I need a reset protection recovery key for my phone please
How to get reset protection recovery key
I did a hard reset on my Lumia 640. I had no idea that I needed to turn off reset protection first. When I login to my account, no devices are showing up. How else can I find myself recovery key? My phone is basically useless until I get the key. Please help!

I understood the instructions perfectly well???? It instructed me to disable reset recovery protection by removing my device on my windows account. And after removing the device, I would be provided with the recovery key. But when I log into my account, no devices are showing up.
You explained the membership, I assumed as the 640 was launched 2 years ago, new member, as new phone OK.
I understood the instructions perfectly well????

To turn off Reset Protection when you no longer own the phone
If someone has received your phone and you didn't turn off Reset Protection, the recipient won't be able to set up the phone. Here's what you can do:
- Go to account.microsoft.com/devices.
- Next to the phone you no longer own, select Remove phone.
- *Select the I'm ready to remove my phone check box, note the recovery key, and then select Remove.*The recovery key will display on the page and will also be emailed to you.
- When you're certain that you have your recovery key saved, select the I've kept a copy of the recovery key check box, and then select Okay.
- Forward the recovery key email to your phone recipient.
Your phone is no longer listed on account.microsoft.com/devices, and the recipient can remove Reset Protection during phone set up using the Disable using recovery key option.

2017-03-17T14:11:36+00:00 Thank you. I've already tried this and it didn't work. It said to get the key that I have to sign in to my account and remove the device, but no devices are showing up. Does Microsoft have a customer service number or something?
I noticed that you only became a member yesterday 16/03/2017
To be clear ONLY the person who activated the RESET PROTECTION will recieve the RPRK, if that is NOT you then you need to contact the SELLER for the RPRK, or return the item to the seller as "NOT matching the description"
You appear to have not fully understood the instructions in the document 93tid reply contained
Here is the same link with preamable on RPRK, NO RPRK NO phone ... ever
