I understand that you're being prompted for the password to an IMAP email account on your iPhone and you don't remember the password. I know it's important to be able to use your email accounts on your iPhone; I'd like to help. The password that you're being prompted for should be the same password you use to access the email account in question. If you've forgotten the password for the email account, you'll want to get in touch with your email provider for steps to reset it. If you do remember the password for your email account, I'd recommend using the steps below to verify that the settings for your account are set correctly:

If you've forgotten the password for the email account, you'll want to get in touch with your email provider for steps to reset it. If you do remember the password for your email account, I'd recommend using the steps below to verify that the settings for your account are set correctly: Check your email address and
password If Mail asks you to enter a password for your email account, make sure that your password is correct. To check your email address and password, sign in to your email provider's website. If you still get a username or password error, contact your email provider or system administrator. Check your settings When you set up your email account on your device, iOS automatically uses the correct account settings for many email providers. To make sure that your
account settings are correct, compare the settings in the Mail app to the settings for your email account: If you have a POP3 email account, then you can only check email on one device at a time. Close other email programs and sign out of webmail sites that you have open. To check if your email is a POP3 account, go to Settings > Passwords &
Accounts, tap your account, tap Account, then look for the label POP Account Information. You can also check the recommended email settings for your POP3 email account in the Mail Settings Lookup tool. If your email provider requires your account to use port 25, then you can only send email when you’re connected to your email provider’s network. Check with your email provider for settings and availability. If you still need help Contact your email provider. You can also remove your email account, then set it up again. Contact your email provider or system administrator
Remove your email account and set it up again

User profile for user: jocelyn269 Question: my phone has forgotten the imap password and so have I. what do I do? Is IMAP password the same as email password?Your IMAP password is the password to an email account that is configured to use IMAP. If you have forgotten it you can reset it using whatever method your email provider offers for resetting it. Some email providers (e.g., gmail, yahoo and Microsoft) also offer 2 factor authentication to better protect your account.
How do I reset my incoming mail server password?Step 1: Open up the Settings application. Step 2: Find the Accounts or Sync section. Step 3: Select the “IMAP” or Personal (IMAP) or “Email” account. Step 4: Select “Account settings.” Page 2 Step 5: Select your IMAP account Step 6: Select “Incoming settings.” Page 3 Step 7: Update the password and select Done.
Where do you find incoming mail server?In Outlook, click File. Then click Account Settings > Account Settings. In the Email tab, double-click the account that is the old email. Below Server Information, you can find your incoming mail server (IMAP) and outgoing mail server (SMTP) names.
