THIS. I mean i don't see the big deal really if you just have to enter your gmail name and pass. Unless it's stolen or something.

the reason why i asked to do without gmail account is becuase i dont have a data plan.. n for gmail account u needa data plan...

if you got your wifi running it could work throught there if im not mistaken...

what about doing a wipe?

OK, i have done this myself
Yes you need to enter in your gmail username and password but you dont need to be connected to the internet.
The phone must have a cached copy of your credentials on the phone.
get it wrong about 5 times and then enter your username and password

cant change or delete hotmail account

]seems my hotmail account doesnt want to delete or allow me to chance email addresses. when i try to delete it gives the a grayed out delete box. every other email account can be deleted with this same box which is not grayed out. anyone familiar with this or have a way i can delete and then recreate my account?

thanks for that very helpful response. ill be sure to return the favor.
UPDATE:
i figured it out. you have to use the live update icon and go into the "switch accounts" prompt. then simply click through without actually creating an account and it will delete the current account.
i cant believe how backwards this is but thats how to do it.
best,
jason

LIVE account blocked today

So, I've been using WP7 on my HD2 for a couple of weeks now and it's been activated for live services by the registery edit/unlocking/call Microsoft method.
Today it says that my account is blocked for some reason, tried to reset the password but it's still blocked so it seems that Microsoft are taking some kind of stand here. Or it could just be something else.. but considering that I only made that live-account for this purpose I would suppose it has something to do with the cheating on the account and activation. Live services aren't even available in my country
This is the message I get when I'm trying to log into my account:
Sign-in is blocked
Sign-in with (accountname) is blocked for one of these reasons:
Someone entered the wrong password too many times.
If you signed up for this ID through an organization, you might not be able to use the account yet.
Can anyone who has experienced the same issue reply to this thread and tell us about it?

your live mail account is registered to which specific country?

It's registered to the US to get marketplace working, do you think that's why they blocked it?

I'm fairly certain this is the reason unfortunately.

create a new live id at home and try again. make sure you put a very simple password and in your phone sign in to your new live id without a password error.

i'm guessing someone try to get your live id? lol

I think resetting the password would solve that problem

If that's the problem I wouldn't care to try that, because then I'm stuck without marketplace anyways!

Someone might have attempted to access your account. Try to reset your password!

Thank you so much!

Hopefully your phone will be somewhere with phone signal.

Hi, I wonder the Plan B will still work if the phone got formatted/hard reset to factory setting or simcard been removed?

You can remotely install apps onto your phone by signing into play.google.com with your Google account, selecting an app to install, and then selecting a device. If you are logged into your Google account on a phone, that phone will be listed as one of your devices. The app is then installed onto your phone, regardless of whether or not you have your phone on-hand at that time. This is how the app 'Plan B' works.
So to summarize: yes, you still need to be logged into your Google account on the device.
