But AFAICR, this is because you did not select a proper style for your bibliography that supports Author Year citations. I don't know what style you're using, but you can try to select another one, like plainnat or apalike. If I'm not wrong, the "plain" style (which is the LyX default), does not support it. If you're not sure what I am talking about, just select Insert > List / TOC > BibTeX Bibloography..., in that window you are able to select your *.bib database and a style (*.bst) to use.
