At times there may be no difference which is why it would have been nice if you had described what problems you are having with your equipment. Typically though, a passcode is what you enter to open a mobile device and a password is what you use to log into your Apple Account. Still, you can have a alphanumeric passcode which turns it essentially into a password.
