Hi there, my cousin has just got a Lumia 535, and I tried to set her up with Facebook but made a mistake with the password but told the phone to save it?

Password for Facebook incorrectly saved

Swipe left to enter the application menu.

• Tap "Settings".
• Tap "email+accounts".
• Tap and hold "Facebook" and then
• tap "Delete".

Now, add the Facebook account back again by tapping "Add an account" and then "Facebook". Follow the instructions afterward.

Alternatively, open a browser on your PC and go to [1].

• Sign in with your Windows account.
• From the "Services" page,
• click "Edit Facebook settings".
• Click "Remove this connection completely" at the bottom of the page.
• Click "Remove" to confirm the removal.

From the homepage, you can add Facebook by clicking "Connect" and selecting Facebook from under "Add the accounts you use every day".

See more questions like this: I forgot my Microsoft Lumia 535 account password. I am unable to sign in. I can't download anything without this password

I cannot enter to my account and use my Lumia?

I can not use my Lumia mobile for Viber and WhatsApp, I forgot my password to the Microsoft account and when I try to change passport and a code is sent to me I write and verify it goes back to the previous page without any result. I have tried: I repeatedly tried to change my password, and in the last process after the code, the given code with four numbers does not work, the application return back. I think it was caused by: The previous password is not recognized as I do not use it for a long time

Reset your password again. This time choose the option I Don't Use These Anymore when it asks to send the code to your phone via SMS. You will then be given the option to put in a different email than the one you are trying to recover. Microsoft will take you through an extra security process to make sure you are not trying to steal the account. If all else fails, contact Microsoft directly because you will not be able to use your Nokia Lumia without your Microsoft Account. Also, to use WhatsApp and other apps, your Windows OS needs to be higher than 8.1.
