Why Is My Password Invalid?

I tried to login to my email and got a message, "invalid password."  The password that I signed in with was the last one that I had created, which had been working. What happened?

It could be as simple as you turned on CAPS LOCK and possibly they didnt accept the password because it doesnt match. If it still doesnt work, try to reset it again by click "Forgot Password" and answer either security question or sending your new password to an alternate email address. 

Please be careful, dear :-)
