Password not accepted for backup

I just attempted to upgrade itunes software with my iphone connected, system crashed, iphone then displayed itunes symbol with USB plug image, I restarted PC and sorted out itunes, then restored the iphone but when I clicked to put the backup onto the phone it wouldn't accept my apple/itunes password, what password does it want and how do I get it, because I don't remember setting any other ones up?
Regards
Edd

It depends on what Password it is asking for. If it is specifically asking for a Backup Encryption Password this would have been a password that was set within iTunes when the option for 'Encrypt Backup' was selected. If this has been forgotten, the downside is that Backup cannot be restored without that password.
If it's a different password though whats the exact wording of the prompt?

Password not accepted for network

Hi,
im having a problem connecting to my home network as it will not accept my password . The ipod keeps displaying 'incorrect password for'..., the encryption is WEP based but i have also tried using WPA. There is nothing wrong with the system as my laptop is always connected to the network
Thanks

ngfjdgbkrngljr,
You can try entering the 13 character ASCII key with "quotes" around the key.
If that does not work you may have to get the HEX key from the router configuration page.
It may be easiest to contact the router manufacturer or Internet Service Provider that gave you the router and ask them howto configure the router with WPA2 Personal wireless security. These links will show why WPA 2 personal is easier to use.

Password not accepted for Windows sharing

I am trying to transfer files from my Windows box to my iMac.
When I try to enable Windows sharing for my account it asks me to "enable file sharing using SMB for <Account>, enter the password for the account." but it never accepts my password for that account. It always says "Incorrect password". The password originally had special characters in it so I changed it to use only upper- and lower-case and numbers but I still had the same problem.

I know this workaround gets you in there, but why can't we edit the old SMB account in the system preferences as we are supposed to do? you can't delete or edit that account. i looked in keychain, & it wasn't in there. where is it looking for that password??? there must be a store somewhere, that retained this info.

WEP password not accepted for joining existing wireless network

My router has WEP security with a 10 digit 64-bit hex value. When I type it into the connection wizard it complains I need 13 digits. I have tried adding a $ and "s but to no avail. What is the trick?

Hello SteveWhite. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AirPort Express (AX) will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.
You may find the following Apple article helpful. Also, have you considered switching to WPA or WPA2, since WEP is no longer considered secure?

Was sucesssful signing up and using firefox on desktop yesterday. Today user name and or password not accepted. Can't get emails-nothing. Asked for help with password and never got email. This was 3 hrs ago and not in spam folder

Password for what? Signing up for what?
Firefox doesn't need a password for a person to be able to use it.
Firefox shouldn't affect your ability to get email - Firefox doesn't do email, but it will allow you to access your web-mail service.

Apple id password not accepted on icloud

why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date. This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date. This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

I actually am illiterate on the use of the finder to to view photos in folders. I guess I will go to a class at the local Apple store for a lesson on the uses of finder .
My method of viewing my photos are through events in I photo.
1. Download from camera or scan in from old photos.
2 I organize photos into events by occasion, or happenings in a certain year, or a group of photos with memorabilia of a certain person from childhood and on. etc.
3. Because Iphoto does not allow rearranging as I was able to do in my old PC with Corell, I drag all of the photos to an " album" on the left side of sceen.
4. I arrange photos in "order" after which I number each photo in sequence. I do this for a few of reasons.
          - if a photo is accidentally deleted I know it. I can usually remedy this by checking my trash or
rescanning.
          - I can sort by title without complications and this holds in "album"
5. The pictures will re arrange automatially to match the album in I photo.
6. This worked great in I-photo 09 but now in mountain lion the pictures in events go back to "
sort by date" and will not hold "sort to Title"each time I photo is closed down. What a nuicance it is to have to go to view and click "title" again and again every time Iphoto is opened.
7. Can I go back to Photo 09? .

Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.
Message was edited by: one11archerave

I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.

