These steps also work if your account was compromised by a hacker or someone trusted. After completing these steps, you can contact Facebook support to reset your account. Once you receive their email, you can follow the instructions provided by the Facebook support staff. You can also add three or more friends to your account for recovery. Moreover, you can also include backup email addresses and current phone numbers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_recover_a_Facebook_account\"><\/span>How to recover a Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few different methods you can use to recover your Facebook account. In some cases, a hacked account is the reason you&#8217;re locked out. In other cases, you&#8217;ve simply forgotten your password. Whatever the reason, these methods should help you get back in. The first step in recovering your account is to locate the account you&#8217;re trying to recover in your Friends list. Once you&#8217;ve located the account, tap the three dots at the top right corner of the page.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve forgotten the email address or phone number you used to create your Facebook account, you can confirm your account. If you&#8217;ve forgotten your email address or phone number, you can add a new one by logging in to the site. You can also use your Facebook username. However, keep in mind that this will require a new browser profile. Once you&#8217;ve done that, follow the directions on the website to confirm your identity.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll need to contact trusted contacts. Once you&#8217;ve located these people, you can click on the &#8220;Recover my Facebook account&#8221; link and follow the instructions. Once you&#8217;ve verified your account, Facebook will send you a security code. You&#8217;ll need to enter this code to confirm your account. Finally, if you&#8217;ve forgotten your password, you can try using the same method to recover your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_recover_a_Facebook_account_from_a_hacker\"><\/span>How to recover a Facebook account from a hacker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After you find out that you have been hacked, you may be wondering how to recover a Facebook account from a person who has gained access to your profile. To start with, you should change your password immediately. Make sure to change the security settings on your device as well as change your password. Check to see which devices have access to your Facebook account and disable those that don&#8217;t belong to you. Change your password and make sure to select the &#8220;Not Me&#8221; option.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a cell phone or an email, you can reset your password. If you don&#8217;t know how to do this, you can also check out the FAQ section of the Facebook website. If you still cannot remember your password, you can try changing it again using the method mentioned above. If you&#8217;re still unsure, you can check out the newest security feature, Identity Verification, to secure your Facebook account.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve verified that you are the owner of the account, you can choose to recover it. It&#8217;s important to note that hackers who have stolen your account are unlikely to be experienced hackers. Besides changing your password, they&#8217;ll most likely change it again before you&#8217;ve even changed it. If you know your account was hacked, you should try to recover it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_recover_a_Facebook_account_from_a_trusted_contact\"><\/span>How to recover a Facebook account from a trusted contact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are having trouble logging into your Facebook account, you can use the following steps to recover it. First, contact your trusted contact and request a recovery code. If you do not have your trusted contact&#8217;s email address, you can call them and ask them to send it to you. Once you have the code, you can fill in the form and get back into your Facebook account. Once your friend confirms this, you can proceed to recover the account.<\/p>\n<p>If your friend cannot contact you through email or phone, you can still use this method to recover your account. First, open the Facebook app. Tap &#8216;Forgot your password?&#8217;, then enter your phone number and email address. Click &#8216;No longer have access to these?&#8217; You will be prompted to provide a new phone number and email address. Once you have entered this information, follow the instructions to reset your password. After you have verified your email address and phone number, you can request that your friend send you a code.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to recover your Facebook account is to guess your contact&#8217;s first and last name and email address. Then, enter the password reset code you received via email or phone into the box provided. This method requires you to enter both your email address and your phone number to complete the recovery process. If you do not have a trusted contact who has the information, you can also try using the Google sign-in method to recover your account.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lGNcB2F5mpU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"384\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Reset Your Facebook Account If your Facebook account is lost or stolen, this article will explain how to get it back.
