Removing an account
You can remove an account to delete it and all information associated with it from
your phone, for example messages, contacts, or settings. Removing an account does
not delete information from the online service itself.
You cannot remove some accounts, such as the first Google Account you signed into on the
phone, except by deleting all personal information from your phone with a hard reset. For
instructions on doing this, see “Restarting or factory resetting your phone” in the Update and
reset chapter.
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Accounts & sync.
Tap the account that you want to remove.
Tap Remove account, and then confirm that you want to remove the account.
Forgot your Google Account password?
You need your Google Account password to sync Google Mail (Gmail), Calendar, and
Google contacts to your phone. You also need this password to use Google Talk and
download apps from Android Market.
If you have forgotten your Google Account password, you can try to recover it by
going to the Google website.
On your phone or computer, open your web browser and go to
https://www.google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd.
Enter the email address or username that you use to sign in to your Google
Account.

An email will be sent to the alternate email address you provided when you created
your Google Account. Follow the instructions in the email to reset your password.
If you don’t have an alternate email address or cannot access the email account you
used to create your Google Account, you can reset your Google Account after 24
hours by answering the security question for password recovery.
