Help The gmail password does not work

[paul lamar]

Robin forgot her pass word on the gmail account in her
Asus android tablet and now she cannot get in to her email.

She also has gmail on her mac but that was easy to fix
by going on to the gmail web site. The same approach did
not work on the tablet and with the same new password, did not
work on the tablet.

Any ideas on what could be wrong.

I use earthlink and have several computers with the same email pass word.

try uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it

Which ap? The email account is not an ap. Apparently it acts as the pass word
to the shopping. Is shopping what you want me to delete and reload.
I did not think that was an ap. I thought that was part of Honeycomb 3.2.

We solved the problem sort of.
Robin entered an entirely new gmail account with a different name.
Obviously a bug in android. Hopefully it will be fixed when Android
4 comes out.

I will not buy an Asus EeePad Transformer Prime because it does not
have the the USB ports on the main unit. Only on the keyboard.

Btw the current Asus USB cable only works with a Windows PC for some
strange reason and not with a Linux machine. That is very strange.
Hopefully that too will be fixed in Android 4. If not I may be forced
to buy a I-pad to run WingX.

Yesterday, my gmail account was hacked into and I changed the password. I can easily access gmail through my home computer. However, as soon as I tried to access it on my Droid X the phone said the username & password did not match. It then had me go thru captcha screens which did not work. I repeated this process about 30 times.



Verizon had me pull the battery. Same problem, no solution. Verizon then had me reset the phone. Same problem. Now it tells me

in atrixforums "nesd" gave a good reply "Problem solved. Apparently, mobile Gmail isn't compatible with 2-step verification yet, so you have to generate a specific mobile password which you can do in your account settings."
