1)goto your home screen
2)settings
3)applications
4)manage applications
5) gmail and gmail storage
6) clear data on both
7) turn off phone all the way and restart


now goto market and it will ask you to put in your gmail info...just put in the new gmail account you created....now your contacts will be gone, but if you go to your gmail account on a pc and click on contacts you should see export. Click on this and it will ask you to select a program to save it to. Then sign out and then sign in to your new account. Click on contacts on new gmail account and then contacts and then import. Contacts are switched. Goto your phone and dialer and contacts should be there. If not give it about 5-10 seconds.

I did these things and when I restart and open market it doesnt ask me to login. Any ideas why or what I might be doing wrong???

There was another post on this same issue and it seems that market logs in according to the account used when the phone is first set up. Although you sync settings are for the account added after the fact the market is still logging in to the original account. The only way i know to reset this is to do a factory reset. Menu>settings>Privacy settings
