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!

    Hello,

    I had read your text which you had kept to the customers to helping them to

    login the RPRK , but I am also facing with same problem to login the RPRK.

    But, the point is I didnt buy the phone and I had found the phone beside the

    road and I am using it. Recently 3 times I had update the phone and its

    working properly, but the 4 the time when I re set the phone it was asking

    me RPRK key, I do know and I am not the owner of this phone , I didnt

    stolen the phone , I had found it . So now I want to login RPRK ,

    how I can login ,,, please help meee.

    and dont say that give to the owner not silly answers.

    Thanking you,

    Hi GorlakondaRakesh

    That protection was added to make sure i one loses the phone it cannot be refornated and used by some one else.

    That Key is in the Microsoft account of the owner of the phone.

    Hi RichFollette

    As explained many times before, that Key is in your Microsoft Account, the account to each the device is associated to.
