    • Hi, you can try to use your warranty card if your Microsoft Lumia 532 get hardware trouble. However, first you can try to do hard reset using hardware button combination key with steps at #Options 2 above.

  2. I got my whatsapp un-installed. Now, when I am trying to re-install it, i am getting the outlook password page where I am asked to feed password. Once I feed the password, its getting redirected to another page, where there is an option to get the security code. For that we have to choose either by text or by call. I tried both option, but nothing works. Dont know, how to get my whatsapp reinstalled. Any help….??

    • Hi, maybe you mean Microsoft Password. If you still not login to Microsoft account, then you can not install any applications including Whatsapp at your Microsoft Lumia 532. If you forgot Microsoft account password, then you can try to login with any other computer using Internet browser at https://login.live.com/ and try to restore forgotten password from “Forgot my password” menu.
