eclipse - android emulator in ADT plugin not running

Question

I'm using Eclipse ADT plugin for android development. I came across some problems and I remove all my existing emulators and create a new one. when I run an android project and start the emulator, it just pop up and freezes with a black screen even before it start Android os.

and the progress tab shows,No operations to display at this time. and the logcat displaying I/ServiceManager(270): Waiting for service SurfaceFlinger... over and over again. And the console shows

[2013-12-02 14:54:03 - Emulator] emulator: warning: opening audio input failed
[2013-12-02 14:54:03 - Emulator] 
[2013-12-02 14:54:04 - AndroidV4Virtusel] New emulator found: emulator-5554
[2013-12-02 14:54:04 - AndroidV4Virtusel] Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched...

But the emulator never launched. No rusalt although I restart the IDE.

when I restart the adb using DDMS perspective it gives following error.

[2013-12-02 15:22:50 - DeviceMonitor] Adb connection Error:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
[2013-12-02 15:22:51 - DeviceMonitor] Connection attempts: 1

The avd manager also shows the emulator as a valid emulator

And when I close the emulator the console shows,

[2013-12-02 15:34:23 - hierarchyviewer]Unable to get view server version from device emulator-5554
[2013-12-02 15:34:23 - hierarchyviewer]Unable to get view server protocol version from device emulator-5554
[2013-12-02 15:34:23 - ViewServerDevice]Unable to debug device: My1 [emulator-5554]
[2013-12-02 15:34:23 - hierarchyviewer]Missing forwarded port for emulator-5554
[2013-12-02 15:34:23 - hierarchyviewer]Unable to get the focused window from device emulator-5554 

So can someone help me? Thank you!!!

To solve this, go to Window --> Open Perspective --> DDMS. In the DDMS View, look for devices on the left of your screen. You should see a bar having about 12 icons. Click on the down arrow and click the "reset ADB". It should work afterwards.
