apple password says incorrect

Welcome to iMore! I'm not sure why your password wouldn't work unless you're making a typo, either with your email address or password. My only suggestion would be to connect your iPhone to iTunes and perform a restore that way, then try entering your Apple ID and password again once the restore finishes. If you need help restoring your iPhone using iTunes use this Apple Support article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252

Re: apple password says incorrect

More than likely, it is asking for the iCloud passcode because the device is probably protected with the iCloud activation lock.
