Suddenly getting 'password incorrect' message for Exchange account Hotmail.

Suddenly getting this mail error message on my iPad3. I enter the correct password (works fine on my pc) but iPad doesn't accept it.  It won't accept the 'cancel' button either, so I'm stuck on this screen, and can't use the ipad.  Can anyone help?

Try this to get the iPad to function again.
Reset 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 boots up - try this for the password issue.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • How to Stop "Password Incorrect" Prompt for Exchange

    OK, first off, please don't say "enter the correct password". I am, but my company's Exchange server is having some issues and it's not accepting requests from the iPhone (or other ActiveSync devices).
    As such, I'm getting the popup/prompt that says "Password Incorrect". When my company fixes their end, I'm sure it'll be fine, but for now, how do I get it to stop popping up? Doesn't matter if I hit "Cancel" or "OK", it just comes back 10 seconds later. I've turned off PUSH and FETCH, so I don't know why it's still making requests to the server.
    This is getting really annoying. I can't type a SMS message, surf the web, or listen to my music without it getting in my way every 10 seconds. I've tried rebooting the phone, but that did nothing.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Well I never setup an Exchange account, but with other accounts, when you go into Settings, then Mail, Calendar etc Settings. I can go into any of my mail accounts setup and there is a flip switch to just turn off. It leaves all the settings to be there later when you turn that account back on, but turning it off fully removes it from the Mail app.

  • Exchange email suddenly stops working - password incorrect message

    For the couple of months that I've had my iPhone, I have had email/contacts/calendar working fine through syncing with an Exchange server. Now it's suddenly stopped working, coming up with a 'password' incorrect message no matter how many times I input the correct password. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the email account, but the same problem arises. The username and server details are all exactly the same as those with which I initially set up the account.
    One thing I have noticed is that when going back into the Account Info page on the iPhone, the password entry indicates 8 characters even though my exchange password has 10 characters, which I'm fully inputting each time.
    I know that many people have experienced problems getting the Exchange up and running; I'm confused, though, that having had it working fine it should suddenly 'drop' the password for no apparent reason. Any advice would be appreciated!

    This problem seems to have resolved itself - the fault was with the Exchange Server, apparently.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried deleting the account from your device and then signing back in again.

    What exactly do you mean by the statement that you have reset your Apple ID and password. I am not familiar with being able to reset and Apple ID.

  • TB 27.0.1 (W7) will not "get new messages for all accounts"

    I installed W7 with IE11and downloaded the latest TB (27.0.1) I have added five email accounts (more to be added) and none of them show up in the left pane - only global Inbox and two folders I created. I can get new messages manually one account at a time, but "get new messages for all accounts" (or Shift F5) does nothing. Most of this happed after MS installed well over 100 updates to my W7, but some of my accounts never did show up in the left pane even before the W7 updates. I have reinstalled TB - nothing changes.

    Matt, I thank you for your kind and gracious response (Ok I will say this only once....). Be assured that I would never think of asking your advice again.
    The crux of the matter has been resolved by checking the “Include this server when getting new mail” box in each account’s “Advanced” box under “Server Settings.” Now every time TB checks for new mail (including on startup), the process is displayed in the lower left portion of the window. I wish this had been explained to me more clearly early on.
    Having all accounts in the left pane has become unimportant now that I can see the mail being checked on startup, periodically, and on Shift F5.
    I consider this thread closed.

  • Is viewing Mail for Exchange account in Nokia Mess...

    I've got a XM5530 with the latest firmware installed. I've downloaded what i thought was the latest version of Mail for Exchange (from the SW update on the phone) v.2.09(208). I saw a v3 available on Ovi.com, but when I downloaded and installed, it still says v2.09(208) on my phone.
    My version of Nokia Messaging is also the latest version I can find (10.02(4)).
    Both are working fine independantly, but I want to have my Mail for Exchange account in my Nokia Messaging. Is this possible???
    I saw online that the latest version of Mail for Exchange supports Nokia Messaging, and when you set up a new email account you get an option to select an 'Exchange' account. But, I don't get this. All I get is enter fields for 'email address' & 'password' which I enter, but it does not recognise my details. (I get no 'exchange' option).
    Is this only available on certain handsets. Can I do it on my 5530??
    Please help

    Hello,
    Mail for Exchange 3.0 is not (yet?) supported on the 5530.
    I am also waiting, does anyone know if Nokia plans to release Mfe 3.0 for  the 5530 ??? Sure hope so, for the moment  I am using 2.9 but the support for subfolders and HTML would be a huge benefit!!
    Regards,
    Filip.

  • C6-00 mail for Exchange account consumes a lot of ...

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to set up push mail for my gmail account. I have tried RoadSync application and built-in 'Mail for Exchange' account in my phone. While RoadSync after one hour of instance connection consumes about 100kB of transfer built-in account consumes mega bytes of transfer. It activates connection every 10-20 sec and send and receive data. In both cases I didn't receive any new message.
    Does anyone of you has the same problem and can explain me why my phone is updating all the time? Push mail suppose to receive data only when new email is on my inbox, not all the time. Do you know how to reduce this data consumption? I don't care if my phone reads a lot of data because I have unlimited Internet but it also takes a lot of battery and that's my major problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Regards,
    JaCKubi

    I had this same problem with my C6-00 and my older E71. I could not get GMail to successfully syncronise using Nokia Mail for Exchange.
    I ended up purchasing another client from the Ovi Store (RoadSync) which works perfectly.
    I am not pleased that Nokia's client doesn't work with my service, but the RoadSync client was quite cheap (US$6.60) and hasn't failed me once.
