Cannot verify server Identity on Iphone 4 on 3G

Hi,

I have been using my Iphone 4 for almost 2 months now in my office where there is no Wi-Fi network. So, I use 3G network.
Recently, every time I start using my phone (irrespective of If I am using internet or not), I get this error message -
"Cannot Verify Server Identity
Wi-Fi can't verify the identy of "10.1.1.1" Would you like to conitue anyway?
The buttons are - Cancel / Details/ Continue."

Irrespective of the button I click, I am taken to a log-in screen. I have no idea which login id or password should I enter? Also, my 3G contiue to work. This error message does not affect my internet access. Moreover, when I am at home and using Wi-Fi, this error never crops up.

I never had this problem ever before. And Its turning out to be pretty irritating. Even if I click the Photos, this error crops up.

Can you let me know what can I do to get over with this error?

Iphone 4, iOS 4

Having this same issue. But only when sending photos, or forwarding emails with attachments...

but I can send myself an email saying hello....

Resetting password does nothing. Deleteing the enitre mail account, and readding it does nothing..

What the ****!!! I Just want to email, a picture is it too much to ask?

Since this thread began in 2010 it might have been better to post your question as a new topic. But in any case try

Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings

I had let my iphone battery run down. Since I had set Date and Time manually, it was wrong. I kept getting these Cannot verify server identity messages, and solved it by following the suggestion above to set my time and date. Works fine now.

There was something wrong with the date and time (I was changing it to cheat on a game 😝) and i set it back to automtic and eveything was back to normal. This worked for me and it might work for you if that's the case.

The problem can happen on iPad too — any iOS device. In iOS 7, go to Settings > General > Date & Time, and make sure Set Automatically is turned on. If the date and time are set too far in the past or future, you will get these Cannot verify server identity warnings all over the place. You may also find that you cannot access the App Store and certain apps.
