Default Using the Android emulator

I had the SDK installed and everything was peachy but then I did a clean install of my OS.

I have reinstalled the SDK, downloaded the java ADT program, installed it, updated it, pointed it to my SDK folder, etc...

I need to use adb through the emulator as I am locked out of my handset and trying to use it to uninstall an app. (Lock 2.0 was updated, starts by itself and just gets stuck in a random cycle that will never allow you to get to the home screen... as a matter of fact home doesn't even load.)

Back OT... when I click the emulator or adb I just get the black box that flashes a bunch of command line real quick. Nothing will actually launch or open.

If you guys have any step by steps, know what I am doing wrong, or know how to get this POS uninstalled from my phone another way, I would REALLY appreciate some help. Thanks.
