2 things. Firstly, it isn't your apple ID password but rather your mac system password so unless their the same, make sure you put in the right one. Secondly, There is a way to lock the remote to specific devices. You can lock it to the apple tv instead of turning off remote functionality on the mac. Personally, I like to be able to use the remote on the mac at times.
I don't remember the 2 button command on the remote but google it and it should show up. From memory David Woodbridge did a podcast on or at least including this information. Sorry I can't be more specific.
