How to restore deleted CradDAV Contact

I had a problem that when I use or update Contacts, I receive two error messages: Password Incorrect, Enter the password for the CardDAV account "Contacts" .


To stop annoys i deleted CardDAv Contact from the Account list in Contacts Menu.


However, with deleting many of my contacts also disappeared.


i tried everything listing in forums solutions

  • adding google account and etc.


Please advice how to fix the problem and get lost contacts back to the list.

Thanks.

Hello bfarhod,


It sounds like you are hoping to add your CardDAV account back to your phone, is that right? CardDAV is a protocol that allows contacts syncing. Do you know which email accounts you use for syncing contacts? You can make sure that all your email account and password information is correct by going to Settings > Mail > Accounts.


Other than your regular email accounts, do you also have any work accounts on your device? If so, also confirm that the login information is correct. This article will give you more information:


Use other contact accounts on iPhone - Apple Support


"Set up an LDAP or CardDAV account to access business or school directories

  1. Go to Settings  > Contacts > Accounts > Add Account, then tap Other.
  2. Tap Add LDAP Account or Add CardDAV Account, then enter the account information."


Regards.
