iOS 8.1.3 wifi password incorrect

Hi dfinny,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the network is not accepting the password. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support

I had this same error message "Incorrect Password" when trying to connect to a wifi access point with my IPAD - it worked one day and didn't work the next. My IPad would connect to a different access point (router) with no problem. What resolved my issue? I don't know how but my wifi access point had blocked my IPAD and no other devices - once I UNBLOCKed the IPAD using the Administrator function of the Access Point I was able to connect. I have no idea how my IPAD became "BLOCKed" on the WIFI AP as I didn't even know I could do that.

This happened on the iPhone6 and iPadAir2 for me.

I have found out that after resetting the router, unplugging, resetting wireless on the devices, restarting, turnning off wifi, etc.(everything mentioned in the links above and Google searches) nothing worked.

What FINALLY worked for me was disabling and turning OFF the Personal HotSpot option. Once that happened, the password and wifi returned as normal. I'm not sure that doing everything mentioned helped too - but if disabling the HotSpot doesn't, backtrack please with the steps above.

Hopefully this helps someone!

Good luck :-D

I bought an ipod Touch yesterday, my first and probably only Apple product. The thing would NOT connect to my home wifi network and I knew the password I was keying in was correct but it kept telling me 'incorrect password'.

I rang the store's helpline where I bought it, they could not help and so put me through to Apple.

The person at Apple also could not help.....after 25 minutes of re-tracing what I was doing she concluded that the ipod must be faulty and to take it back to the store.

I got a replacement and guess what ...the same thing kept happening. I trawled the internet and found various suggestions but none worked for me.

To cut a long story short I finally came up with a solution myself after MUCH frustration.......long story short.....I managed to find out the ipod's MAC address and then went into my router wireless settings and added it as a 'trusted device'....and hey presto it connected when I tried the password again.

I can't find this solution anywhere so I thought I'd put it here just in case this advice manages to help someone else in the future.

It's not often I join a community just to respond to a single post, but this one is so obtuse that it left me speechless.

"Based on what you stated, it sounds like the network is not accepting the password."

No sh1t.
