I suggest that you try logging out of your iTunes account in iTunes on your computer and then log back in, before you connect your iPhone 4S. Hopefully that would show up an issues in iTunes first.
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

Are you 'restoring' the new phone from the last back up of your old phone? That should just transfer everything that was on the old phone on to your new one. I usually then re-name the new phone thus retaining the back up of the old one just in case something goes wrong in the first couple of days.

Yep i backed old phone up and trying to restore and it asks for password and i enter it, Then it says i need to reset the password which i do and then enter the new 1 and same problem.

I am not sure which part of the process is giving you the error, but I will outline the steps that you need to do to transfer Apps and Music from one iPhone to another.
Firstly on your old iPhone, go to settings => iTunes & App Stores, and make sure that the Apple ID shown is the same one as the Apple ID that is logged in on your computer in iTunes (you can check that under the iTunes Store menu option). If it isn't, then you will need to sign in with the same account that you use on your old iPhone.
Then you should be able to connect your old iPhone to your computer and in iTunes, do a right click on your old iPhone and select transfer purchases. After you have done that then do another right click and your old iPhone in iTunes and do a backup.
Now you should be able to connect your new iPhone 5 to the computer and set it up using the backup you created from your old iPhone.
This is the basic outline of steps that you need to do, but if you still are having trouble, then please can you explain in more detail exactly what you have done so I can understand where you are stuck.

Ok my original post is a bit out of date in this thread.
Just a couple of questions so I can understand your setup.
1. Is you iTunes Apple ID the same as your iCloud Apple ID ?
2. Do you have a security password on your iPhone ?
3. When you say it asks you for a password, is this in the setup process or afterwards when you try and log into iCloud or iTunes on the new iPhone ?
