Mail Prefs not recognizing my password

After I login to Mail and I select my name at upper right and select Account I am again prompted to enter my Password. When I do that I get a message:
==
Password is incorrect. Forget your password?
==
No - I did not forget my password!!!!!!!! I have entered my password many, many times and still I get this message.
I have no idea what to make of this. Also this morning I was prompted several times to enter my Mail password after I ...
now I just got a popup saying-
==
You entered an invalid MobileMe member name or password. Verify your MobileMe member name and password in MobileMe System Preferences.
==
All of this bs started this morning. I have been in my MM Prefs and everything is just as it's been for years!!
Any suggestions????

Linc,
thanks for the info. In the meantime, I shut down, re-booted my i7, shut down all auto-launch apps (Mail) and ran DU. When done, I again re-booted and entered my name and pw in MM then went to my account in upper right, entered my pw and it worked???????
When I open Mail on my desktop all of my mail folders are grayed out and your email has yet to appear. There is also a ~ next to my inbox and my .Mac Account in MailBoxes.
I wonder if there is a correlation between my creating a new Provisioning Profile in my Apple Dev account and all of this??
Thanks again.

Mail is not recognizing my password

Apple is not recognizing my password. I haven't changed anything. It's been that same for years, now it can't access my email. Any ideas?

Maybe some of these links will help you:

Mail not recognizing new password

All right so I recently had to change the password on one of my Yahoo.com mail accounts because I could not remember the last one. I have this one linked up the mail application on my computer, however it is not recognizing the new password (yes, I'm typing it in correctly, in fact I'm just copy + pasting it). I also checked keychain and it didn't find any problems apparently when I ran first aid.
How do I get my computer to recognize my new password? This is ridiculous.

Unfortunately it is not recognizing the password still. It recognizes the copy + pasted password on yahoo.com, but when I use the copy + pasted password with apple mail (even after deleting it) it doesn't recognize it.
It was giving me a message that it couldn't connect when I put in the password. However I figured it out. What I had to do was copy the password from what I had, put it into the login area for yahoo.com, have firefox remember the password, then copy that password from firefox's preferences and paste that into the apple password part.
Weird thing is though is when I looked at the two (the one I had kept typed and the copied one from the saved yahoo) they were exactly the same, so I don't know why it wasn't recognizing it.
Thank you for replying to my question though!

Mail is suddenly not recognizing my password. it has done this now and then for a few minutes, but this time it's been days. anything I can do?

try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

HT1338 i cloud not recognizing new password.

Apple not recognizing known password. Iforgot does not send email verification. Help please.

Apple not recognizing known password. Iforgot does not send email verification. Help please.
Don't know any other way to put it. I typed in the correct password. Now the account is locked. Iforgot does not send an email verification. The email is not in the junk mail or anywhere else. It is typed correctly. This is frustrating. I was just trying to update the Ipad Mini. I wanted to change the ownership to my husband and noticed that my daughter attached a new Icloud account. I was just trying to verify her account. I have the correct password. Now the account is locked out.

I figured it out. It's a little confusing. I was trying to add a new email address for iCloud and I was supposed to type in the main iCloud user ID and password. The wording is not helpful because it displays the name of the new email address.

Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document. I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password that goes with the hint. Is there anything I can do to access my doc?

Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document. I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password associated with the hint. Is there anything I can do to access my document? i quite the Pages app and restarted it. Now I guess I'll reset the iPad and see if that helps. Thanks!

Interesting that one does not need the password to delete using Finder.
The Pages password protects the contents of the document. If there were a Finder password, it would protect what you might think of as the "file wrapper" ... the stuff around the file content.
Glad it's not vital. I have to say I only pasword protect those Pages documents that are, in fact, vital.
Best of luck.

My mail is not accepting my password for one of my email accounts. How can I fix this?

Mail is not accepting my password for one of my email accounts. I know the passoword is correct.
It will accept my password for one of my email accounts but not the other.
I have reset the password in the account settings but it still will not work.
how can I fix?

