I've tried typing in my password over and over but it still says its wrong. I've tried resetting my network settings, resetting location settings, hard resetting the iPad, turning Wi-Fi on and off, changing the HTTP to Auto but nothing works. It still says my network password is wrong (even though when I updated my iPhone 4 it didn't even disconnect from my Wi-Fi whereas the iPad 3 did
I have the Wi-Fi only model.
iOS 6
I am having the same issue on my 4s. I have the correct password and have confirmed it on several other devices. Still saying 'Incorrect Password"
i just got the iPhone 5 today. it will connect to non-password wi-fi, but not the password protected ones.

Have you tried do a network reset on the device or a soft reset?
network reset did nothing. and i already did the soft reset (hold down the lock and home button for 10 seconds), which also did nothing.
i've entered my Wi-Fi password so much that i've memorized it...and it's a 26-character code 😟
I have tried everything as well. I have reset my router, network settings, etc....... EVERYTHING!!! I can't find a solution to this problem. I believe mine is an iOS 6 issue that needs to be addressed!
This is to DJ Pezz as well... What kind of wireless routers do you use. Please give Manufacture, the Model and firmware version. What I would like to do is make sure your routers are up to date. Also another thing for the both of you, Did your wifi password work before the update to ios6?
I reset my phone by unsecuring my network, updating through the cloud and resetting the phone. Everything came back up and I am able to connect to my network.
i unsecured my network and tried but it still didn't connect. and yes, everything worked fine before iOS 6, it's a problem on Apple's side.
Doing a "Firmware Restore" on my iPad 3 solved the problem for me. This was recommended by the Apple Genius Bar. I had already tried resetting the iPad, etc. Also, my local wifi/router is an AirPort, and I had the same incorrect password symptom on other networks I had previously been able to connect to, prior to IOS 6 update.
Simple steps for iPad 3 Firmware Restor:
Connect iPad to iTunes
Backup iPad in iTunes
Reset iPad by pressing both the Home & the Power buttons for about 7 seconds
As soon as the iPad disappears from iTunes, release the Power button but keep the Home button pressed
After a few seconds, iTunes will prompt regarding Recovery Mode, etc.
I had the same problem. I tried the Screen Brightness suggestion on http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304 and this seems to have solved it. I'm astounded that this seems to have fixed it but it did...
but will that erase everything?
Oh holy mother of science I figured it out on my son's iPad by stupid luck and chance!
We had restored it because when Dad helped my 9 yr old set it up, he used my iCloud - oh no, he doesn't need to get my mail! So, we did a wipe. When we did, EVERY last (#*)%&)@&$%)(* time we entered in our netword password key, it said 'incorrect password. Having experienced this before, I reset the network settings on the iPad. Nope. Didn't work. I made sure my POS Verizon Router was okay- and it was - all our other devices had no connectivity issues. The network was found by the iPad, strong signal, but the password, which we carefully entered and re-entered 12 million times was always incorrect. AAAARGH!!! 😢😠😢
Well, turns out that the issue was when we restored, it took out the key choice (WAP/WEP/WAP2, etc).
So, this time I reset the network settings again, deleted our home network, then re-entered it as new, but before entering the password, I chose "WAP2" (which is what it is/always has been but was not "checked" now- yours may be WEP or WAP or enterprise or whatever, just enter the right one for your network), entered the password and Et Voila! It WORKED.
Of course this was right after I'd called Apple, explalined the "bug", told them all my other devices worked and that I'd reset network settings. You know, I don't even think Apple's Geniuses (and I do love them) knew you have to re-check the key choice...
Anyway, i hope it works for you as it did us. Now I can call and cancel the personalized replacement and all things are restored to peace in my household. 🙂
Mu hu ha ha ha ha ha! I am a MOM GENIUS!!!!
