@iphoneman10000 if you are being asked for a pass word for the android market that should be referring to the gmail account that you set up as the primary gmail account to sync apps calendar and contacts.

@misterharr1 this will not unistall cyanogenmod. You will need to boot into recovery using clockwork recovery and restore another backup you've made or look for steps to indoor your phone on different forums to go back to stock software for your phone.

@goodboyzband doing a factory data reset as shown in the video is also called a hard reset. There is also a way to do it manually with the phone and may be what you're referring to but both are called a hard reset. A soft reset is a battery pull.

@jmbonettv I found a way using the emergency call button the going back and swiping the screen till it took me to the home screen. It does work. may take a few times but will work. if all else fails just look for videos on here.

Hi I got my Droid x2 a little bit ago and after having signed into my YouTube account a day it so after getting it its been almost 2 weeks and now whenever I try and go into the android market it keeps asking me to put in the correct password for my YouTube account but then it keeps saying the same thing over, and over again. This is driving me crazy this is one of the reason I can't stand android when its time for me to upgrade I'm going for the iphone I don't care if the android gets better
