Hi, I have just had the same problem and kind of worked it out myself. Go to http://appleid.apple.com as others have suggested and there will be an option to generate an app specific password. This is for any app or service that is outside of apple. I use Outlook for my me.com email address and all of a sudden it stopped working and asked for a password. I kept trying my password for my apple id, which didn't work. I then inserted the password from the app specific password option into the email settings and the emails started to work again. I hope this helps.

If you have an @me.com address then you have an iCloud account for which the sign-in is an Apple ID which is the me.com address. Got to http://appleid.apple.com and sign in with the @me.com address and appropriate password and you will be able to change the password. It's advisable to sign out of any devices which are signed into this account before you do this, then sign back in with the new password.

Your @me.com address is an Apple ID, it's just a different one from the one you are using for iTunes etc. When you go to http://appleid.apple.com you will probably be presented with a default login to the iTunes ID; you should be able to delete that and enter the @me.com address and sign in with the password for that rather than the iTunes ID. If might be worth clearing your browser's cache before trying again.

I can only speak for the more than 6 accounts in my family and my friends accounts. They all have me.com email addresses which some of them are also using as a Apple ID for iTunes. If I or someone else wants to change the password, then he has to go to https://appleid.apple.com/ to sign in and change the password and it will automatically be changed for all iTunes and iCloud. If you go to www.icloud.com (on your Mac/PC via Safari), sign in and click on your name then you will see your Apple ID which is connected to your me.com address. If you click on it you will be directed to https://appleid.apple.com where you can change the password etc. Trust me, it is the only way.
