How do I change my Google Password

[john1park]

Hi Everybody,

OK. Being a good student of technology, I changed my Google account password from my computer. My phone, of course, still has the old one. Where do I go on my TB to input the new one? I can't add a 2nd account with the same name at Settings / Accounts & sync / Google / Add account. If I delete the account it tells me it will remove all messages, etc.and resets to factory defaults. Is there any other less drastic way to do this?

Thanks

Go into the GMail app, click on Menu, then Refresh and it should get a sync error and prompt you to re-enter your password.

Thanks, I looked there as well but no love. I did, however, cycle the phone off and on and then got an account alert that requested the proper password which solved my problem. Still seems like there should be some other way to do it but, whatever.

Every time I've changed my Google passwords it pops up almost immediately and says sign in error and lets me enter the new password.
