I flashed my phone doing a full back up first and have forgot my account user name for the android market. I have tried sending an email to my secondary email account but it doesn't seem to be the correct user name as i made a lot of purchases from the market.. If i do a restore of my backed up rom will i be able to recover the user name and all apps? or can i just restore the data.img to my current rom?
Thanks for the help, regards Wez
EDIT://
Flashed backup rom and found market account details there
i own a rooted epic 4g and my primary gmail account password got changed. now ive lost access to the android marketplace.
i looked around online and the only solution ive seen is to 'factory data reset'. i dont want to reset my phone, though. ive also tried going to my sync list and deleting my primary gmail but it wont let me.
does anyone know of an easier solution? if not, i suppose ill just do a nand backup, reset my phone, and then nand restore everything. or will that not even work?
please help!

Add a second account through Accounts & Sync, then delete the first account.
Or, when you restore (I'm assuming through Titanium Backup), don't restore system apps/data, just user apps.
Couldn't you just reset your Gmail password? Then, open the Gmail app - it should ask you for your password - and input your new password.

i did add the second account but when i go to delete my original email account, it says i cant delete it.
no, ive always used just the basic nand backup and restore. and i cant access the app store to download titanium because i need an functioning email account to do it.
yes, i tried to restore my password but apparently i didnt provide enough accurate information. i could only answer a select few questions i actually knew.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Find junk with Google in its name, click on it, choose clear data. Wash, rinse, repeat until done.
Here's a link to Titanium Backup from my Dropbox: http://db.tt/K2lwLwm
Download & install it. Then, backup all user apps and data. If you've already done a nandroid backup, just do a factory reset or go into recovery and wipe & flash a new rom.
When the rom boots, put in your other Gmail account that you know the password for and that'll be your new primary Gmail account. You can then restore your apps with Titanium Backup.

just curious, will this delete all my numbers? i should write them all down just in case, though.

if your numbers are backed up and visible in your gmail contacts, you should be fine.
I have 2 google accounts and i use the one on my android... I have rooted it a couple of weeks now and it all went good. I changed my primary account's password on my pc but when i try to login on my android it says incorrect password... My other account stoped working too, without doing anything to it... I recovered my password to both of my accounts and on the pc they work fine... BUT! when i try to log in on my android with the SAME pass and username they just dont work...I wiped the data and started again but still it doesnt accept the password from both accounts...
What can i do guys? If anyone know anything or has the same problem please reply...
I think you'll need to re-flash the stock ROM.....I highly recommend you to use XXJPS
Remove accounts ...
Restart the Phone and Then through titanium backup pro wipe data for account and sync!
Restart and Create new accounts
You should be able to Log In !

I have accidentally deleted my Mi Account via computter without log out from my device. Now my telephone is screen which is saying "Sign-in error for xxx...". But I can not able to reset password as the account is deleted.
In the meantime, I made a new account ID xxx... with the same email adress on the second space phone and everything works fine, but please help me to completely wipe my old phone ID account , that the phone no longer asks for it and I start to use the new account that works.
Please tell me friends, is it enough just to fix the phone to the factory settings or I need to flash rom ?
Factory reset.
There must be another way.
What is this MI account for ?
