

Reboot your router by unplugging it for a couple of minutes, then try to reconnect when it comes back up.

You need to see this (wifi incorrect password)

Ok I do not care if this is my fault or apple's fault, but I need help asap. I just ordered an unlock iphone 4 and started using it but once I tried using the Wifi (home), it says that I am putting in the wrong password. My laptop and my old 3g works fine with it, so what is going on?? I'm not a tech person please bear with me and please explain step by step in how am I to fix this problem.

Did you try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset and try again to connect?

HT5569 I am having trouble connecting to my wifi. I put in the password (the correct password) and it tells me that it is the wrong password. I just purchased this iPad and cannot seem to get connected. My laptop connects with a pin not a password.

I just bought a iPad and am trying to set it up. I have WiFi at my home but cannot get on with my iPad. My laptop asks for a pin number to join and the iPad asks for a password. I enter the correct password and it tells me that it is incorrect. I have talked to my WiFi carrier and they tell me that they do not know what it could be. Can someone please help me figure this out.

connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
here are some ideas
go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again

Unable to connect to wifi.. "incorrect password"

So I'm sitting here at the car dealer getting some service done and they have a sign indicating free wifi Internet service.
Nice. So I try to log on with the iPad...15 times. I think maybe I'm typing the password in wrong or they changed it so I try on the iPhone. Works the first time. I am still unable to connect...it says incorrect password.
Is this the wifi problem wveryones been talking about or am I missing something? Any suggestions?
Thanks
(typing this on the iPhone which right now looks downright TINY!!!

Here's my issue... Incorrect password.onlyfix I found is a network reset...
So here's my issue... I have both a 32GB wifi, and a 64GB 3G Ipad. They both behave the same when it comes to network connections..
Here's what I have @ home... Dlink 685 router. Set up as WPA2 .. 2.4hz also set up for g&n mixed...
So here's a typical day... I use my Ipad at Starbucks..No problem with the att network. I then go to my office get onto the DIR-655 Dlink router.. WPA2 same specs as my home for settings... No issues there.... Of coarse there is the signal getting weaker but it always seems to come back. Then I get home..... I am prompted to Re-enter the password to the network and it spins for a minute then re-prompts me for the password...
Then I do a " Settings - General - Network reset" and when it reboots I enter the home network password and it connects and I am operational again...
This is a daily thing with both Ipads so I know it is a software issue. It's just a pain in the butt to re-enter all the passwords everyday, everywhere I go...
Any suggestions for a different way around the issue without a hard reset?
Also I have tried WAP, and WEP and experienced the same thing.. I have also tried N only and switched the channel from 1 to 11 all with the same results. I have also used a Linksys WRT150N and experienced the same issue with a forced network reset...
Help if you can.. Also will a daily network reset damage anything or corrupt the OS?

Iphone won't connect to wifi due to incorrect password,even though it is correct! Help?

So my Iphone 4s has been having problems with the no service error now and again so I decided to reset the network settings to try and fix it. Now since this reset,my iphone refuses to connect to wifi even though the password I'm entering is 100% correct! I keep getting the 'Incorrect password error'.
I've resetted the router and reset the wifi network, rebooted my phone,performed a hard reset but there is still no fix
I have many other devices connected to my wifi without any problems. 3 computers, an ipad, android tablet and other iphone.
My phone is jailbroken on 6.1.2 so I don't want to have to restore my phone.
My phone will connect to wifi with wifiFoFum but as soon as my phone goes to sleep it disconnects so its rather annoying!
I hope you can help

Well are you absolutely certain you know your password. This is a risky troubleshooting step because it could kind of make the situation worse, you should try to forget the network on your computer and really make sure you can enter your password again on another device.
It might just be a capital letter or something that is tripping you up.
If you are having an actually wifi hardware issue it doesn't pop up with an error about an incorrect password. Theres other errrors for that. Incorrect password errors only pop up because there is an issue with the password

New Ipad, cannot move past wifi page, incorrect password?

I am a first time Ipad user, bought a new Ipad for my wife. I cannot get past the connect to wi-fi page. When I click on the recognized wifi link and enter my pass word I get a message saying 'incorrect password' I have checked and rechecked my password for the router and it is correct. Do I have a bad Ipad or????

The password is usually printed on the router's label.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Ipad 2 wifi password incorrect

hi my ipad 2 sees wifi ok but will not connect as it says the password is incorrect even though it is 100% correct?

After updating to iOS 8.1.1 on my iPhone 6, my wifi stop working completely meaning it was not able to join any network.
This is a solution that worked for me:
In the case of not being able to connect to a Wi-Fi network at all and getting "Incorrect Password" or "Unable to connect", try the following:
Change your router's WiFi mode to wireless " g " ONLY.

I am unable to connect to my WIFI.It keeps asking for a password and when i enter the password it says that is unable to connect or i have entered an incorrect password

I am not able to connect to my Wifi. It keeps asking for a password and when i enter the password it either says Unable To Connect or Incorrect Password.
This occurred only after installing a new Wifi router from Qtel (service provider). any assisyance is greatly appreciated.

You should call Qtel technical support and ask for help.
Where did you get the password that you are trying? What does it look like? (Length, type of characters)
Do you know what type of security is being used? WEP, WPA, WPA2
