If you can&#8217;t remember your current password, you can try submitting a color photo of a government-issued ID. If all else fails, you can always create a new account and reset the old one. If all else fails, you can simply change your password and try logging in again. However, if you&#8217;re not sure how to proceed, keep reading for more tips.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Providing_a_color_image_of_a_government-issued_photo_ID_to_recover_a_locked_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Providing a color image of a government-issued photo ID to recover a locked Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use a government-issued photo ID to get back into your Facebook account. You can either upload the image to Facebook yourself or have your friend send it to you. If you choose to upload your ID, it must be a JPEG. After you&#8217;ve uploaded it, you&#8217;ll need to provide your email address and a phone number. After that, you&#8217;ll need to hit the blue &#8220;Send&#8221; button. The email address and phone number you provide should be your primary one, but you can use any one that you have on file.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve lost your account or are unsure about who to contact, you can call Facebook and they&#8217;ll request an ID. The government-issued photo ID you provide should clearly show your name, photograph, and birthday. You can also choose to conceal any other non-identification data, such as your license number or address. You may also have to answer security questions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resetting_a_new_password_to_regain_access_to_a_blocked_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Resetting a new password to regain access to a blocked Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to regain access to a blocked Facebook accounts. First, you should make sure that you&#8217;re using an email address. You can do this by clicking on the link Facebook sent you to reset your password. Next, you should enter the new password and confirm your identity by entering the confirmation code. Once this has been done, you&#8217;ll be back in your account!<\/p>\n<p>If your account was blocked due to suspicious activity or other harmful communication, you can unlock it by creating a new password. If you don&#8217;t have a phone number, you can get a new one using a trusted contact&#8217;s email address. Remember to keep this email address confidential. If you&#8217;re unable to change your password, you can contact your account&#8217;s administrator for help.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve completed the steps above, you can now log back into your Facebook account. You can do this by accessing your account through the browser or a mobile app. The next step is to follow the menu that appears. Click on the &#8216;forgot password&#8217; link and type in your new email address and phone number. Afterwards, you&#8217;ll be prompted to enter the three-digit security code.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_new_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Creating a new Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t remember the password to your Facebook account, you can attempt to recover it by creating a new one. But before you do that, you need to verify that it is indeed your account. To do so, you can choose between email or phone recovery. Once you&#8217;ve selected your preferred method, Facebook will send you a code via email, which you&#8217;ll need to enter to unlock your account.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve tried numerous times to login to your current account but have been unsuccessful, you can try creating a new one. This method may take a while to work, as Facebook can change their policy on locking accounts without any notice. In some cases, the reason for account locking can be due to violation of the terms and conditions, using multiple accounts, or creating a fake profile. In this case, you&#8217;ll need to provide a copy of your ID in order to unlock the account.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t receive the email, you can send the message to the person who locked your account. Usually, they&#8217;ll send you a code to confirm your identity. Enter the code in the box provided on the email or phone, and wait for the verification to take place. Once your password has been reset, you&#8217;ll be able to change your password and security questions and answers.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EDBSAnBzwwg\" height=\"296\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Can I Recover My Locked Facebook Account?
