Prompted for Exchange password, but no Exchange account

I have a user that has an iPhone 3GS and she says it was updated a month ago. Today the iPhone started to ask her for her Exchange password continuously. After removing the Exchange account from the iPhone, removing the pairing from Exchange server, closing all open apps, and a hard restart, the iPhone prompts for the Exchange password after a reboot. The strange thing is the account has been removed and the prompt doesn’t look like a normal dialog. I’m thinking herphone has been compromised. Any suggestions?

Here is my iPhone dialog box prompt. Not only does it look different, but it specifically states what account.

ICloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option. I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist

iCloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option. I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist. Anyone know what I can do to fix this or why this is happening.? I had no issue putting in my new Apple ID everywhere else, I could sign out of the old and inactive account and then sign back in using my new and proper one. However, after the update to 7.3 it did a whole welcome to yr iPad and a set up thing and it went to set up iCloud and had my old Apple ID in grey where I can't change or edit it, it wants the password, when I put in the old password, it say yr Apple ID is incorrect but yet it won't let me change it??????? Anyone???

Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

That is your mail account (or one of them anyway) and you need to get it from your Exchange administrator.

I am trying to restore a backup and itunes is asking for a password, but i don't remember being prompted to provide a password when the backup was created

I have been trying to use my Apple ID password but it is not valid for the request.

You were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after checking "Encrypt backup". It has been using the same password ever since. If you have a corporate MS Exchange account on the phone and the administrator required the phone to be encrypted then that also resulted in the backup being encrypted, but again you would have been prompted for a password the first time you backed up after installing the Exchange account. So think back and start trying passwords that you might have used in response to a password prompt at that time, especially if you didn't read the request carefully.

How can I set my iphone to prompt for a password when viewing a selected email account?

I can see a lot of people complaining about adhoc password entry when using email but nothing where people actually want to be prompted for a password. If I have multiple email accounts and a phone where others can pick up and enter the top level security 4 digit number, I would like one of the email accounts to be slightly more secure than the others, hence need it to prompt for a password. Does anybody have any ideas how I can do this?

Sorry, there is no way to do this in the current iOS. Suggest such to Apple here:

I tried downloading adobe flash but it prompts for a password, which i don't have. any suggestions?

i tried downloading adobe flash but it prompts for a password. none of the passwords i have (including that which i use with apple) works. any suggestions?

You are prompted for a password before installing Flash? If so, this is your Mac's admin password, which doesn't have anything to do with your Apple ID unless you chose to use the same password for your computer admin login account as is used for your Apple ID.

I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects. What am I missing? Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?

Hi - you might want to post this question on the Apple TV area - you would probably get a quicker response - if you have a specific question relating to Apple routers then post back here

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

IPhone4 keeps prompting for email password?

My iPhone4 keeps prompting for email password. I continue to re-enter but I continue to receive msg prompt. Help?

More than likely that is a Yahoo issue. Their mail accounts are historically bug ridden when operated in the mobile environment. Good luck.

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.

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

"If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

On my new iPhone, at the Apps store, I tried to make a purchase, the popup screen shows my Apple ID and asks for my password, but no keyboard appears so that I can enter the password. How do I get the keyboard to appear??

On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

After I update to ios5 and I am trying to update my apps on my ipod and its asking me for my password but the username has my old username on it

You can go to Settings>Store and log out of one account and log into another. However, apps are tied to the account that originally purchased them. You have to use that account to update them. Also, if you have apps from more than one account that need updating, you have to update them individually using the correct account until the ones left are from only one account. Then you can update all.

After jumpstart host doesn't prompt for root password

Hiya gang,
I am migrating my jumpstart functionality to a new server and while it would appear that 100% of things are identical on both (as far as my /jumpstart tree is concerned), when I jumpstart a host (V240, in this case, but I've seen it on a SunBlade 150 too) everything appears to go well, but after the host reboots at the very end and I attempt to log in on console as root I am not even prompted for a password.
I've booted to single user over the net and on the disk that was just jumpstarted I see what would appear to be a normal Solaris system. There are no indications that I can find of why it wouldn't prompt for password at all, and I'm not well enough versed with the way the login functionality works to know why this is.
My new jumpstart server is running Solaris 10 (08/07), and I'm trying to jump a host with the same version. The very same jumpstart using my old jumpstart server works just fine.
Thanks in advance,
pb

Darren,
Thanks for your reply. It got me in the right frame of mind for troubleshooting :)
I set up pam debugging for pam_ldap and got the following messages in /var/adm/messages:
Aug 29 10:13:46 testfoo login: [ID 293258 auth.warning] libsldap: Status: 2 Mesg: Unable to load configuration '/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' ('').

Aug 29 10:57:49 testfoo login[1225]: [ID 105162 auth.alert] open_pam_conf: Owner of /etc/pam.conf is not root
...so, I checked them out and /etc/pam.conf and /usr/lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so are both owned nobody:nobody, which smelled like an NFS issue since both of those files are copied over to the hosts as part of a JASS_FILES variable, but during the finish script execution (they're copied by install-templates.fin). So, I did some digging there and found another Sun forum thread that had info on it:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=841&threadID=5100999
...so I made the requisite change to /etc/default/nfs (setting the max version to 3) and the next jumpstart I tested worked perfectly, password prompt and all. All files that were previously owned nobody:nobody had the correct ownership this time around.
Crazy!
Thanks again Darren for your input!

When i want to download something it asks for a password but i didn't set one up?

i have just got a imac and when i want to download something e.g. Flashplayer it asks me for a password but i didnt set one up and i dont know what it is. Also, i cant change the password as i dont know the old one and there isnt a forgot password option what should i do? xx

Apple strongly recommends that each user have a password. If you never set one up, log into your account, and reset it. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 for details.
