    Unique Device ID for lumia 920

    sorry I didn't knw that there are a lot of IDs.

    I have installed an application call wassapp which will enable me to use whatsapp on my windows 8 laptop. during setup I have input my mobile number and its asking for password. I check to knw what password is being asked for and its "Your password is your
    device's unique ID" for windows phone and for android phone password is device's IMEI.

    so where can I find my device's unique ID?
