My late 2011 MacBook Pro running El Capitan will not accept my ICloud password and I've changed it multiple times already. It will let me sign in here and at ICloud.com, but not in the System Preferences for the computer.

What happens when you try? Error message(s)?
Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?
Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

It started when I wanted to re-add an email to Imail. That led to ICloud asking to put my password in, which it wouldn't accept. It finally did but now its just spinning. Last time I had to force quit and restart. I will do what you said and see what happens. But even if it does work, how does that solve my problem? I really don't care about adding that email account. Just want ICloud to work right through System Preference.
Thank you so much! I honestly do not know what worked but it finally accepted my ICloud login. Appreciate the time.
