no matter which account i use, and how many times i input my correct password, it does not sign in for windows live/messenger. it says that either my user name or password is wrong. I've synced it before, but i got rid of my account on it. After this, it stopped working. I even hard reset it
how would this be fixed ? ....
Generally I change my passwords annually, but I'm wondering how this would affect the sync on my phone. Does this automatically "update" on your phone; i.e. do I even need to change anything on my phone to keep the sync going (along with the paid apps).
I'm probably over-worried about it, but i would like to change my PW but would hate to have to wipe my phone to do it.
Has anyone changed their Gmail password since setting up an Android phone?
If you change your Gmail account password your phone will eventually popup with a sync error message. You'll then be prompted to enter your new password at this point to sync. So, a wipe is not required.

I have exactly the same issue. Amazingly, It looks like google didn't implemented a easy feature to this scenario.
For several forums I searched in, I only could find that if I wait an unspecific number of days, eventually!, it will pop up a window to insert a password! Completely unacceptable. I'm very frustrated with this.

How about just remove and re-add gmail in "accounts & sync".

You can't remove your primary google account.
But, if you change your password, within an hour it should popup asking for your new one. It's relatively easy; I've done it a half-dozen times.
If it's rooted then I think wipe cache or davlik resets account.

If you try to log back into the Android market, it asks you for the new password, and resets this across your phone.
I'm on HTC desire.
I had the same issue with the endless Captcha. There is a solution though.
Go to www .google .com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha on a PC or a web-browser and unlock the Captcha for your account. You will then be able to login again with username and password on your device.
Hope this helps

How do I remove a gmail account?
I'd be interested in this to. I rooted an NC using my gmail account...but now I'd like to remove that one and just use a different one.
I have successfully added that other gmail, so how do I remove the original?
Thanks!
Go into the settings/accounts menu in Gmail. Create another account (it can even be a duplicate of this account if you like). Once this is done a long press down on the other account will give you the option to remove it.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Didn't work for me. I created another account, so now 2 are listed. Tapping the menu button at the bottom, I get a 2 rows of 3 options (Refresh, Compose, Accounts, View labels, Search, Settings).
I tap "Accounts" and the screen displays the 2 accounts that are now on the NC, with an option to "Add account" down at the bottom. If I press the Menu button here, that bottom tab changes to "Account Settings" but when I press that, the NC appears to do a soft reset.
Am I missing something? Or should I restore and root again?
Thanks!
I get the same thing here.
I have two GMail accounts listed and cannot remove either.
If I press and hold on an account on the "Add Accounts" page, nothing happens. Actually, no matter how long I "hold", when I release, I end up going to the inbox for the selected account.
Further, just like madman390, if I press the Menu button and bring up the bar that only has "Account Settings", if I select "Account Settings", my NC does a reboot of sorts (it doesn't crash back to the home screen and it doesn't go all the way back to a power-up screen, it goes to the "Nook Color" animation part of start-up).
I have the same issues as everyone here. I am giving the nook as a gift to someone else and i need to remove the accounts i used to get the market working. Could someone figure this out? Thx

Ok so I did a little messing around in the /data/ folder and I found the way to do it. You should leave one Gmail account at the end so you don't screw up the market. What you do is go into /data/system/ and edit accounts.db with an editor of your choice. You can even do it straight on the device through root explorer and the sqlite editor it requires. Open the file and delete the accounts you want to delete and then close it. I did a reboot after and the accounts disappeared from Gmail and YouTube and Gtalk. Gtalk now won't launch if you deleted the main account so you need to go into youtube, sign in again, then re-add the account in gmail and possibly Gtalk if it asks again. I had to do that a couple of times to get it to work, but now everything works. I also updated to the new market after thanks to another post

Well, I tried to follow your suggestion and it screwed up my NC where it would loop on the NOOK COLOR boot screen (Autonooter'd). I had to do the 8 reboots to get back to a useable state.

Thats interesting it worked for me without any trouble. The only problem that resulted that I see now is that it did remove all accounts and the everything worked again, but the market now refuses to download anything. I'm sorry it messed your nook up, maybe it only works if you used an older version of autonooter. Does anyone know how to make the market start downloads instead of be eternally stuck on "Starting download"? It is possible that you might need to look around your /data/ folder for xml files and more databases and change everything to the email you would like to use as a main email or maybe you just edited your db file incorrectly.
I always wonder about these posts, and if they are the people selling rooted nooks on ebay, for a profit. There seems to be more and more people selling them on there these days.
any update on this? I'd like to backup a ROM and replicate my setup, do a basic root to a friends nook, then restore with my backup, then setup his gmail. Kinda strange we are bound to the whole thing by an email address..
If not.. then people making ROMs could maybe make like: 1.1FW/1.1OC/Zeam/Gaaps/ROM manager/Astro/Titanium/NC Tools/XDA. you know.. all the stuff we are going to do anyway.ROMs
ops. double post.

Has anyone found a solution to this...an easy one?
i have four different email accounts set up within my gmail app. i want to delete one of them. i cant find where i do that though. when i am in the app i try to tap on account settings but the whole thing force restarts on me.
From the home screen go to setting->Accounts and sync. The select the google account you want to remove and there should be an option to remove it.
i guess i should clarify that i have stock 1.1 and autonootered. i cant go into the account settings. when i try to the nook restarts. like the whole thing freezes and then flashes the android boot screen and restarts. i cant go into the account settings.
I have the same problem, I need to unlink completely my nook to the google account, because I will lend it to my father for a period, and I don't want to uninstall everything.
if you are just going to lend it, equip it with a bootable SD with ROM of choice that way Dad has his own email in it until you get it back and just pop out hte SD

Hi All, Please if anyone else has problems adding an email account using the MS Exchange option in the stock Email app can you share a solution. I get prompted to add an Administrator access before the app searches for the server and it then always fails. The admin never shows up in settings security. I tried this for 3 Exchange servers, same issue.
Thanks...

I had the same problem, found it is due to it doesn`t prompt to set password. Go to setting and set the phone password before setup exchange account, then it will Work.

May be I have the same problem. If I want to setup an exchange account in Stock-Mail-App, there should be a dialog, in which I have to accept the creation of a "device admin" (i´m german, I hope thats the correct translation). But this dialog never appears anymore. At first time, the dialog was there and I could create my account. But later on, there is no entry visible in "Device Admins" for Stock-Mail and after a Restore of a Nandroid-Backup, I couldn´t create the exchange Account anymore, cause the dialog doesn´t appear.
So, may be ur solution could help me. But what do u mean with "phone password", where to set. Did u mean lock screen password or what else? Please give advice, where to set "phone password". Thanks in advance!
Yes, I mean the lock screen password.
On Samsung S2, after aceept the security setting of the Exchange server, it prompt to set the lock screen password, but doesn't seems to be happen on LG, so I go and set it manually and it works.

Besides, swipe or pattern may not work, need to be pin or password.
