Robin forgot her pass word on the gmail account in her
Asus android tablet and now she cannot get in to her email.

She also has gmail on her mac but that was easy to fix
by going on to the gmail web site. The same approach did
not work on the tablet with the same new password did not
work on the tablet.

Any ideas on what could be wrong.

I use earthlink and have several computers with the same email pass word.

Since Linux is underneath android and I can access the command
line where in android is this password stored?
Send me private email if necessary.

I also notice that I do not have root privileges so apparently
the same pass word is used for that.

If I type sudo it does not give the option of entering
a password. In Ubuntu Linux it ask for a password and you put
in the log in password. So how do you get root privileges do do
programming?

Robin did not have to enter a password other than
for the gmail account when she first got it.

This site talks about it but does not solve the problem for me.
