You may be able to recover your account by guessing your old password with your first and last letters, your phone number or your email address. Or, you may be able to get back access to your account by using the reset password feature. If none of the above methods work, you can try changing your password.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_regain_access_to_a_hacked_Facebook_account\"><\/span>How to regain access to a hacked Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hackers may have gained access to your Facebook account when you clicked on a malicious link or opened a phishing email. Once they have your password, they can use it to contact your friends. The sooner you can detect the hacking activity, the better the chances are of recovering the account. Luckily, there are steps you can take to restore access to your account. Follow these steps to restore access to a hacked Facebook account.<\/p>\n<p>First, change your email address. If you use your old email address, Facebook may not recognize your new account. Change your email address and password and then resubmit the registration process. You&#8217;ll need to enter a special verification code to confirm your identity. Then, follow the steps above. Your account will be restored once Facebook verifies your identity. If you don&#8217;t have an email address, Facebook will send you a special link.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_password_if_you_cant_remember_your_old_one\"><\/span>How to change your password if you can&#8217;t remember your old one<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Forgotten your Facebook password? Follow these steps to change your password and recover your account data. Then, be sure to save your new password somewhere safe. Using a password manager can help you make the process easier and more secure. Another helpful tool is a backup email address. If you don&#8217;t have one, you can always create one with the help of your password manager.<\/p>\n<p>To change your password, you must be logged in. To do this, you must have a valid email address or mobile phone number. After you login, Facebook will ask you for the name of your friend or contact. This email will include the new password. Afterwards, you can confirm your new password by entering the confirmation code. You can also choose to send a text message if you want to receive a code through SMS.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reset_your_email_address_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to reset your email address on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In some cases, you may need to change your email address on Facebook. To do so, you can either do it through the Facebook website or through the mobile app. The most common reason for changing your Facebook email is if your email address has been hacked. By changing it, you&#8217;ll be preventing others from accessing your account. You can change your Facebook email by following the steps below. Here are some tips on how to reset your email address on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Go to the Settings tab on the Facebook app. Select &#8220;Contact Info.&#8221; Next, click &#8220;Add an Email Address.&#8221; Type your new email address and confirm it by replying to the email you received. This new email address will become your primary contact on Facebook. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can remove your old email address from Facebook. Once you&#8217;ve changed your email address, you can choose another one to be your primary contact.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_recover_a_deactivated_Facebook_account\"><\/span>How to recover a deactivated Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Inactive users of Facebook may lose or forget their login details. To recover your Facebook account, you must first gain access to your profile. To do so, click on the three dots icon located below the cover photo. The menu will appear. Select the option that says &#8220;Log In.&#8221; After logging in, you must provide your name and email address. If you did not have an email address when you registered your account, you may want to update it before logging back into the service.<\/p>\n<p>Once you deactivate your Facebook account, you will no longer be able to see your timeline on the site. Additionally, you will no longer be listed in search results. Additionally, any apps or services that you signed up for with your Facebook account will no longer function properly unless you manually recover them with their providers. Luckily, you still have 30 days to recover a deactivated Facebook account. The process is straightforward and only requires a little research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Get My Facebook Account Back?
