enter the password for the exchange account - but I don't have one!

Since I upgraded to iOS4, when I switch my iPhone on, there's a pop-up;

enter the password for the exchange account

But, I do not use exchange - how do I stop this message?

Thanks.

This was driving me crazy then i figured it out.
Scroll down on the pop up and it's asking you for the exchange account password for a specific email "bob.smith@gmail.com" or whatever. The password it is asking you for is the password for that account.
I don't even really understand exchange b/c i thought it was a PC thing. reguardless that's the name of the thingy that syncs your emails .. or something..

just in case you can't remember your password for the said email account.. for mac users at least, you can search keychain access using the spotlight feature. (control-spacebar). then once you are in keychain access , scroll down or search the email account , then double click on it,. then click on the box that says "show password". it will usually ask for you computer's password (which is the one you use to open any new application on your computer)

cheers hope it helps
