SO I WAS  a bit drunk last night and i lost my phone, i have a nokia windows phone, so i know the battery is dead but is there a way to delete my data the second its turned off?  i need to know because as i work in it i have stupidly left a lot of admin passwords on it, so basically i am screwed if somebody that knows what is on it, also i tried ereasing it true windowsphone.com but it said it cant be done now. as the battery is dead

You posted in the wrong section.

Call your service provider, tell them u lost it and go cry in a corner (specially if you have bucket loads of porn in there)

lol no porn on it, just a load of admin passwords, that could take down the whole network,  im so sickened had 150 bucks in it as well , also had my driver licensce on it, but i only really care about my admin password

Probably still drunk.

brand new out of the box 920

Uh, if your phone is turned off, you simply don't have a way of setting off the killswitch.

Happy hunting, then!

but can i do it, if its turned on, i have no passcode on it

That just sucks. Losing a brand new phone (I obviously know it isn't the flagship anymore) sucks.

Oh, well. As someone who has to deal with these kinds of things on a semi-daily basis, I feel for you.