From the Mail menu bar, select

Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

Itunes is not recognizing my password

I'm trying to purchase a song and suddeny iTunes is not recognizing my password. I log in to Manage my AppleID and that seems to recognize it just fine; for some reason iTunes is just not accepting it. I'm absolutely typing it in correctly, and it's the same password I've had for ages so it can't be wrong.
I do not think reseting the password is, or should be, my only option: I have too many passwords to keep track of as is.

Sorry is should have probably mentioned this problem is on my computor. I am using itunes 11 and win 8( never had a problem till now ) . My password seams to work fine on the appstore on my phone ( just checked )
When I try to use my password in itunes on my pc it wont let me log in, and get a unknown error message along with have you forgoten your password... which I havent.
Thanks for the sugestions

My appleid is not recognizing my password! I've reset it several times already!

This is very frustrating! I have set up my apple account, etc and everytime I try to sign in with my appleid, it's not recognizing my password! I've already reset my password several times to accommodate the stupid error! Someone please help!!

If your son continues to have admin access, it means that he has unrestricted access to the password after you change it.
Another accessible admin account was mentioned.
He has put his user id in the /etc/sudoers file with root access.
You keep the password in a text file in your account. He has changed the access permissions on that file, so he can read this from his account. Similarly, you keep the password someplace that is no longer secret.
He or a sibling has distracted you with conversation while watching your admin keystrokes.
His own keystroke logger tracking what you type, or freely downloadable password cracking software.
You choose passwords that are simple for you and may be readily guessable family, pet, or household object names, birthdates, etc. Choose something that is off his guess radar. A name of something unique before he was born.
You hope he hasn't shared the admin password with someone outside the home.
Some ideas for you. Discipline isn't taking away the computer, it is temporarily taking away other privileges perceived as more valuable, if the password intrusions do not stop.

while when I stop the listener from Windows Servcies it stops successfully.
Plz note that when I start listener by using lsnrctl80 start it starts successfully.
Following is the information of listener.ora

I did not find the exact solution on the suggested site. only found the Error Code and description.
Then I searched on Google.com and found following result which has successfully solved my problem.
LSNRCTL> change_password

Regardless of how you enter the password, through a single line or on the prompt, the change will not be successful. To change the password, you have to remove the line passwords_listener in the file listener.ora and then change the password.
Thanks

Mail will not remember account password LION

Just migrated to new Macbook Pro. Apple Mail account is set up but it will not remember the password. I have another account set up in Mail which is working fine.
Ruzzer

After much frustration and googling, I ended up finding my own solution.
My situation came when I replaced my MAIL folder with another mail folder from another account.
At first the mail account acted normally, but the next day after starting the mac my mail kept asking for account passwords on ALL of my mail accounts (a mix of IMAP and POP3).
Here are the fixes I tried but didnt work
KeyChain Access = First Aid repair (did nothing and found no errors)
Deleted my Mail plist file (again nothing changed)
Triple checked my email account passwords (no change)
The one thing that I noticed was that most people where told to delete the Mail keychain password entry in keychain. The thing is with my keychain there was NO MAIL KEYCHAIN. I think this is the big problem.
To remedy this I tried the KeyChain Access FIRST AID REPAIR again, but this time I had a look at the Key chain log and found there was over 26,000 entried. I figured they where only log files and just deleted all file. Restarted the mac and turned on mail, it will ask for password but this time it remembers the password!!!
Here is a step by step for you all:
WARNING: this will nuke all your stored keychains, be prepared to re enter any passwords or user names you may have stored.
1. Open Keychain Access (Use spotlight and search "Keychain")
2. Go to Keychain prefs (Command + ,)
3. In the GENERAL tab press the "Rest My Default Keychains" button
4. Enter your password (Press OK)
5. There will be an option to view log files, press this button
6. Select all files and delete them.
7. Restart your mac.
8. Open mail, it will ask for your mail account password
9. enjoy the stress of email again!
I thought someone else my find this useful and save them some headaches.
