Sync error on Samsung Galaxy 2 tab

[Caroline]

I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet. Whilst setting it up following the on screen instructions, half way through setting up the "Samsung account" it hung and I did not get the verification email necessary to continue. Now, in settings, if I click on Samsung account I have the message "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will return shortly". No matter how many times I try to "Sync now" I get the same error message repeated. Help. How do I get the account to sync?????

My recomendation is to force the Samsung account to reinitialize. Unfortunately, the only way I know to run the setup again is to factory reset your device, which means you'll lose your data.
