Here are some utilities, all of which will display your product keys:

Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

(It does a good job of providing a wealth of information.)

Also: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Note: Also check the side of your PC case or bottom of the laptop for the

OEM key code. If there is a sticker with the code it will most likely not

match what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEMs such as

Dell use an internal key code when they build your PC.

The key code on the sticker is for use with your Windows CD

(that hopefully came with your PC)

if you ever need to reinstall Windows.

    As I said:

    You need to repost your question in the Mobile Devices section of the forum, stating your phone make and model.

    I have a Windows phone and forgot to write down Recovery key code, which I think is the same as the product verification code.  Recently did hard factory reset and now I can't get pass the Reset Protection Notification.  I tried the Windows device Recovery tool download and still not able to setup phone.  Help needed.
