I just thought id post this information so everyone wouldn't have to search for it. Go to settings-applications-manage applications and scroll down to market and clear data then scroll down to google services framework and clear data then reboot you're phone and that's it enjoy. Remember it will take about 10 minutes to be able to use t:mad:he market again.
 
Also solved my download failed 101 issue with android market.

I could not remove my account from the phone, android said it was required when I tried to and that the only way to do it was to restore to factory defaults.

I signed into another account in android market, it was the only way I could think to sign out of android market. Not only did it not work when I signed back into the original account but I recieved the same error while attempting to download from my alternative account.

I was not willing to let it take it's time to sort itself out.

I tried wiping my dalvik in cwm which also did not work for me.

I think that is all the suggestions for it from the $hEvRoN rom thread none of them worked for me but this did. Thanks brother man :)

Try uninstalling market updates and clearing data the way I explained in the first post also if you haven't installed my rom or another custom rom you might need to because after I installed my rom and did what I explained in the first post I didn't have any problems. I just updated 12 apps and my phone has been running for about 2 weeks without problems.

Thank you sooooo much, not only do I no longer get that google talk verification error, but it fixed so many minor errors.
Updates work all the time rather than when they feel like it. Mail pushes to my phone as soon as I get the e-mail in my e-mail box rather than sporadically. The Market app no longer has any odd errors downloading new apps.

After this I decided to try out this same method on my SMS app since my MMS wasn't working properly (not at all, no sending, no receiving). So I forced the app closed, cleared the data, restarted, and sent a test picture; and for the first time in a month I could send picture messeges again!

Thanks a ton for helping me, a bunch of other people, and many still to come.

This is what works best for me Go to Settings->Applications->Manage->Running - Click Market - Then Clear Cache (NOT CLEAR DATA!!!!) - Then Force Stop - Click Google Services Framework - Click Clear Data - Click Force Stop

Then reboot your phone.

If for some odd reason this still doesn't fix it what you can do is remove you current google account by using root explorer and going to /data/system and rename accounts.db to accounts.db.bak, this will remove you current google account. simply reboot the phone after doing this and add your google account again upon opening up the market app.

My phone was working fine with my Google Apps Domain account but then I had to change my Google password on my PC. A little while later, I get a Google Talk Authentication Failed notification message. When I click on it, I get a Retry or a Cancel option. Neither of which allows me to enter the new password. I have tried the steps above but still exactly the same issue. I can't believe there is no way to change the password on the primary Google Account.

I ran into the same issue a while back when I attempted to enable the 2-step verification feature. I thought it was the 2-step verification feature that was broken but it now appears like it's the inability to change the primary password on the Google Account on the phone.

It is so annoying as the only way that I was able to fix it was to do a hard reset and enter the correct password during the setup of the phone.

Surely there must be another way to do it?

I have an android tablet and I keep getting the "google talk authentication failed" message along with "download unsuccessful" when trying to install apps from the app market and the android market. I began to follow instructions to delete data but when i click on delete data in the market in the application info a pop up comes up and says "all of this application's data will be deleted permanently. this includes all files, settings, accounts, databases and so on." what exactly does this mean? i don't want to mess anything up by clicking ok rather than cancel.
