won't accept hotmail password

I changed my password on Hotmail and Facebook last night. Worked ok on pc and ipad2. Now this morning after recharging my ipad won't accept my hotmail password and has locked me out. How do I get back into my ipad??

Exactly the same thing happened to me. Forced yesterday by hotmail to reset my password - at least that's what happened after it for some reason stopped accepting the original one. Now this morning, my iPad wants a password for it, but the same one I now use for hotmail on my PC doesn't work, and there seems to be no way around it.


What the h___ is going on with this?

Finally figured out how to get past this crap. The critical step is to very quickly hit the Settings icon after the reboot procedure, before the model password dialog pops up. That got me into settings, but the **** password dialog popped up again. So I hit cancel, and while it was waiting to jump out at me again, I clicked the Mail, Contact, Calendar settings so that panel appeared. Then I could delete the Hotmail account (which will never again be used on my iPad). Sheesh...
