You have to be typing something wrong, cause that don't make sense....

And don't let people play with your DROID!!!!

1) create a new gmail account on the computer.
2) call your cell phone with a different phone.
3) answer your cell phone then hit the back button and it will take you to the home
screen.
4) turn on wifi so it can do data and voice at the same time (remember that the phone
is still connected)
5) go to Settings -> Location & Security and disable lock pattern (you'll need to
enter to correct pattern previously set)
6) go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync and click "Add Account" and add your newly
created Gmail account.
7) hang up the phone.
8) turn the phone back on, at the lockout screen, enter your new Gmail account info
and it should let you back in
9) once the phone is unlocked, you can go in setting and remove the newly added Gmail
account and keep the old one.

There you go!

Sorry didnt see that, thanks!

This solution does not work for me at all. What happened with mine was my office installed an Exchange Active Sync email account on my phone - after that, it kept locking the phone and prompting for a password. It didn't want my Google account password, but the Exchange email password. Of course, now it wants that every time I try to get into my phone. I think I will have to delete the Exchange email account... hopefully then it will stop asking.
