Q: AirPlay not recognizing my password
I have a Gen. 4 iPod Touch, and my Touch, iTunes and AppleTV all have the latest updates. Today I wanted to play a video from my iPod on my AppleTV via AirPlay, and a window popped up on my Touch saying: "AirPlay Password - Enter the password for Apple TV"
I was never asked for an AirPlay password before. So, I just entered my iTunes Account password, and it keeps getting rejected.
However, I am able to get on the Internet with my Apple TV and watch videos on YouTube.
Please don't tell me to reset my password. It works fine with iTunes and the iTunes Store. Why is AirPlay asking me for a password, and how do I put one in if it won't accept it?

Apple TV
You can set a password on the Apple TV to stop Airplay without permission, this is a separate password from your iTunes Account or indeed your homesharing password. This may be the password you are being asked for. (Settings/Airplay from your Apple TV)
