My wifi won't accept my password.

I have lost my wifi for some reason. I can't connect using my password. I checked that I had the right password by turning the wifi off my Kindle and used the password and it was fine. It just won't recognize my password (and I went into Keychain to check if I had the right password even though I had checked it on Kindle.) I can't get it to take my password on my iPhone 4S (IOS 5.0.1). My Airport Utility on the phone can't find my Airport Express, but as we can see, it is working for the computer....or you would not have gotten this. And I downloaded two books on my wifi-only Kindle. Only the phone won't work. Please hurry. I have a whole raft of updates that need wifi to download.
Thanks so much.

When I first connected my iPad2 I had a number of problems, the third being that it would not accept our network password (for the Homegroup, which our computer is able to display so I knew it was definitely the right password).
I tried the suggestion to reset the network (Homegroup) password, but that did not work.
In the end I had to not only reset the Homegroup password, but I also had to reset the Wireless Router password.
WARNING: BEFORE you do this, make sure that all computers, iPads and iPhones that utilise the wi-fi are on (not asleep) and as soon as you make the change, reconnect using the new passwords on all devices that you own. Pain in the bum, but it worked in the end.

My email on Mac 10.7.4 won't accept my password.

how can I send email messages if Mac 10.7.4 won't accept my password. It never asked until recently. Messages are delivered and are readable, but I can't send messages. I installed iCloud but I think that was after the email began misbehaving. Thank you for your help.

I checked the pondini fixes and ended up doing the following - in case this could help someone else with an iMac, OSX Lion, and Time Capsule... http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
First, I downloaded and used Airport Utility 5.6 instead of 6.1 - BTW, I had to attempt download and installation THREE times before the program actually installed. Be persistant.
Pondini #5: It's possible some names (of all things!) may be a problem. See item C9. I had to re-name my Mac, Time Capsule, network, etc... to remove all apostrophes and spaces.
Pondini #7: If you have WD SmartWare installed on Lion, it's not compatible, per RoaringApps, and there are reports it can cause this problem as well. Use Western Digital's uninstaller, or delete the app from /Applications and the files com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist and com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist from /Library/LaunchDaemons. There may also be a file in Library/Application Support.
I then had to shut down computer, unplug Time Capsule, unplug modem; plug everything in again, then reboot computer; then had to go to Apple- System Preferences- Network- and reselect my Time Capsule to connect to WiFi again.
Then opened Time Machine preferences again and attempted back up - it worked!

When I try to access the Apple store to install a game on my Iphone3g, another person's email address comes up on the page that asks for my password. Has someone hacked my account? It won't accept my password because it's someone else's ID!!!

When I attempt to install a game on my I phone 3g, another person's ID (email address) is on the little box where it asks for my password. It won't accept my password because it's not my ID. How can I get this person's ID off my phone? Have I been hacked or something??

Just sign put of that account and into yours.
This is covered in the manual:
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)

HT201303 I tried to change my email address on the apple ID but now when I try to buy an app or film it still comes up with my old email address and won't accept my password to buy anything. My old email address is no longer in use and can not be access

I tried to change my email address ID , but now when I try to buy an app or music it still shows my old email address and won't accept my password which I did not change. What can I do as I can't download anything ?

What id shows in Settings > iTunes & App Store ? If it's the old one then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with the updated version

I'm trying to sync my firefox and it won't accept my password.

Firefox Sync won't accept my password and when I tried to reset it I keep getting hung up on the "An unexpected error occurred. If this continues, please contact support." response after filling out the "Reset Password" fields. I wan't to sync Firefox for this pc. How can I get around this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Today: Wednesday 28 July 2010

I solved the problem. Apparently, when I tried to sign up in sync the first time, it didn't go through. All I had to do is re-apply. I used the same username and everything (that's how I know it didn't go throught the first time). My Firefox is now synced and there are no further problems.
P.S.
If only I could sync my Firefox bookmarks, calender and notes with Opera, Safari and Chrome. That'd be great. I like using different browsers for different purposes. When I need the browser to disappear so all I see is what's in the window, Opera works best. Firefox can't disable the tool-bar "Auto-hide" feature in full screen mode. And Safari doesn't have a Hot-key for full-screen. At least not that I've seen.

