Please check the error again. What exactly are you trying to do and at what point do you see an error. Failed attempt is not an error that I am familiar with, and what would make you want to change your password when you do not report that the error mentioned anything about a password. See this for properly constructing a question to get the maximum assistance you can.

I'm trying to update my software to iOS 8.3 but for some reason whenever i type in my Apple ID it says failed attempt so i changed my password, and tried it again but it still won't update. The password works for everything else because i tried downloading an app with this password and it worked. I'm not sure if the update won't recognize the password or what.
