i think you'll have to factory reset the phone unless you can remember the gmail password (which someone really should know).

well, you're out of options though. even if you change your gmail password on the website, i dont think it will sync so it will still look for your old one but its worth a shot.

Tell your dad to try Google's password recovery. If he set up a password hint ot an alternate email, he can get it that way. Otherwise your living in reset city.
