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.

When trying to send a photo from iPhotos, I accidentally entered the wrong password. It tells me that it doesn't recognize my password, but doesn't enable me to re-submit the correct one. What should I do?

I'm trying to send a photo from iphoto - but apparently I entered the wrong password, and now it does not give me the opportunity to resubmit my correct password - it only tells me that mine was wrong and will allow me to cancel but not correct. I tried to cancel and start over but it still doe not let me re-enter my password. Is there some "command" that will help me?

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.

Having trouble important my Google contacts via Microsoft Exchange. The Exchange pop up says that I have entered the wrong password.

Having trouble important my Google contacts via Microsoft Exchange. An Exchange pop up says that I have entered the wrong password. Help?

I found a fix!! Refer to this article regarding using Microsoft Exchange for Google accounts: http://www.zdnet.com/with-new-gmail-and-google-maps-ios-apps-the-iphone-5-is-cle arly-the-best-smartphone-available-7000008756/
In a nutshell, the Google/Microsoft Exchange combo will no longer work on apple devices. You will need to delete your Exchange account altogether. I know, scary! After you delete it, add your Gmail account like you would add any other regular email account on your device [Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail > add your info]. That takes care of your email and calendar.
Now to get your google contacts back! Refer to these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4872?viewlocale=en_US
I promise, these steps worked for me (even though I was wincing while I deleted my Exchange account). Now I have my Gmail, Google contacts, and Google calendars (even the shared calendars!) on both my iPhone and iPad :D

Cisco ISE Failure: 24408 User authentication against Active Directory failed since user has entered the wrong password

Hi,
Since we implemented Cisco ISE we receive the following failure on several Notebooks:
Authentication failed : 24408 User authentication against Active Directory failed since user has entered the wrong password
This happens 2 or 3 times per Day. So basically the authentications are working. But when the failure appears, the connection is lost for a short time.
The Clients are using PEAP(EAP-MSCHAPv2) for Authentication. We've got a Cisco Wireless Environment (WLC 5508).
Why is this happening?
Thanks,
Marc

The possible causes of this error message are:
1.] If the end user entered an incorrect username.
2.] The shared sceret between WLC and ISE is mismatched. With this we'll see continous failed authentication.
3.] As long as a PSN not receiving a response from the supplicant within this limit during an EAP conversation, it will throw this error code. In majority of cases it says eap session timed out.
In your cases, the 3rd option seems to be the most closest one.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try the following steps:
Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

I have recently switched to icloud. Lately I have not been able to receive emails. A msg comes up asking me toat reenter password. Perhaps I am entering the wrong password and have forgotten what it is. How can I find my old password or change it?

If it was setup using your iPhone and your Apple ID then as far as the iCloud team will be able to find out, you set it up. Passwords cannot be retrieved.
Change all passwords on accounts associated with your iPhone.

TS3274 My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. How can I correct this.

My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, and it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. When I enter my personal password that I created, it say it the wrong password, then it say try again in 5 minutes and shuts itself down. Is anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it?

Hello SharonLo
Your best bet would be to restore your iPad if it is not accepting your passcode. Check out the article below to walk you putting your iPad into recovery mode and using iTunes to restore it.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

HT1947 iTunes keeps on saying I'm entering the wrong passcode for Remote, which I'm certain I'm not

iTunes keeps on saying I'm entering the wrong passcode for Remote, which I'm certain I'm not. What can I do?

Enter the correct passcode.
If running a current version of iTunes and using the same Apple ID on the remote app and in iTunes, there is no need or prompt for a passcode.

If I have a saved password, and then I enter the wrong password on a website login, does Firefox keep the old password stored, or does it overwrite it?

I am trying to find a password that I changed yesteday. I forgot what it was, and today I entered the incorrect password, and now I can't get logged in. When I look at the password manager, it is showing what I believe is the incorrect password. Is there a way to get it to show what the password was? It is showing that I changed the password yesterday.

Hi, jydsker!
Let me see if I can help.
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click "Preferences" (the gear icon).
* Select the "Security", and click the "Saved Passwords" box.
* If you select the "Show Passwords" box in the lower right corner, it will show you the saved password.
If it is the incorrect password, select the entry and select "Remove".
Let us know if that helps.

I have OSX 10.5.7 on my Intel Mac. When I try to login using the correct password the screen goes white and just returns back to the login screen. It does not jiggle like when you enter the wrong password.

I have had a number of issues with my Intel Mac recently and had to reboot using disk utilities, safe mode, OSX recovery, but always come back to the login screen but when I type my password the screen goes white and returns to the login screen. My password is correct and the login does not jiggle as it would if the password was wrong. Please advise,

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding,you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP.
The procedure below may spare you the need for a clean reinstallation of OS X. If you don't feel comfortable carrying it out, don't. try.
Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
/var/audit/current
If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
Boot in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
mount -uw /
You must type the command exactly as given, with no mistakes. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP. At this stage, no harm will be done if you make a mistake, but later, it will be. Press the return key.
Next, type the following command:
rm -i /var/audit/current
Press return. You should get the following output:
remove /var/audit/current?
If that's not what you get, STOP. Type the single letter N, press return, and try again. Otherwise, type the single letter Y and pressreturn.
Finally, enter the command:
exit
Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will reboot. Try again to log in.

How many times can I enter the wrong password restriction?

I set restrictions on my iphone to disable some apps and save battery. Unfortunately i set it a year ago and I've used it forgotten the password and now I cannot remember it.
I tried to type the password but i did twice failed passcode, i wonder how many time i can enter the failed passcodes before my iphone will be locked forever.
Please help me
THANK YOU!

If you've forgotten the password, the number of times that the device will accept an invalid password is irrelevant.
Do as the manual says, restore the device using the computer it normally syncs with and restore as new. Restoring from backup will not remove the restrictions passcode.

Mail tells me I've either entered the wrong password or username which isn't right!
