Thanks for your response. I would like to know the exact model of your Samsung device.

And when you said you want to go back to original settings do you mean you want to restore the device to factory state and setup the tulsaz account?

Model GT-P5113 android The email acct won't accept my password and does not provide a way to reset without the original which we do not have. I would like to completely wipe out the old email and reset

Can you please try to login to your email address (tulsaz) using your browser on your computer and check if it will accept your password?

Thanks

Customer

Dont delete the gmail account. I need you to use the Mail Application.

Go to Applications then Mail

This is the screen of Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Tap the Application button at the top right part of the screen to show the list of icon.

If we will restore to factory state everything will be wiped out on your tablet.

Posted
Customer

If you will setup you att email it will be the default if you have only 1 email setup on the email app.

Can you please make sure that you are typing the right information?The password is case sensitive.

Posted
Customer

i am absolutely certain it is the same as on the desktop and laptop. Every time it says Setup could not finish;;;;;incorrect user name or password edit details are you allowed to call me so we can work this through

I understand. Can we try to use again the Maill App? Try to add a new account on the option to choose a mail provider select yahoo mail.

Check if you will have the same error.
