Q: Iphone 8.2: WIFI Incorrect Password

Hi All,

 

I'm facing this problem on my Iphone 6. Even if I type in the correct password it says incorrect password.

  1. Tried Network Resetting
  2. Tried Complete Phone factory reset
  3. Tried restarting the router.

I have done through many forums. But couldn't find any answer which helped me.

 

Please help me solve this issue

 

Thank you

Vinay

iPhone 6, iOS 8.2

A:

if your router have the generic ssid it came with it would be you are trying to login into another wifi network then yours just with the same ssid

 

are you sure about the password ? there are appleID passwords and there are encryption passwords and admin passwords

    Did you already check the Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points ?

    Can you connect to other Wi-Fi networks?

    Did you try to disable the encryption on your router and see if you can connect without using the password?

     

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the Wi-Fi  setup and connection.

    If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider

    Ingo2711,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes, I have checked the recommended settings for Wifi.

    Yes, I can connect to other WIfi networks

    No. I cannot disable the encryption because its in my work place

     

    As you mentioned I had tried resetting my phone with restoring the backup. Still it didn't help me

    Ruder,

     

    The SSID is not generic. I'm using the same network in my laptop also.

    I'm sure that the password is correct.

    I had a problem connecting my iPad Air to my AT&T Unite wireless hotspot. Even though I was 100% positive that I entered the correct wifi password, I repeatedly go an error on the iPad Air saying that the wifi password entered was incorrect. I was able to connect before my update to IOS 9.0.1.

     

    Other devices were able to connect to the hotspot and I was able to connect the iPad Air to other wireless networks.

     

    A friend who is an IT genius told me that many wireless networks have a BLOCK feature. It allows you to view connected devices and block any devices you want to exclude from your network. If your device identifies with the wireless network as blocked, you will get an Incoorect Password error message, even though you are indeed entering the password correctly. (I guess they think it is better to say the password is wrong than that YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED.

     

    Although I did not place a block for my iPad Air, it identified as blocked after the IOS 9.0.1 update and no matter how many times I entered the correct password, I got the "incorrect password" message.

     

    I turned the block feature off from the AT&T Unite Hotspot and was able to enter the password successfully and connect.

     

    Hope this helps...image.jpeg
