    I work for a T-Mobile retail location, and have a deep knowledge of how the company works. I may not always...

    you should be able to retrieve your Google info from a computer. the phone itself should still be fine so even if you can't just delete that account and make a new one

    Saving the world from high cellphone bill prices!

    You will need to do a factory reset using hardware buttons to delete the Gmail to make a new one. I just delt with this issue today. If you cant remember the account Password you will have to reset the phone. Even if you reset your password online the phone only knows the old password and turning on and off the phone will not update to the new password. So think hard first. If you still dont rememeber:

    - Turn the power off. If your Samsung Galaxy S is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
    - Hold the Volume Down button
    - Press and release the Power button
    - You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
    - Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
    - Press and release the Power button
    - Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

      although these are pretty universal between same manufacturers...

      Galaxy s 2:

      Turn off the device.
      Press and hold both Volume Up and Volume Down keys at the same time.
      Press the Power key only until the phone vibrates once, then release only the Power key.
      Continue to hold the Volume up and Volume Down keys until the Android System Recovery screen appears.
      Press the Volume Down key to highlight Wipe Factory Data.
      Press the Home key to select.
      Press the Volume Down key to highlight Yes - Delete all user data.
      Press the Home key to select.
      Press the Home key to reboot.
