Macbook Pro won't connect to wifi my MacBook pro won't connect to our wifi, it keeps saying 'invalid password' regarding wifi, but it is correct. I have tried removing the wifi from the list in advanced settings and rejoining, changing the wifi password, restarting my computer, restarting out router, etc. My MacBook Air (with Mojave installed) suddenly stopped accepting my password and I can’t access my desktop (or anything else for a fact). It just happened out of the blue. I tried resetting the password in a Recovery Mode, but seems like the reset doesn’t work as the login screen shows my old password’s hint.
Im using a MacBook Pro which runs on OS X 10.6.8.
(1) Out of the blue, it launched Mac OS X Safe Boot when I powered it on yesterday.So, this Safe Boot requested the password, and I remember that password very well since I have never changed it since the last 3-years. However, the computer keep rejecting my entry.
(2) After so many failed attempts to bypass the Safe Boot Menu (which keep rejecting my valid password), I held an OPTION key while restarting it. So, I managed to start my computer.
However, I realized it ran so slow and behaved strangely. For example; in Safari, every time a hyperlink is clicked; it will go to the reading list, and my Mac will always produce the uppercase letter even though the caps lock is not activated. And software like Photo is not working properly.
When i restart it, it will still behaving as in (1), unless i did as in (2).
No wonder the Safe Boot kept rejecting the password since the lowercase character cannot be activated.
Help and suggestion are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

If your Mac is connected to the Internet but suddenly starts asking for your password, you should generally try again later, and if necessary work with your email provider to resolve. If you're using Apple's iCloud Mail, learn how to resolve issues with iCloud Mail. Apple imac virus.
Why is Mail asking for your password?
![Accept Accept](https://blog.rewatechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/1-4.jpg)
Mail asks for your password when it is connecting to your email provider, but can't connect to your email account because your email provider isn't accepting your email password.
Your email provider may reject your password for several reasons, including: Macbook pro app store.
- You're not using your current email password. If you updated the password on another device, make sure that you're using the same password on your Mac.
- Your email provider needs you to update or reset your password for security reasons. For example, if you're using Google’s two-step verification, your Gmail account in Mail requires the appropriate app-specific password.
- Your email provider deactivated or suspended your account. Contact your email provider for help.
Check your password in Internet Accounts preferences
Depending on the type of email account you're using, you might be able to correct the password as follows:
- Quit Mail. If it doesn't quit, you can force it to quit.
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Internet Accounts.
- Select your mail account in the sidebar.
- If you see a password field for your account, delete the password and type the correct password.
- Close System Preferences, then open Mail and try using your account again.
If Mail still asks for your password, the password is probably incorrect. Your email provider can help you verify your email settings and make sure that you're using the correct password.

Test using webmail
Many email providers offer webmail, which is a way to use email with a web browser such as Safari, instead of with an email app such as Mail. For example, if you're using an iCloud Mail account, you can use iCloud.com to send and receive email.
Because the password that you use with Mail is usually the same password that you use with webmail, try signing in to webmail with that password. If it doesn't work there either, your password is probably incorrect. Your email provider can help you verify your email settings and make sure that you're using the correct password for the Mail app.
Remove your account, then add it back
If no other solutions work, try setting up your email account again. To do that, first remove your email account, then add the account back.
