Reset email password on Ipad

My email account keeps sending the message that I need to enter my password, and when I try to do this it says that email is not valid.  How can I reset this password on my Ipad?

Your password was sent to your emergency email address.  Perhaps you have an email you never use?   I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate.   You could even have completely different user and password.   Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

  • Updated the adobe reader app and can't access my documents after resetting email & password on iPad

    What do I do now? I want to get to my documents.

    I was in the process of moving my PDF documents on my iPad to the cloud. Before the update, I just tapped on the cloud icon while I was in the document and the document was automatically sent. Now I'm asked for my Adobe ID and a password. When I enter that info it says my password or ID is incorrect. Adobe still showed my old email, and trying to do a reset was futile since I couldn't access an email that was sent to my old email address. I set up a new account and password. I still can't send a document to the cloud and can't get to the documents I had already transferred there. It keeps saying password or ID is incorrect.

  • I keep receiving Reset email password emails. The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening??

    That's probably because it's been sent out to a Bcc'd mailing list and that's the name on the main version. This is so that you don't see the other names.
    If it doesn't come from something @apple.com then it's spam. Even if it appears to it's probably spam. If you want to change your password go directly to http://appleid.apple.com - do not follow any links in the email (even if they appear to lead to that address.)

  • Cant receive emails after resetting email password

    after resetting password for email on hotmail, i cant receive emails on my iphone, any ideas anyone

    Hey NedTrimming,
    I'd try out the following troubleshooting steps and see if that resolves the issue and lets you receive mail again:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.

  • HT201320 Can't reset email password in settings, keeps reverting to old password

    Changed yahoo mail password due to being spoofed I think.  When I change it in IPad settings, it will verify ok but when go back to the settings it is the old password in mail settings.

    This would be a question for Yahoo.

  • Resetting my password on ipad. Now locked out

    Cannot use my Ipad. Password has been locked. Will not comunicate with the computer as a device. How do I recover?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • HT204291 How do you reset your password?

    How do you reset your password on iPad to use airplay?

    I copied this from another discussion - from a pretty knowledgable Apple TV user.
    If you have forgotten your password, you'll need to reset it from the Apple TV. (settings > AirPlay)

  • Dont get reset email

    dont get reset email

    If you aren't getting the reset email (password ? security questions ?) and you've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on your primary and rescue email accounts (security question reset emails will only go to rescue email accounts), and tried clicking the reset link again, then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset your password and/or security questions.

  • Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti viru and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

    Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti virus and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

    As KP has pointed out, there actually aren't any anti-virus programs in the App Store. There are a few that allow you to scan e-mail or stuff like that, and a few that provide you with information about malware and new threats for other systems. But none are available that can scan your iOS device for malware, because the security restrictions in iOS do not permit any apps to have that kind of access to anything. Which means that you also cannot be infected with a virus (unless you have jailbroken your device).
    If your account got compromised, that had nothing whatsoever to do with your iPad. Someone simply hacked it remotely. Happens all the time. It's really amazing that, in this day and age, e-mail providers are so ignorant of technology and how their own systems get compromised that they would try to require you to run software that does not exist!

  • HT1430 I want to reset my email password. When I go to settings, then mail the section on accounts remains grey rather than bold & so I cannot enter in to it to reset the password. I have switched my ipad off & on & this makes no difference... any ideas?

    Hey Esmerelda17,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are wishing to change the stored password for an email account on your iPad 2.
    If you are unable to edit this field, you may want to remove and re-add the account. Please make sure to back up all of your information before doing so. Also Note: if this is an external email provider, you'll need to reset your password using their website, then update your iPad to reflect the new password.

  • My main account on my iPad is based off an email address that no longer exists and can not be recreated.  On top of that I forgot the password and answers to the security questions.  So I can not reset the password.  any suggestions?

    I Now get constant pop ups to logon to iCloud but it wants a password that I forgot.  I also forgot the security question answers.  It can not email me a password reset because the email no longer exists and Verizon won't let me recreate it.  I know this will sound crazy but when I created the original Apple account with the old email address I put in a bogus birthdate because I do not like giving out personal info.
    i Just want to do something to stop the iCloud popups.

    Try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset its password.

    When they've done that update the primary email address on the account to be an account that you have access to e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

  • I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

    Hi
    I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

    I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
    Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.
