Wi-Fi Network Password Not Accepted

I'm in an AT&T area and using a 2Wire Wireless Router. Used my home wi-fi for the first time for my phone. I entered the password to my router and I thought it worked. I tried to go to YouTube and my wi-fi now says "Authentication error occurred". I tried several times to enter and no such luck. So I went to my PC and re-set my password to the router. Now when I want to go to YouTube, my network name comes up and the word "(unchanged)" in the password field. I press Connect, and I get "Incorrect Password". I enter my new password and I get again "Incorrect Password".
Do I need to re-set my router password again? Don't know what to do. Would like to use my wi-fi so I don't use up my data quickly.

First off turn off your modem and your router and your phone. Going on assumption you changed the password to your router correctly write it down exactly as entered. (uppercase and lowercase and numerials if you used them)
Now in this order turn on your broadband modem, make sure its fully up to working order. Then turn on your wireless router and again make sure its fully cycled up before you turn on your phone.
Now assuming your routers password is correct, your device should see your ssid of your network. If its found click on connect, then when it asks for the network key enter it exactly with no spaces etc. Then click ok etc.
If the password is correct you should have no problem connecting. Please note if your phone was upgraded to Jelly Bean OS you may have to buy a new up to date router to access your network. You may want to stop at a public wifi to see if you can connect I use my auto dealer wifi, or my friends wifi. If you can connect everywhere else the router at home may be your issue.
Good Luck

Network Password not accepted, works on other computers

We have an Airport extreme (looks like a UFO). Everything worked fine last night, but this morning our MacBook Pro cannot join the network because the password times out - Have rebooted both computes and Airport, no success. Other computers in the house can still log on to the network with the same (old) password - Any help?

Hello Barbara Raley. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Try the following on your MacBook Pro:
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
o Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
o Restart or log out then back in.
If this doesn't solve the problem, I suggest disabling wireless encryption on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and then, reestablish it with a completely new password.

Deskjet 3520 wireless network password not accepted but it is the correct password

I just got this Deskjet 3520 printer and it's supposed to use my wireless connection. I got as far as it selecting the correct wireless network and the correct password was already there but after configuring a few minutes, it said the wireless network rejected the password. This happened a few times and I tried both the wireless network key and the system password. So I don't have a wireless printer at this point. I hope someone can help. thanks.

Hi mwell10,
I suspect you would have to either call your router provider or you can go into the EWS (Embedded Web Server) of the router using its IP address.
To get the IP address of the router you can click on the airport/wifi icon on the top right of the Mac screen ans select *Open Network Preferences*. Then in the Network Preferences you will see the Router IP address.
Take this IP address and put it into the address bar of a Safari browser.
Use the Thread below for further assistance.

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.

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.

Signed up on furefox desktop 2/2. No problem. Today password not accepted. Asked for help 3 hrs ago and never got email and nit in spam

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.

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.

Blackberry Appworld Issue BBID Password Not Accepted

I have enjoyed my PlaBk for almost a year but this has never happened. I attempted to purchase an app. When asked.com for my BBID password it would not accept it. I tried a few times more without working. So I went to Blackberry and changed my BBID password. But back on the playbook it still not accept my password. .
Something else...in MyAppWorld, when I try and re-install an previously uninstalled app, I get a 0003-0005 error on the screen of my PlaBk
When I go to the Blackberry ID in the Options, the message comes up 'Unable to Connect'
But I am connected via WiFi and I can go onto appworld???
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The router seems to be doing its job alright with all aspects of playbook connectivity seeming to work flawlessly. The more I read though, the more it looks like the playbook and the blackberry ID software is in some kind of conflict. So the BBID works on the phone, and on the website, but still not the playbook. A "003-005" error is generated when I attempt to update software from MyAppWorld. If I attempt to purchase, a network error is reported

