iMessage not allowing me to access it
I have used imessaging for years but now find I can't access it; it recognises my id & password but will not verify me.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6

Nope...none of these helped; I tried most of the ideas anyway but none of them work
I had the exact same problem no more than a month ago, it's very simple, just connect to a different (and better) Internet connection, this problem is caused because of date and time issues, this is a fix, if you have tried all other suggested solutions from Apple.
I am using the best available internet connection...still nothing
In that case, your best bet is to turn IMESSAGE off, also turn off your wifi, set it to airplane mode, then go to settings>general>reset>reset connection settings, you'll be prompted for a password, input your password, then confirm, your iPod will restart, when it comes back on, turn off airplane mode, turn your wifi on, connect to your wifi, then completely turn off your iPod, when it comes back on, connect to wifi, then turn on iMessage, if this doesn't work, there is one more solution.
Don't have "reset connection settings" as an option. Tried "reset network settings" instead but still no joy
I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In
All my settings were as you describe anyway, so no this didn't work
You said there was one more option if the previous suggestion failed....presumably you mean back it up & restore factory settings?
