My inbox keeps asking for a password, but when I put it in it doesn't work. How to fix?

'kay, I don't know what's wrong, but I have a couple of theories: 1) I sent a whole whack of pictures to my email account "[email protected]" (I'm using a different email to contact you since I can't get through on my main email). The account I signed up with is "[email protected]". Both accounts have exactly the same settings, but tvqueen13 works and monarque doesn't. Maybe I clogged up the monarque email account? If so, how can I fix it? 2) I have both Emsisoft Anti-Malware and AVG Security 2014 (bought, not free), but somehow got a rash of infections of Trojan Horses (ie. TrojanHorseInject2.BJPG & BJPP, TrojanHorseMSIL6.UOM & MSIL4.ALBK). I have been working with Emsisoft to clean my computer, but no matter what tools I use, AVG still says I have an infection (or more) in my temp files. I had to uninstall AVG to run something and have not reinstalled it yet. Emsisoft says I'm all good, but I don't think so. I keep getting adware hijacking my websites too. I'm at the point where I think I'll have to swap out my C drive. So ... can you help me get my [email protected] email to work again? Thanks, Kelsey Monarque

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

Why does firefox beta download ask for adminstrator password but when I put it in, its says wrong password or user name?

whenever I try to download firefox beta on my laptop it asks for an adminstrator password but when i put it in it says wrong user " name or password" so I try to by pass that by trying to download as user but then nothing happens the dialog box disappears and I have to start the download all over again. I'm trying to sync firefox with my android phone but I can't get the desktop/laptop version going.

Since installing Windows 7 there have been some weird goings on with my laptop.
I kept muddling around with this and ran a few diagnostics only to find that everything was fine. There was an incompatibility problem with Windows 7 and Firefox (safe mode) which I cared for by simply agreeing with everything Windows 7 wanted to do. It made an adjustment and apparently between the two programs they worked it out.
I tried downloading Firefox 4 beta one more time...using a fresh download in my Firefox browser and from the Firefox webpage. Oddly, this time the program downloaded saved itself to my laptop. I was able to open and install it without incident.
Now, I am all sync'd up!
Thank you very much for your assistance

It keeps asking for a password and when i put it in it tells me im wrong.

Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,
Mario

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

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now it is fine, but my macbook airport no longer detects it and keeps asking for a WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. I'm getting rather fed up.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now the network is fine, I can connect through the ethernet cable, but my macbook airport no longer detects it, when prompted, macbook will find it, but I get asked for the WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. Prior to the network problem my macbook worked fine everytime. Anyone know the answer?

Me and my daughter shared her Apple id but when we updatedto ios7 it merged our messages and contacts so i made a new one for my iphone however now it wont let her use her icloud it keeps saying wrong password and when she tries to reset it it says wrong birth date! it wont even send a reset message to her email address! Please Help!!!

Your story is all well and good, but your husband FIRST threatened to call the police and report a theft the store was perpetrating, which they were not. Yes, the package was addressed to the customer, but that customer was YOU and YOU were not there.
YOU should simply go down to the store, retrieve YOUR package and thank the store for helping to prevent identity theft.
The store said YOU could come down and pick up the package. Did they tell you SOMEONE ELSE could do so???
It seems the easiest way to have resolved the issue would have been for YOU to go pick up YOUR package.

It keeps asking for my password but won't accept the usual password.

When I try to access my account I get the following error message: "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted." However, when I look up the account information the username and password I see are the same ones I have been using. How can I clear this up? I tried setting up a new account but it didn't work. Thanks!

If you changed your password in gmail webmail account, then you will need to remove and re-enter the saved password in Thunderbird.
re: Error message 'Username and password not accepted'
I have known a similar issue occur after an update.
I've also experienced a server request to loggon to webmail account cuase this, in which case logon to webmail and everything works ok afterwards.
That error message could mean the username and password are incorrect or it may not be correct for the chosen settings - meaning the settings are wrong.
Note: Username = full email address.
So try this:
if the password was remembered, remove it.
'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Security' > 'Passwords' tab
click on 'Saved passwords'
click on 'show passwords'
If Thunderbird password manager was instructed to remember passwords, they will show up in the list. There will be be two, one called mailbox and the other smtp. highlight both and click on 'Remove' then click on 'Close' then click on OK to save changes to Options.
Close Thunderbird and wait a few moments for background processes to finalise.
Restart Thunderbird.
On startup it should prompt for a password.
enter the password,
make sure you select the checkbox for Password Manager to remember the password
click on OK.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

I was told to restore my i phone as my battery wasnt working well. I made sure i backed up my iphone and transferred my purchases before restoring it. When i try to restore it to my back up settings it keeps asking for a password which i dont know?

My battery was not working properly (kept running out over a few hours.) I was advised at the apple store to restore my iphone which i did. When i try to restore it to my back up it keeps asking for a password but i have no idea what this password is? could anyone help?

If your backup is encrypted, you cannot restore without the password.
You can continue to backup but you cannot restore without password.
There's no way to retrieve the password.
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.

Try deleting the yahoo email account, and then recreate the account so you are sure all the information is now correct. I have had email information get corrupted for unknown reasons and found just removing and recreating the account to resolve the issues most of the time.
Check the ports, incoming and outgoing, on your iDevices to be sure the same are used on the iMac.

I changed my email address for my Apple ID but my phone doesn't recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email

I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

Hello TirEoghain,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

Take care,

Hello steveod2
The main thing to do is to sign out all services on your iPhone, like iCloud, iTunes & App Store, iMessage and FaceTIme. Check out the article below for more information.
