Password Incorrect for gmail - but it is correct

Recently, I had to remove my gmail account from my iPad (ios7).
When I tried to add it back, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail - the user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.
But the password is correct - I used the same one on my Windows laptop and Android phone - even during the period since the iPad is telling me its incorrect.
Please help.

I had this problem but no two-factor authenification was set for my account. This posting at http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/971486 had the following instructions:
1. Quit all mail clients that are accessing the affected Gmail account. This means the Mail app on the iPhone and any other place you are accessing your Gmail from such as a computer.
2. Open Safari on the affected iPhone and navigate to this page: http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
3. Enter your full Gmail address, password and type the characters you see in the picture. Touch the unlock button to verify your account.
4. Open the Mail app and your Gmail access should be restored.
I had actually deleted the gmail account in step 1 and then created it again in step 4 and that worked for me.

TS1398 Stuck on Password Incorrect for Exchange, wi fi has changed , cannot get to General Settings

I am stuck on a message Password Incorrect for Exchange (my work email). My Wi Fi password has been reset and it is trying to auto connect. I cannot get to General Settings to change the Wi Fi setting. Also stuck on FB app sitting behind the message. When I dbl clk Home there are no apps listed.

Reboot 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.
After the iPad starts up completely maybe then the apps will appear in the task bar and you can close them or maybe you will be able to back out of the apps after the reboot.
You can also try force quitting the mail app.
Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is 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.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Password works for apps but not software update

Can't update my I pad with the latest software update I keep getting incorrect password but i can update apps with it

Hi, Jerryfromnewhill.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There could be a couple reasons for this issue and I will do my best to help. Check to make sure that Find My iPhone is disabled, once this is done process the update. If the issue persist, this could be related to a restrictions passcode. I have included two troubleshooting articles that explain these features and how to disable them.

Blackberry Password works for phone but not for Desktop Manager

Hi guys,
I´m a first time user of BB and very pleased with the purchase. I recently setup a password to protect my phone. When it locks I simply type the password and it unlocks. To my surprise when I tryed to sync with the Desktop Manager it asks for the password but when I type it on my laptop it doesn´t recognize it and starts the 1/10, 2/10 tryes screen. The only solution was to remove the password from the device.
Where am I going wrong?
Appreciate any help.
Thanx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Please be warned that ten incorrect attempts of the password will wipe your device--be careful.
You probably have a common user problem where you "think" you have an uppercase character or number in the password, and you really don't, becase your password is masked by asterisks when you first entered it, and you have continued to enter the password ON your device as you think it is.
Does that make sense? This is a common mistake.

Admin password not accepted anymore - but it's correct

Hi,
i have a strange problem in Lion 10.7.5:
My admin password is not accepted anymore in Lion. Whenever i'm asked to enter the Admin password, the window closes (therefore: no "wrong password" message or something else) but the process isn't continuing (for example an installation). There is no change or progression.
The password is definitely correct, i was also able to change it or use it in the terminal (where it is accepted). But i'm still not able to use it within Lion.
Tried also to boot in single-user mode and change the password there via "passwd username" but i'm getting a "The daemon encountered an error processing request" error message.
Read somewhere else, that i should repair permissions and/or keychain first aid. Tried both but the problem still exists.
Does anyone have another idea? I really don't want to restore my system... Actually, how can i do this without an installer disc? Purchased my imac with lion pre-installed - i guess i would have to reinstall all my applications?
Thanks for your help!

Help Me..iTunes has allowed password set for volume, but password wont work

I just received my iPod Shuffle yesterday. iTunes 7, allowed me to set a password for my iPod Shuffle (for volume control), but the password wont work, yikes.... It's the same password I always use. The volume is so low, I can barely hear it. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but my iPod still remembered its password, I tried the Restore under settings in iTunes... no luck.
The error message I get when I try to restore is (same as when I try to access the iTunes Store, which I cannot access either):
ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connections active, then try again.
I have cable access to the internet, and that's just fine. I've tried to use the command line to run ipconfig / (I forgot what it said to type after the slash), but I did this twice and it was successful.
I checked my firewall for exceptions, and iTunes is one, so that should be alright. Maybe it's the McAfee Security Center
I would really appreciate any help that you might have to offer.
Thanks!
Sky

Here was the problem:
I found out that I had two firewalls up! I would think that wouldn't be possible. Both Windows and Symantec firewalls. Once my friend took down the Windows one, she was able to restore the ipod shuffle to factory settings and go to the ITunes Store. I'm too chicken to apply a password on it again.
Before my friend helped me, I called the 1-800 help line (in India, 9 hours ahead of us, and I think it was after mid-night-but I could not tell I woke her up, I felt bad) and she had me try a few things and I forgot to get her help on putting everything back. But I did sort of write down the changes and was able to retrace and return it to what the PC was.
I just wanted to share this in case anyone else does this.

Iphone keeps saying password incorrect for itunes

but it's the correct password since I can log into the itunes store from itunes

I used to have a 2nd Generation 32GB iPod Touch which I ditched Friday when I finally got an iPhone. I purchased a Black 32GB iPhone 3G S and activated it in store. I attempted to log into iTunes on it and was met with a message saying my password was incorrect. I logged in on my computer when I got home and the password worked fine. I think my issue is due to a very old iTunes account (5 years old). It was created from an AIM Screen Name which was an option at the time. It does not have an email address in the username and in iTunes I must select that my screen name is an AOL account. I don't have this option on my iPhone. Could this be my issue and if so, how do I fix it?

I want to put my wifi password in for internet but mac automatically connects, how can i stop this?

So I connect to my wifi automatically, but recently I simply want it to ask for a wifi password instead of automatically connecting because other people use this MacBook also...

Doesn't each user have a login with a different password.. the login on the Macbook itself is much more important than the wireless login.
You should be able to set the Airport or wifi to not remember the password.
Untick remember the network.. clean them all out of the airport settings and start over..