IMac running 10.5.8, me email won't accept my password. One day it worked normally, next day it won't and I did not change password. Now I cannot reset the password, almost as if it was changed by someone else. I am the only user of this iMac.

My email won't accept my password, was working fine, then one day it wasn't. It is almost as if someone else changed the password and now I cannot use my password or change it to a new one. My iMac is running 10.5.8 , using Earthlink and Safari. Any ideas on this problem?

Are you using the Mail client or Safari to access your email?

Setup won't accept my password. Help?

I am trying to install Elements 13 on my Mac. I get a box that says setup want to make changes. type your password to allow. It won't accept my password although this password works for everything else with Adobe.

That's the security software that you have got on your computer. I was asking about the type of thing encryption used on your network, common types are WEP, WPA etc,.

Changed Apple ID now mobile phone won't accept the password

I changed my Apple ID using my laptop. I have synched my phone since then, but somehow my phone now won't accept my password. I'm trying to download an app and it brings up the old apple ID and then says my password was entered incorrectly. My password is not incorrect and I am able to get into my apple account via my laptop. What can I do?

On your Phone sign Out of your Account... close All open Apps.. and Perform a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
Now try it...

Asking for password for keychain access, but won't accept my password... What's up with this?

Restarted my MacBook just now and it's got a continuous stream of pop ups asking for password for keychain access, won't accept my password, won't go away (cancel), any suggestions.

Hello Al323,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Keychain Access on your Mac. I found a couple of articles I suggest for the issue you described.
Your keychain uses your the same password as your login password. If it is not accepting that password, I recommend running the Keychain First Aid using the steps in this article:
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296
If you are still repeatedly seeing a prompt to enter your Keychain Access password, you may need to reset your keychain. This will create a new keychain so any saved passwords on the old keychain will not be available, and you will need to enter them when accessing sites for the first time again. Follow the steps in the article below to create a new keychain:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Mavericks won't accept my password and I can't authenticate any actions

Following my recent mishap (https://discussions.apple.com/message/25466460#25466460), I successfully reinstalled Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Here's the new problem. It won't recognize me as the administrator. I'm the only account in my laptop, and when I try to authenticate any changes in the system preferences, I type my admin account and password, but it won't accept it! The password hint even shows up, but it still won't accept my password!
What really bothers me is that whenever the window opens, the Name: part is empty. Before, my account name is automatically there, and all I need to do is to enter the password! I am super super worried right now, because I don't want to reinstall Mavericks again.
Thanks!
P.S. On a side note, I was not able to oversee the completion of the reinstallation. I was out during the last few hours it was being reinstalled.

more details about my problem:
following the reinstallation, I just wanted to check if the system file I had messed around with (the one mentioned in http://idevicedailys.com/os-x/howto-use-candybar-os-x-mavericks/) was still okay. But this shows up:
I tried using other sudo nano commands like sudo nano /etc/hosts but the same result happens. Please, I am super super desperate!

The lock button is the one on the very top of the device, and the home button is the one on the bottom front. They are the only two buttons on the device.

In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to FOlder and type in ~/Library/keychains
Click the login.keychain once to Highlight and then from the Finder's File Menu do a Get Info (CMD and I Keys together)
In the Info Panel go to the Bottom and see if you Own the File
(Open the Padlock and then the cogwheel icon and your shortname should be there greyed Out about making you the Owner).
In the list above that you should be listed with Read and Write permissions.
If you don't have Read and Write permissions you will not store any new password.

Trying to update Flash... Won't accept my password.

What is with this thing? I'm downloading away when in Step 3 it all crashes to a halt when it won't accept my password. How do I get past this ? All I want to do is update Flash!

Adobe software does not involve passwords. It might be your computer requiring you to allow the processing to occur rather than something the update itself is doing.
