Was this a previously purchase? iOS6 no longer requires a password for these.
Haven't checked yet, but I believe free apps do not require a password either.

DerbyDad03 said:I called the Verizon store about the Droid issue I am having and talked to the same guy that explained to me how to change the AppleID on the iPad. He was nice to ask if I had solved my iPad issue. I told him about the password issue and he said that he thinks - not 100% sure - that Apple extended the time window for password entry.
In other words, if you've entered a password for something, you'll be able to download more apps within a 15 minute (?) window without needing to reenter the password.
I'll have to play with this when I get home tonight.
The upgrade was done OTA. When I went into the App Store this weekend i got a message that the upgrade to iOS6 was ready to install. When I said OK, it asked me to enter the password. I entered the password for my wife's AppleID.
The iPad has not been connected to the PC for over a month and I've downloaded apps using my wife's AppleID password since then.
It was only after the upgrade, when I tried to download Jasmine to replace YouTube, that it wouldn't accept the password. After it failed 3 times, the iPad popped up a message asking if i wanted the password reset sent to *my* email address, the one I use for iTunes. Once I saw that, I decided to try the password for that email address and it worked.
When I checked the AppleID under settings, it was set to the iTunes email address, not my wife's AppleID.
I don't get it.

He graciously shared his password with me, and I am trying to figure out how to change back to my (much less interesting) iTunes account. I, as well, am flummoxed as to how the heck this happened.
gsouth said:DerbyDad, your solution did not work for me because my Ipad has my correct ID in the settings but when I try and download and update to an App, it wants my wife's Id. ...Weird, it is like half of the Ipad using my ID and the other half uses my wifes ID. When I try and update an app, it still shows my wife's ID, even when I follow your suggested fix.
That is because the apps where bought using your wife's AppleID. That is how Apple manages licenses for the apps you acquire. It is almost the same as when you go to a store and buy a product with a credit card. You bring it home and everyone in the household can use it. But, if you all decide it is not what you need and return it, the store will credit back the credit card you used to purchase it.
