Here are three ways you can unlock your account: submit a security form, verify your identity, and report a security problem. You may also have to use a third-party service to unlock your account. But whatever your reason is, this process is safe and easy to follow. And it works for most users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verify_your_identity\"><\/span>Verify your identity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve lost your password, you can use the &#8220;Verify your identity to unlock your Facebook account&#8221; form to reset it. To do so, simply supply your email address, full name, and ID image. Then, you can login to your Facebook account using another device. Once you&#8217;ve completed the form, you&#8217;ll receive a link to reset your password. It&#8217;s simple and free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use an alias to log in to your account. Using an alias, for example, can result in your account being locked. Other common reasons include using a celebrity photo, entering an incorrect birth date, or creating a fictitious person or company. These reasons all require you to prove your identity to unlock your Facebook account. You can contact Facebook to learn more about how to unlock your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Submit_a_form\"><\/span>Submit a form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve experienced trouble logging into your Facebook account and need to unlock it, you can do so by submitting a form. You will need to provide your name, email address, and photo ID to unlock your account. If the problem is not related to your email, you may also be asked to submit a photo of your ID. You should allow at least a week for Facebook to respond to your request.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook accounts are locked due to several failed login attempts. This process applies to both mobile and desktop accounts. If you&#8217;ve lost your password or been locked out due to repeated login attempts, you&#8217;ll need to contact the company directly by filling out a form. Include your contact email address and a screenshot of the error message. Wait about 110 business days to receive a response. You can also submit a form if you&#8217;ve received a security code that keeps you from logging in to your Facebook account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Report_a_security_problem\"><\/span>Report a security problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are unable to login to Facebook for any reason, you can report a security problem through the website. To report a problem, you must include your login email address, photo ID, and telephone number, and mention the security issue. Facebook will respond within a few days. In the meantime, you can take preventative measures to protect your account, including keeping your email address and phone number up-to-date.<\/p>\n<p>If you are still unable to log in, you can also contact Facebook support. A support representative will respond to your request within one to 10 business days. If you have not received a response within that time frame, you can try sending another email. If you do not receive a response, check your spam folder for more information. Sometimes, a temporary lock occurs because of a mistake on your part. To resolve this problem, try the steps below:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_account_unlocked\"><\/span>Get your account unlocked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Are you worried that someone may have locked your Facebook account? Facebook has many ways to unlock your account. In this article, we will go over the methods that you can try. Some people lock their account because they use unreal ways to gain likes and followers. You can unlock your account by filling out details of recent friend activities and choosing the correct action. Most of the time, your account will return to normal after a few months.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the &#8220;security checks prevent you from logging in&#8221; form. Simply fill out the form and include the email address of the person you&#8217;d like to verify. Be sure to mention the problem in the form so Facebook can better assist you. If the form does not work, you can also use the &#8220;Forgot password&#8221; option. You can then follow up with a notification from Facebook, but it can take up to 10 business days to receive a reply.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"502\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pKZpcoGNnMc\" height=\"281\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unlock Your Facebook Account If you&#8217;ve been locked out of Facebook for some time, you may be wondering how to unlock your Facebook account.
