I recently changed my Apple ID password on all my devices because a cellular phone store reset it in order to set up 2 new Apple devices I was buying for me. I did not have my password with me at the time. All my devices were working properly but on the iPad Pro 9.7 inch (no WiFi) I am asked for my Apple ID and password for some tasks and the new password is not being accepted. Can I correct this? Thank you.

Thank you. I read "What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support" and then I found the actual problem: I had entered the password incorrectly and left out one character by mistake. Now, on the iPad Pro 9.7 inch (no WiFi), when I am asked for my Apple ID and password the new password is being accepted.
It’s good to learn that the cause of the problem has now been identified - and the problem resolved.
Why is my Apple ID password not accepted?
