Q: How do I enter a new password into my ipad mini?

My BtYahoo account was "compromised" on the evening of 4th Feb......it affected tablets etc.   As requested by BT Internet I changed my password and did all the other listed checks without finding anything untoward.  I can use my desktop and iphone, but I don't know how to put the new password into my ipad mini.  I tried deleting the old password from mail etc in settings, and putting the new one in, but still can't send mail.  I'm assuming the password is the problem....I'm sure that there must be a correct way of changing it that I haven't discovered.   Help please!   Ariesowl

    I'm not familiar with BtYahoo specifically, but generally speaking, there are two passwords for an email account.  One is for receiving and one is for sending email.  Check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your email account] > [Advanced --- or outgoing mail server]

     

    ... and look for a password in that area.
