Why Won't The App Store Accept My Password?

App Store Won't Accept My Password

I powered on my beautiful, new iPad Mini 4 today for the first time. All is going well, but unfortunately I've run into a problem: The App Store won't accept my Apple ID password! The message is:

"Verification Failed. Your Apple ID or password is incorrect."

What's crazy is that I'm able to update pre-installed apps. And I can sign in to iTunes on my Windows PC and get apps sent to my iPad from iTunes. But I can't get apps from the App Store!

How can I get the App Store to accept my password?

SOLVED!

I was able to <ahem> solve my own problem.

Has anyone ever realized how similar the number "1" and the letter "l" look?

:redface: :redface: :yes:

Are you the OP?

I am the OP. Here's what happened:

I did not know that the same people run both iMore and Android Central. I previously signed up at Android Central with an Android-centric name (Daddyroid) which was automatically assigned to me for this forum also. I decided that I preferred a platform-independent username, so I asked Mobile Nations to change my username to Father Tech.

Glad you figured it out, and welcome to iMore!