Kindle - wifi password not accepted

I have just bought my first Kindle - from Tesco, so, unlike a Kindle from Amazon, it is not sold ready to go. I have to connect via WiFi in order to register it. But it is not accepting my wifi network password. I am pretty sure I am entering the correct password because I used the same one for my laptop! Very frustrating! Can I reset my wifi network password via the BT website and start again with the Kindle (and my laptop)? Best wishes - Kate

Hi Kate and welcome
It does sound like you're trying to use the wrong key
For the homehub 3 - Lift the little tab and type in what is under Wireless key:
Don't use the Wireless WPS Pin or the Admin password
For the home hub 2 - On the rear of the hub, it's the one after Wireless key (WPA):
Don't use the Wireless Pin or the Admin password

SYS password not accepted during WEBDB install

I have installed the 8i Enterprise Edition, Enterprise Manager and WebDB software from the OTN site. I successfully installed EI and EntMan on my NT server box. However, when I attempted to install the WebDB software, the install wizard would not accept the SYS password I supplied. I have tried the change_on_install password, and additional passwords for the SYS user (I reinstalled a number of times in an attemp to correct the problem, myself)....Obviously, with no success.
Please Help.

Your SQL Net probably is not being resolved correctly.
You have two sqlnet.ora's in this configuration. What happens when you open sqlplus at the command prompt? Are you getting SQL PLus 8.0.5 or 8.1.5??
If its 8.0.5 you have to do 2 things.
1 set your tns_admin for the system enviromnment to your ORACLE8i_HOME/Network/Admin.
Check your settings with set | more
also modify your net80 tnsnames.ora

Why is wireless password not accepted?

Hi Again!
Does anyone know why my wireless password isn't accepted at home or anywhere where Wi-Fi is provided? At home, I must enter the key code from my Linksys router set-up in order to connect. It will not accept my normal password. When I'm out at a cafe or other Wi-Fi locations, my iBook will never accept the establishment's password. My partner took the iBook (G3 12" 700mhz) with her on her road trip to California. The only places that she was able to connect were places without password protection. The WEP option is selected when trying to connect, but I have also tried the others without success.
I have looked through the settings on Internet Connect and System Preferences>Network and everything seems to be in order. The Internet Connect Help menu provided no help at all.
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 with all updates and the original Airport card for G3s.
Any ideas out there? I am fully prepared to be humbled and embarrassed by the likely simple solution to this. No need to spare me.
Thanks!
Randy

Hi, is the WEP PW 13 ASCII or 26 HEX?
Any strange characters in it?
What brand/model Router is it?
Might try this...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point(s) and Remove your access point(s) with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry(ies).
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
BTW, WEP only takes a few seconds to break anymore, not much security at all.

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.

ID password not accepted anymore (once worked)

Good morning,
I am kind of desperate...and I hope somebody is familiar with this problem.
I have adobe reader 11 XI, the latest version.
I am taking a trainingcourse at Learningtrain. They provide lessonmaterial with certificates / id only.
I created an ID and sent that to my teacher. fyi: I was strongly advised to switch off the automatic update option..as adobe deletes id's... and i did.
The teacher had it all set up. And it worked! I could succesfully open the material with my password.
now the issue:
But it only worked once! Very strange. the ID is still there,but adobe does not accept my password any more
so i cannot open the file anymore. My home work is due today... and it is a lot ;-)
I have checked and double checked my password and is must be correct.
My teacher advised me to delete this id, and to create a new one. but that does'nt work as reader still askes
for my password when i want to delete the id.
so i decided to deinstall reader and install again (who knows...) but it lookes like i cannot delete it.
fyi: I also have adobe acrobat pro on my pc as i have the whole adobe css range. but I have exclusively used the reader.
Hope you can help me.
Kind regards Asha

Well, if you can't uninstall Reader, you probably have something wrong. But, if you were advised against updating, uninstalling will surely be worse!
I'm afraid I don't know what kind of password this is, there are so many possibilities. What does the prompt say? A screen shot would be good (BUT DON'T TRY TO EMAIL IT IN REPLY).
