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

  • Iphone 5 won't connect to any service requiring a password even though I enter the correct ones.

    Any ideas?

    It did, I took it off but that still doesn't help. I try signing into Yahoo, DirectTV and it seems like the password is not being sent; I just get the sign-in page again with the password blank. Thanks.

  • Iphone won't connect to wifi

    My iphone won't connect to my home wifi. It say's connected but when i try and go online it say's unable to connect. I've tried forgetting the network, turning wifi off and on. The ip address is ok and my laptop connects ok.
    Has anyone got any ideas about how i can fix it?

    I am having the same issues as GirlyGirl.  Every other day or so my iPhone 3GS won't connect to wifi.  Before I was showing the wifi signal as if it were attached but I couldn't surf Safari.  Now even though under the wifi settings it shows I'm connected, I don't get the wifi fan showing I'm connected.  I've done the following:
    Renewed lease
    Forgotten network
    Reset Network Settings
    Reboot my iPhone
    Two days ago when I rebooted the router and Reset Network Settings it started working correctly.
    I've been working with my internet provider, they tell me my firmware on my 2wire is up to date & the issue is definitely with my iPhone.
    Security Settings:  WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES)
    My iPhone is attaching to the 169.x IP Address and the Subnet is 255.255.0.0. The router, DNS and Search Domains are blank.
    Also to note, I changed the name of my device through the gateway router so I could identify it more easily.  As of today it had defaulted back to the old name which is the ip address. Even if I don't change anything it isn't keeping those settings.
    Other than restarting my router and taking everything down for 15 minutes each time, what else can I try? 

  • Iphone won't connect to wifi network

    iPhone won't connect to a wifi network - just get a message saying it won't connect to the network (it doesn't give me a message that I've got the password wrong). Other devices do join the network OK
    What should I do to try t resolve it?

    Hi,
    I bought my iPhone 4s yesterday and I'm having the same problem, my laptop, my old HTC Legend and my work macbook all connect to my wifi no problems.  My iPhone won't.
    I've read through everything I can find on here, and on Sky help and have tried:
    Resetting router
    Resetting network settings on iphone
    Using MAC address access control on the router
    Changing channels on the router
    Switching everything off and on
    Someone suggested doing 'forget network' on the iphone, but I can't find this option
    Turning off 3G and mobile data and trying to connect
    Checking password is correct (it is)
    Kind of at a loss now as to what I can do, I've emailed Sky and waiting for their advice, but should I take it back to the shop to exchange it?  Everything else I have connects just fine, no problem.
    It just says "unable to join network"
    Anyone help?
    Thanks

  • 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 at all!! Please help.

    I have an iPhone 4 and I don't use it as a phone any more but I do use it for downloading songs and stuff of wifi, kinda like an iPod touch but I dropped it in water(not the first time I have done this) and as usual it will come back alive after drying but this time the wifi says no wifi and it is colored light gray.everything els is normal about the phone except I can't get Internet via wifi. Can someone tell me if there is another way to access the Internet with this device or how to fix the wifi? Oh and one more thing, when I go to general and press about I see that the wifi address says N/A so I don't know if I can just get a new address or what.

  • I cannot connect on WiFi using my Airport Express even though the light is green

    Why can't I connect via WiFi even though my Airport Express shows a green light?

    Hi Jose,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you can't connect to your wireless network, trying these steps first can help to isolate the issue:
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router...

  • Ipad and iPhone won't connect to wifi

    I just purchased (today) an ipad 3 and iphone 4S.  Neither will connect to my apple time capsule, but my mac and ipad 2 connect fine.  I've tried turning both new devices off and unplugging and restarting the time capsule, but no luck.  have tired "forgetting" the network on both devices and then re-entering the password, no luck.  Help!!!

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

  • HT1414 I cant update apps due to incorrect password even after resettimg it

    I just called tech support and apparently apple is having problems with it.

    Also, after you reset your password on your account, you should reset your device (hold down top and front buttons til you see the Apple symbol), that empties your cache.
    Good luck!!

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen will not connect to my wifi giving me incorrect password

    Friday when i went to school when i came back and i turned wifi on it asked for my password and it told me incorrect password even though i am 100% sure it is correct. I went to my dads house over the weekend and used wifi there, and when i came back it would keep telling me that i had the incorrect password. My brother also has a 2nd gen itouch with ios 4.1 and same as me and his will connect just fine. I have tried several things and none seem to work. I have not tried updating my ipod or restoring it for several reasons. Does anyone have a fix?

    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

    - Restore from backup. See:

    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Wifi on Ipad and Iphone won't connect

    I have an iphone 4s and an ipad mini, both updated to iOS 7 and they both will not connect to wifi. They will connect when I am at home or at Starbucks etc., but not while I am at school. My phone did connect at school last year, but has not been able to connect this year. They will both say that I am connected, but when I go to use the internet it says I am not, even though it shows I am. The tech guys at my school have not been able to figure it out. Any ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. 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.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. 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-netwhttp://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.
