Won't accept new password for appleID when trying to access my iCloud

I keep trying to access my iCloud on my mac but everytime I type in the password, it says wrong password for my appleID and then I reset my password and it still won't accept the new one.  I have done this many times and still can't get access to icloud.  This all started when I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Someone please help.  I have an imac 10.8.2, my software is up to date.  Oh, I am not very computer savy so any help in lay mens terms or the idiots guide to apple would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, sadly since 10.7, OSX is getting terribler®
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

    Hi, YeonatanJ. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I see you have reset your Apple ID password and the account still indicates that it is disabled.  I would recommend reaching out to us via the article below.

  • I changed my itunes password. Ok on my iMac but Appletv won't accept new password

    I changed my itunes password. It is ok on my iMac but my Appletv won't accept the new password -- asks over and over.

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iPad on your iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad 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.

  • HT5787 I have reset my password  but I cloud and App Store won't accept new password

    I have reset my password and my I cloud and App Store won't accept the new password

    Normally it's the Apple ID that's tied to your content not your password (You can change your password every day if you want to). Try again and choose the option I forgot my password and your will get an e-mail how to go about it.

  • "Password Incorrect" appears when trying to access voicemail

    I am not getting my voicemail. Instead, when I tap voicemail, a prompt appears which says "Password Incorrect--Enter voicemail password". I have no idea what my voicemail password is/was, so it won't let me create a new one when I go the "change password" in settings. What now?

    To reset the password for your voicemail, you can dial 611, select option 3, then option 3 again.
    You will receive a text with your reset password that is usually the last 7 digits of your phone number.
    These steps are for AT&T customers. Other carriers may different steps.
    If this does not work, contact AT&T to have the voicemail box reset.

  • Message "Password is blocked" when trying to access nwa

    Hello everyone,
    when i try to access the nwa with the administrator user i get the message "Password is blocked".
    1. Why is it blocked? It's the first time anyone tries to access the nwa in this installation
    2. How can i unblock it? Note: the password is only blocked for the nwa, SAP Logon can be accessed without problems.
    Sincerely,
    Tanja Wiemann
    EDIT:
    when i enter a wrong password, the same message appears.
    Do i have to set a distinct nwa-password for that user somewhere?

    Thanks for the answers.
    I'm not really a SAP-Expert so i don't know most of the abbrevations used in those links.
    I used another workaround: i created a new user and gave him the j2ee-administrator-role (which the blocked user also had).
    The other user is still locked, but i have the feeling that i will have to invest too much time to learn how to unlock him (seems to be symptomatic in the SAP-world: great effort -> little effect...).
    Sincerely,
    Tanja

  • I have been unable to update my IMovie app to version 10. It won't accept my password for my account.

    i get an update notice for Imovie but when I try to update it the APP Store will not accept my Apple ID password.  I have no problem updating other apps and downlaoding apps and music.  I have the Mavericks OS but the problem is a carryover from Mountain Lion. 

    Hello Sriggers,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Log in does not prompt enter new password for first time login

    hi experts,
    I have created a new client and conducted a client copy for its data. Upon creation of new user for that client, I've provided the initial password. When the user tried to log in, it did not prompt him with the "Enter new password:". Also when trying to change password in the log in screen, it says. "You can no longer change password". How can I fix this one? im using ecc6.
    Thank you!

    HI,
    Check what kind of user you are creating first i.e dialog (or) service.
    second check if you are having permissions to change the password (or) not.
    For service user it will not prompt and for dialog it will prompt automatically.
    With Regards,
    Prashanth

  • Changed Apple ID now mobile phone won't accept the password

    I changed my Apple ID using my laptop.  I have synched my phone since then, but somehow my phone now won't accept my password.  I'm trying to download an app and it brings up the old apple ID and then says my password was entered incorrectly.  My password is not incorrect and I am able to get into my apple account via my laptop.  What can I do? 

    On your Phone sign Out of your Account... close All open Apps.. and Perform a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    Now try it...

  • FaceTime won't accept the password which I wrote down some time ago and doesn't provide a "forgot your password" option. And when I try to create a new account it tells me that my email is already registered. What can I do to revise my password?

  • When I try to access the Apple store to install a game on my Iphone3g, another person's email address comes up on the page that asks for my password. Has someone hacked my account? It won't accept my password because it's someone else's ID!!!

    When I attempt to install a game on my I phone 3g, another person's ID (email address) is on the little box where it asks for my password. It won't accept my password because it's not my ID. How can I get this person's ID off my phone?  Have I been hacked or something??

    Just sign put of that account and into yours.

  • Asking for password for keychain access, but won't accept my password... What's up with this?

    Restarted my MacBook just now and it's got a continuous stream of pop ups asking for password for keychain access, won't accept my password, won't go away (cancel), any suggestions.

    Hello Al323,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Keychain Access on your Mac.  I found a couple of articles I suggest for the issue you described.
    Your keychain uses your the same password as your login password.  If it is not accepting that password, I recommend running the Keychain First Aid using the steps in this article:
    Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296
    If you are still repeatedly seeing a prompt to enter your Keychain Access password, you may need to reset your keychain.  This will create a new keychain so any saved passwords on the old keychain will not be available, and you will need to enter them when accessing sites for the first time again.  Follow the steps in the article below to create a new keychain:

  • Setting up new ipad 2. Won't accept my PW for my Airport Extreme (Wi Fi network?)  Where is the PW for my WiFi? I am stymied. Can I set up through My MacBook Pro, which IS connected to my WiFi network?

    Setting up new ipad 2. Won't accept my PW for my Airport Extreme (Wi Fi network?)  Where is the PW for my Wi Fi? I am stymied. Can I set up through my MacBook Pro, which IS connected to my WiFi network?

    If you could provide the make and model number of the modem that the AirPort Extreme will be connecting to, we can likely tell you a bit more about what to expect in the way of getting the AirPort set up and working.
    Unfortunately, "plug and play" does not apply here. You will need to set up and configure the AirPort Extreme using your iPad or iMac to name the AirPort as a device, assign a device password, name the wireless network, assign a device password and a few other things.
    Once the AirPort Extreme is set up, you can connect the PC to one of the LAN <--> ports on the AirPort Extreme using an Etherent cable.
    The iPad and iMac will connect to the wireless network that the AirPort Extreme provides.