User password not accepted after migration

Source: iMac Lion OSX.7.4 Destination iMac OSX6.8
Problem: user password is not accepted after migration
What I did: Tried to migrate over the LAN, but in the migration assistant the other Mac was mutually never recognized. (Did migrations several times successfully in our LAN before). Last time the LIon Mac was the destination, who is now the source.
I backupped then the user with Time machine on the Lion and installed it with the migration assistant on the Snow Leopard system. As as the password was not accepted, I repeated the backup/migration process once. No help
I reset in System Prefs/User accounts the password of that user. But cannot login either
First time, that a migration process fails for me.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Urs

The target computer itself has admin accounts thats not the problem, I can access it. The issue is that the migrated additional user account is not accessible with its password.
I have found here an istruction how to reset a password in single user mode.
http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
But that does not help either.The answer after the dscl -passwd command is that I do not have access (or similar, I don't remember)
My guess is that backward migration (Lion to Snow) causes the problem. May be I need to create the user freshly and to copy his documents manually

Password not accepted - Pls Help!

Please help -- All of the information I need for life is stored in my Blackberry Curve. I cannot access my phone, though, because it is demanding my blackberry password (whch it does not usually do). Although I have given it, and even changed it a few times successfully via the online system from my laptop, my phone WILL NOT accept the password.
I only need access to my phone, not to a blackberry service, per se. Is there any way around this? I only have two attempts left! Any help much appreciated.

Thanks very much for your reply.
I must admit that I understand very little about the BB system. The password it requested was my user created one. I entered it, but it would not accept it. I changed it online, just to be sure there couldn't be any problem with the password. It still wouldn't accept it.
OK...I think you may have the two confused. The on-device user-created device-lock password is only on the device...nowhere else. Hence, it could not be changed online. Therefore, we must deduce that you mean your BBID credentials, and not the device lock password.
houserrovers wrote:
It also stopped producing stars, in response to my entering the password. The password itself would just appear, alternating with requests to type "blackberry" to continue. That part worked fine, but then it would request the password again, and the same lack of stars & lack of acceptance of the password would recur.
This is as expected...for security reasons, the passwords are not displayed clearly...until such time as you fail too many times, and then it displays it as you type, as an aid to help you get it right.
houserrovers wrote:
I finally let it wipe itself, unfortunately. Now it seems happy again, and it accepting the password.
Well that is odd. From your first statements (changing it online), I would deduce the password in question to NOT be your on-device password, but rather your BBID credentials. However, failure of the BBID credentials does not result in a device wipe...only failure of the device-lock password results in a wipe.
So, now I am thinking that you are not sure which is which. The on-device password can only be affected on the device itself, and if too many failures occur, will indeed wipe the device. The BBID credentials are stored "in the cloud", and you can work with your BBID account via other means (e.g., PC/browser).
What I think happened is that it failed to accept your on-device password, and you mistakenly thought you could change that via PC/browser...you cannot. Only directly on the device itself can you do anything regarding the on-device lock password. And, as it continued to reject your attempts at the on-device password, it dutifully allowed only the pre-programmed number of attempts (normally 10...with the password displaying "in the clear" usually after 5 failed attempts), and when those were exhausted, it dutifully wiped itself clean of everything (a security measure, guarding your priceless data against theft of the physical device).
houserrovers wrote:
Any further thoughts on what this was or how to fix it appreciated. I did also try to back it up before it self-destructed, but with the phone attached, the backup system would also not accept the password (even though online it accepted it fine, and changed the password fine).
There is nothing at all to "fix".
When you connect your BB to your PC and if your device has a device-lock password, then that password must be entered on the PC before you can do anything with the device...yet another security measure.
The device has been wiped clean, and is as if it were brand new, never before configured...none of your data, none of your added apps, etc...just like it was fresh out of the box. If you have no backup from which to restore to the device, then there is nothing to do but start over, just like you did when you first obtained the device.
houserrovers wrote:
I am not sure what the BBID password really is, btw.
The online password you changed was (I surmise) your BBID credential...but has nothing whatsoever to do with the on-device security lock password. Your issue was caused by the on-device password, which you could not affect via any online means.
If you are not sure what your BBID credentials are, refer to the link I gave you above, as it contains much useful information in that regard.
Good luck!

Hard Drive password not accepted in new W530

I am moving a hard drive from a W500 to a W530 laptop. The hard drive has a password on it and it works fine on the W500. When I put the drive in the W530 laptop, it does not accept the password on boot up. If I move the drive back to the W500, it all works fine. This is a 1TB drive, so I'm hoping I can still use it! Thanks for any help here.

Good afternoon and welcome to the community.
Since the HDD password is accepted when it's installed in the W500, why not pull off the password in BIOS there, reinstall the drive into the W530 and then set the password in the W530's BIOS?
Regards.
