"Your user name or password is incorrect" except that it is not
I'm trying to implement the icloud email on an android device. I entered all the imap information correctly. However, I get the message that my user name or password is incorrect. I tried to drop the @icloud.com as suggested. I tried also with @icloud.com and @me.com and @mac.com. Whenever I get the wrong user name or password. Absolutely, I'm using the correct password as username. What's wrong? I am a resident of the United States with iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air. However, I travel extensively in the United Kingdom and recently bought an android phone UK pay-as-you-go. What can cause anything to do with it?
Hi JoanneP,
I understand that you are having problems, set up your email address to iCloud on your Android device because of its report that your user name or password are incorrect. If you have configured two-step verification or two-factor authentication the Apple ID that you are using to iCloud, this can happen if is not with a specific app password. The article below the link provides more information (including how to create and use) specific app passwords.

My friend has an e-machine (8 months) with Vista Home Basic. She started this morning and typed his password and go: 'the user name or password is incorrect'. She could not clear the checkpoint. A few times there was a pause as if he was going to go on the desktop, to finish with 'the user name or password is incorrect'. Regardless of how many times she hit, the results were the same. Everything was fine the night before. What are his options?
My brother thinks that his computer may have a virus.

I tried the suggested solutions winkey and none work. What I did is updated. To restart the computer it does not start starting System. It gives me the error message the user name or password is incorrect. I have nevrr had to use a password at startup.
Hi Dolores,
Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Communities.
I understand that you cannot start Windows after you install an update. Let me try and help you with this question.
1. What is the brand and model of the PC?
2. what solution did you tried to use the Windows key + R?
3. how many user accounts are defined on this computer?
4. is this a child account? The thread is in the parental controls category.
5. I understand that you have not set a password for this account, but requires you to enter a password when you're on the logon screen?
Check if you are able to start safe mode.
If you are able to start safe mode, and then try to perform a System Restore from there.
If you are not able to start safe mode, then I suggest you go to the Windows recovery environment and perform a system restore.
Let us know the result. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you.

I am a PC user and I have Adobe Creative Cloud Muse 2014. I received the "could not sign in you [access denied: 530]." Check your username and password "error. trying to download my muse to my ftp, GoDaddy host site I did it successfully in the past and that recently it has stopped working. I looked online at the Adobe Muse Help FAQ | Download a Site from Muse Adobe on a third-party hosting service and he said to download the ftpprefs.xml file but this file simply leads to a blank page that says / * not found * / / * not found * /.
Can you direct me to a page to work with this file, or provide an alternative? Thank you!
Hello
As you have found the error [access denied: 530] This means that the problem is with access. The user name and password that you enter is incorrect or you don't have the appropriate permissions.
I suggest you to contact Godaddy to reset the password or reset the permissions.

My user name and password have been correctly entered but saved correctly (not the first time). I removed any saved passwords. How can I get Firefox prompt again to offer save the name of username/password or is at - it another way to enter these details? Thank you.

When I started using a given FF web page asks if I want to save the user name and password. I select Yes and they are stored in the tools options passwords but most will not work on a second opening the page. E Bay is the only one that works.
I have removed everything several times and still wonder if I want to save the UN and PW but again, they do not work.
However when I type the first letter of my United Nations he suggests the full name and fills the password. So I know that information is stored is simply not provide as expected.
OS XP Home browser FF
There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.
If that "remember me" cookie is deleted or is corrupted or is not send to the server, then the server remember that you and you must connect once again.Websites to remember you and automatically log you in are stored in a cookie.
- Create a cookie exception allow (Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such cookies, especially for sites Web secure and if the cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you run not Firefox in private browsing mode.
- https://support.Mozilla.com/kb/private+browsing
- Private - browsing using Firefox without saving history all cookies are session cookies that expire if this session is over, so sites don't remember you.
- Do not remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear 'Cookies' and 'Site preferences.
Compensation of the "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

Hello Rahul Patil,
-Did you change on your computer before the show?
Follow the following troubleshooting methods:
Method 1:
Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
To set up the computer in a clean boot, follow the steps in the link: How to perform a clean boot
Note: After checking in the clean boot, follow step: 7 article to reset your computer to normal startup.
Method 2:
Run System File Check to fix the corrupted system files and then check how it works.
Check the link 'How to use the tool File Checker system to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or Windows 7' to run the System File Check.
Note: He may request DVDs windows of difficulty and allowing SFC to do more than minor repairs. Could some of the files saved on your computer are deleted when fixing corrupted files.

"User name or password is incorrect"
I am the admin on my PC and there is only one profile. When I try to log on windows, my admin (only profile) profile, I get the error message "username or password is incorrect', and I can not connect." However, if I "Change user" I can connect with my username (admin) and the password and can access my admin profile. It is not a major problem, but certainly a disadvantage. Any ideas?
Try clicking on the link "sign in options" under it and check that the "key" icon is enabled on these icons.

Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
You should contact the provider of messaging and see there are problems. See also if you can connect via webmail and if it works.
