It turned out to be cured by waiting 24 hours and trying again (on the new machine). This was suggested by Apple as a solution to a problem caused by too many failed login attempts. Thanks though.

Hi there Michaelesf,

If your password is rejected on one of your devices, but working on another, you'll want to start by making sure you don't have caps lock or any other keyboard features enabled that could be affecting the characters you're entering for the password.

If the issue persists, you can try resetting your Apple ID password with the steps here: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Take care.
