GTalk beeps, can't update password

[mszaller]

Help please. Google Talk beeps loudly through the night because verification fails. It is turned off in settings-applications. Cached cleared and rebooted several times too. I changed my gmail password at a PC. My Thunderbolt gmail won't let me input a new one. VZW tech support said to delete and reinstall the account. Even though it is not my primary account (had to create a junk account when I got the phone), it won't delete without resetting the phone to factory defaults. what can I do?
