    • Hi, normally the basic information to recover the forgotten password is known the login id. Without login id, you can not recover your account. However, if you remember the alternative email id for bypass forgot password, then try to contact Microsoft for further advice weather they can help you or not to give back the Microsoft Live ID for your Nokia Lumia 520.

    • Hi, usually this problem happen because your Nokia Lumia 520 not backup or synchronize all data to Microsoft cloud server, that is why you will not get all data backup properly. You can not restore any data if you have already done hard reset or reformat to factory default Nokia Lumia 520.

    • Hi, you can get several cloud backup at Nokia Lumia 525 if you have login to Microsoft account. Please make sure to check contact from Microsoft website and login with the same account using computer browser just to make sure the contact has already backed up. But for safety reasons, better you download backup and restore applications from Application store and after finish backup using that apps, then copy backup files to safe location like microSD card or computer. Later after you have new Lumia handset then you can restore several cloud backup after signed in with same account, then install the same backup and restore apps, then restore backup files from your microSD.

    • Hi, you have to know that both phone have different operating system, so you need to do it one by one. First for contact, you have to make sure your Nokia Lumia 520 contact has been synchronized to Microsoft account, and then please download Microsoft Outlook from Google Play Store to sync from Microsoft cloud server. The other alternative is doing manual export and import files and transfer using Bluetooth.

    • Hi, actually there are some steps to backup. You can do it manually or automatically especially for contact which backup to Microsoft cloud server, so you can open Microsoft account and see people at both phone book (Nokia Lumia 520 and Microsoft account) are same. Please follow steps above to do other backup carefully.
