Question

How do I resolve the problem of signing in to iMessage when it is saying apple ID or password is wrong while however the ID and password are valid?

I had set iMessage up on my ipad before. I stopped 3g Internet access on it for a few months. When I bounced back to continue the use access on it through wifi,i had forgotten my password. this led me to reset the password. I have been using my itunes account sine but iMessage is complaining that my ID or password is wrong.

I am still using the same ID though, so the problem should be the new password which is functional on iTunes.

I don't know why I cannot sign in to iMessage.

Thanks

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1, iOS 6.0.1

I also found one post saying to change the email in Apple ID to another one, verified it and then change it back to the original one and verified again. She says it helped.
