Is there any way to do an account reset on Android without hard resetting the phone?
I changed my google account password through the web browser and now the phone obviously does not sync with the account - it shows an error that reads Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
The problem is I don't see any options to enter a new password anywhere. Deleting account does not work as well - apparently some other applications are using this account and won't let me delete it.
Some other topics suggested clearing data for Google Apps - but I don't see that app installed either.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Unless something has changed on the 3vo the only way to remove a Gmail acct is to reset it. Have you tried to go to your Gmail app and see if it asks for the new pw? I know the Facebook app does it.

Couldn't you go to settings> accounts and sync> gmail and then remove account....then add the account with your new password?
Nope just tried it. Doesn't work with the original gmail acct that was setup on the device.

So I take it you can't use the setup wizard. When I get a random reboot, it will show up like I just did a factory reset.

It should eventually ask for the password after a couple if fails. I don't remember but I know I had this problem on my droid incredible. I had changed my password then I nand restore back to a date before the password change and I kept getting sync errors, just kept going at it and it finally asked to reverify the account password.

I'm having a problem with the Twitter for Android app...
When I open the app it asks me to login or sign up, but when I try to login it just tells me that the account has already been registered (it had been working fine until a couple of weeks ago). Uninstalling and re-installing the app temporarily gets rid of the problem, but it keeps coming back.

Hey all, I have stock,non-rooted,locked, OTA'd rezound.
I've tried everything in the general forums for this problem, so now I'll come here and ask to see if anyone has any other possible solutions.
I've done multiple factory resets today, and tried several different methods of re-adding my google account (which is a google apps for your domain account) so it's not @gmail.com but @mydomain.com
Everything works great, sync, gmail app, gtalk, youtube.. you name it. Great. Even the market place, for downloading 'free' apps.
As soon as I try and download an app I have to pay for I get a little window that pops up that says "Google sign-in You entered the wrong password or your account has changed. Please re-enter your password. Username [email protected]" and then just fails to accept my actual password. (i've tried changing my password a few times too!)
Here's everything I've tried:
1. Clearing the Market App Data and Cache.
2. FactoryReset: try and use the old market app before it gets updated.
3. Youtube account issue: disabled the youtube service on my google app domain, and factory reset- and tried again... no dice.
4. Tried putting on a real @gmail.com domain, and that works just fine. try and switch to @mydomain and it fails again.
I've done a factory-reset before every different style of attempt. I'm guessing something else is going on :-\
When I logon to the market through the web, I can purchase apps and they install without a problem! So it's something to do with the market app.
Anyway, just looking for any other ideas I may have overlooked. You're a pretty thorough community so I think I can trust you all would have something for me to try!
Before my factory-reset, everything worked fine with my google apps domain account.
TL;DR: My google apps domain account I normally use won't let me purchase apps on the marketplace anymore, it says the password has changed but all other google services work just fine!
I remember reading something way back when I first got the phone in late November about people having issues with the Market app. I never had an issue so I didn't pay much attention to it but you should be able to find a thread about it from back then.
Something about using a different apk? Or maybe deleting the app and redownloading it?
Sorry I don't have the actual answer but I thought I could at least point you in the right direction until someone else does.
EDIT: This may not be the same issue but one of the solutions that suggests to clear cache may help you. Can't hurt to try it out.

Are you using Google Two-Step login verification?
Did you accidentally leave yourself logged in to another computer, like at work, where somebody else might have gained access to your account?

Great questions:
No I've turned 2-step verification off.... what if I turn it on, and try and get a different password out of it? I'll give it a go.
Account is definitely not compromised. good to go here.
Break Through Achieved...
My Google Wallet account has been suspended, because when I changed my password I used the google domains administrator panel, and not my google account 'change password'. this made google think the administrator changed the password because the account was compromised.
google wallet has a lengthy but acceptable process for regaining access to your account.
I'll go update all the general forums with this if it works... thanks for all your patience.
Also, google.com/wallet shows a good explination of why all other apps work fine, and not purchases...
Google Wallet Account Reinstatement
Your Google Wallet account is currently suspended. The account was suspended as a precautionary measure to protect your payment information because Google detected that an administrator at your organization initiated a password reset for your email address. However, this suspension only affects your access to Google Wallet, and you should still have access to your other Google Apps services such as Gmail, Calendar, and Sites.
If you would like to reinstate Google Wallet on your Google Apps account, please contact us. You will be required to verify your identity to reinstate your Wallet account.
You may also wish to sign up for a new Google Wallet account using a personal e-mail address, rather than your Google Apps account. Creating a new Wallet account using a personal email address will reduce future suspensions of your Google Wallet account for password changes. If you don't have an alternative email address, you can create a new email address with Gmail for free.

I'm having the same problem (using google apps account, admin reset password, no purchasing market apps etc etc)
When I log in to google wallet, I see the message you posted above, with a link to click to contact google. However, this link just redirects endlessly to the same message.
Can you remember how you managed to get in contact with google to have the suspension lifted?
Thanks
Sul
Here's the link to the account reinstatement application form:

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. I just emailed Google wallet help support telling them the problem and by the next day I got a reply saying something like "we can now confirm that your Google wallet is now working and able to make purchases" Sure enough they fixed it and haven't had a problem since.

Where did you even email them? It's like an endless loop on their help center where you can't get to an actual contact form, just has to match one of their issues. I swear while I like a lot of google services, their support leaves very little to be desired.
Hey, I have recently installed Facebook Application for my Tablet PC. It is working on 2.2.2 Anroid version and Facebook app version is 2.3
When I enter my info it says that Login failed and that the operation timed out (after I hit the Login button, the error appears after cca. 15 seconds).
I am using pretty good Wi-Fi connection to connect my Tablet to the internet, so I don't think that it's up to my connection. I tried already with clearing data, uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling, but it didn't work.
Any solution?
Thanks in advance!
More info : I cannot open Facebook in my browser either. I can open the main page, but when I login, it won't completely load the website.
Goto app settings and clear data.
It could be a bug you might want to wait for an update.

I did it, didn't fix anything.
I figured out it might be because I cannot open m.facebook.com website on the browser, while I can open mbasic.facebook.com
Weird.
I'm not sure why but this never happened to me before on any android device. The problem is whenever i try to login using fb or maybe bind my apps with fb it just opens the fb login page. Then when i enter my credentials the page just loads and nothing hapapens
