There are several methods that you can use, but none of them require you to change your password. If you are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, you can try these other methods. The best option is to log in with a regular computer and internet connection. Facebook will detect your regular network, so you may be able to recover your account without providing additional information. If this fails, the best method is to go to Facebook&#8217;s Recovery Page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_recover_an_old_Facebook_account_without_setting_a_new_password\"><\/span>How to recover an old Facebook account without setting a new password<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have forgotten your Facebook password, it&#8217;s easy to recover an old account by using your phone number or email address. Simply change your email address and check for the confirmation email from Facebook. If you cannot find it, try using your username. Then, you can reset your password. However, you may want to change your email address before trying to recover an old account. Here are the steps to do this.<\/p>\n<p>First, find out whether you&#8217;ve disabled your account. If you disabled your account, you can try logging in through other devices, such as mobile browsers. If you haven&#8217;t received the verification email, you can try logging in using your recovery email or code. Make sure to use special characters to make the password more difficult to guess. Alternatively, you can try one of the Default Account Recovery Methods to recover an old Facebook account without setting a new password.<\/p>\n<p>To reset your password, visit Facebook&#8217;s recovery site. Enter your phone number or email address, and click the button. You&#8217;ll receive a code. Next, follow the instructions on the site to enter a new password. If all else fails, try to recover the account through another way. There are also several options that don&#8217;t require you to use your phone or email address. However, it is always better to use an email address because it will give you a better chance of recovering the account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_an_iPhone_or_Android_device\"><\/span>Using an iPhone or Android device<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Logging in to your Facebook account on your new device isn&#8217;t as difficult as it might seem. All you need is an email address or a phone number. You can enter either one without a country code, as long as you&#8217;re in the US. Otherwise, you can use your Facebook username. If you&#8217;ve forgotten your password, you can follow these steps to recover your account.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve entered the recovery code on your new device, you&#8217;ll be prompted to enter your email address or phone number. You&#8217;ll then need to go to the Find Your Account page in the app. Once there, you&#8217;ll see a list of search results. Once there, click Try Another Way or Send Code via Email to complete the recovery process. Then, follow the instructions and confirm the recovery.<\/p>\n<p>If you use a Microsoft account to sign into your recovery account, you&#8217;ll have to sign in with that same credentials. Using a Microsoft account will recover your credentials to the new device. However, it&#8217;s possible that the verification code will differ between the old and new phone. It&#8217;s best to sign in using the same phone for both devices, since they share the same credential.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_confirmation_reset_code\"><\/span>Using a confirmation reset code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble recovering an old Facebook account, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. First, you&#8217;ll need to verify your account. You can choose either email or phone recovery to confirm your identity. If you choose phone recovery, Facebook will send you a security code, which you&#8217;ll need to enter to regain access to your account. This process may take several weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve found the email address of the friend you used to recover your account, the next step is to enter it in the text box provided. After that, simply enter the code you received into your account&#8217;s confirmation box. Then, you&#8217;re ready to log in. Remember to use a strong password to protect your account. You can even use this method to recover an old account that you forgot.<\/p>\n<p>If you forgot your password, the next step is to change it. To do this, log into Facebook and follow the steps provided there. You&#8217;ll need your email address, full name, and username. Enter these details and click &#8220;confirm&#8221; to confirm your identity. When you&#8217;re done, you&#8217;ll be back in your Facebook account. If you don&#8217;t remember this email address, you can use your phone number.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lGNcB2F5mpU\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"306\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"548\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Recover My Old Facebook Account Without Setting a New Password?
