My MSN Mail password is being rejected even though I am using the correct password.
I keep entering the CORRECT password for my MSN account which I have tied to the Mail program and it keeps rejecting. i even verified that it was working properly by going into my MSN account through Safari, signing in and retrieving (without a glitch) my e-mail...???
Take the steps suggested in this article.

I cannot connect to the network even thought I am typing in the password on my belkin router
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-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

I've tried everything... Turning it off and on, rebooting, opening the document on iCloud... It continues to tell me the document "can't be opened". Help!! This is a really important document
I'm not sure if this will help, but I had the same problem. My password was correct.... I was going crazy. One time I typed the password and automatically touched the space bar after the word before I hit " Done" and it worked. I'm not sure why a space is part of my password but that must have been how I set it like typing a sentence it's just automatic. Good luck!

Cannot download any Apps even though I put in the correct password
I cannot download any Apps from my I-Pad or I-Phone,even though my Pasword is correct.I hit upload,then password is required,then the screen goes back to upload.
I have the same problem since this morning, when my Ipod touch (version 4.2.1) unexpectedly asked me for the network's password. Entering the password does not help, the message "Unable to join..." keeps appearing.
Last evening I was prompted to update, and did, Safary, Quicktime and Itunes, while my Ipod was connected to the PC. I have tried everything suggested above except restoring the Ipod from backup via Itunes.
I noticed the large nr of views to this young thread. Those with the same problem, please join in! ScO -
My itouch will not connect with airport even though I am entering the correct password
I have not had any problems with my Apple airport modem until today. When I went to use my I touch that I have been using for at least one year on the airport would not connect and my password that I have been using all along will not work. Any suggestions?
With some routers, during that first set up it asks you for the password, but what it really wants is the full security code, not the password. I have seen this many times. Go back to the router and get full code. It is usually a
Ong meaningless string. If you cannot find it, reset the router to make it generate a new one. When you trymto join the network on the pad, use that and not the password. See if that helps.
By the way, once you join, it will remember, and you will not need the string again unless you do a full restore or 'forget' the network. -
I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password. I have tried everything. I even changed the password, nothing is working. Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5. I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack. Please help, I need to use this feature soon. Thank you so much
Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect. -
I can't sign in to FaceTime...even though I'm entering the correct information
We can not access FaceTime even though we are entering the correct Apple ID and password. We have logged in to our Apple Account to check and recheck this information and now we have wasted so much time trying to fix this. What is going on?!

Hi, I also get the message "itunes could not restore the iphone because the password was incorrect" though I am never prompted to enter a password anywhere! Nor was the backup password encrypted to begin with! Really strange, any pointers will be greatly appriciated!

I have just changed my iPad mini password a day ago, and when trying to access it today it worked fine until about 4:30 (GMT) when I could not access the device using the correct password. I am absoloutley 100% sure it's correct.Additional details:I was last using Kik messenger before it stopped working.I was sitting less than two foot away from the PS3 my brother was playing.I'm 14 but I'm not some spoilt kid who gets iPhones and iPads from his parents to mess around with, I have got important coursework and homeworks on there.Any help would be great Thanks.
Hello ConfusedLlama
If the password is not working to get into your iPad mini, you would need to follow the steps to restore it. If you have a back up through iCloud or through iTunes, you can restore from that back up and it would not bring back the passcode unless it is encrypted.

Can't unlock my phone using the correct password
I can't unlock my phone and I'm using the correct password. I'm at my final attempt to enter the password or ALL of my personal information will be lost!! I just got off of the phone with customer service and was told basically I'm going to lose all my business contacts & personal notes that I entered this morning during my morning meeting and that it's my fault because I didn't back it up!!! How the heck can I back up my device while during my company meeting?? I'm the owner and I have many notes and etc on my device that I put there this morning!!! Now I lose money because I can't get my information. I'm so ticked off right now!!! Customer service wasn't helpful at all...he just blamed me for my problem!! Never mind the fact that the darn phone keeps turning itself on and off randomly!
i went through that exact experience and what saved me was entering the password, which i knew, on my laptop with the BB connected

Ok. So I just changed my ADMINISTRATIVE ROOT PASSWORD the other day and when I tried to log in today I forgot it. I tried different variations of
the password I had set, because I wasn't sure if i had maybe set it in Caps Lock or used a different number in the sequence. I got the message several times
about "too many attempts, try again later". Does the computer lock me from signing in even with the correct password after a certain amount of failed
attempts? If so, how long does this lock last for? When can I try again? Or is there something I need to do to remove that lock now? I'm pretty sure I
had the right password finally but it still wouldn't accept it.
Also, I don't have any other administrative users set up on my macbook pro. I'm the only one who uses it, so I've always just used that original User from my
original setup.giselafromclongriffin wrote:

Do this:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime. (command + s on newer Macs)
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can change the passord on the old one. -
I'm locked out of my Iphone even though I'm entering the right password
When I tried entering the password for my iPhone the phone became disabled. I've tried several times and the phone is now disabled for 60 minutes. I know that the password i am entering is correct as the settings are set so that the password comes on every time I want to use the phone, and I use the phone a lot, so if the password I am entering is correct why does it say that it's wrong?
Because it's wrong. Use this article: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
Either you're typing it in wrong, or it got changed by someone.
Try '1111', '1234' or '0000'. -
Granted, I have two Apple I.D's that I'm using, however I've been more than diligent when it comes to getting the correct password written down for each of the I.D,'s, and yet the system simply doesn't recognize them. When I log into this program on my desktop there's no issue at all, but on my iPhone 4S it's a different story.
Unable to send a camera roll photo via e-mail, yet it's no problem doing it as a text message. Anyone have some advice as to how I can rectify this?Are you saying you can't sign into your iCloud account?
