To request an unlocking of your account, you should include a clear description of the problem and a screenshot of the error message. It can take anywhere from one to ten business days for Facebook to respond. If you don&#8217;t receive a response within this time frame, you can also contact Facebook customer support for help.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verifying_your_identity_to_unlock_a_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Verifying your identity to unlock a Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When trying to unlock a Facebook account, you have to verify your identity. This process can be done in a few different ways. Firstly, you can contact Facebook support and ask for help. A Facebook representative will then contact you and ask you to provide your email address. Once you have provided your email address, you will need to attach a photo ID and phone number. If you cannot receive the verification code, you can also send them a letter. You can also request that Facebook send you a code.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can also try a new email address. However, this process might take a while. Depending on the amount of information you have, this process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. In any case, you should try to unlock the Facebook account as soon as you can. After completing the verification process, you will be able to use your account again in just a few hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verifying_your_identity_with_a_friends_photo_guess\"><\/span>Verifying your identity with a friend&#8217;s photo guess<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can attempt to verify your identity by putting a friend&#8217;s photo in the image field on Facebook. You have three chances to guess the photo correctly. If you&#8217;re unable to guess the photo, the system will send you a report that the process of photo identification has passed. You can then wait for a few minutes for the process to complete. After you&#8217;ve received the report, you can proceed to unlock your account.<\/p>\n<p>Face verification is a form of verification that requires a photo of your face. Face recognition software is used by Facebook to identify the photo of you. After you&#8217;ve verified your identity, the photo is deleted from Facebook. During the verification process, Facebook checks the uniqueness of the photo and compares it with photos uploaded to the service. If the photo matches, the process will be successful and you&#8217;ll be back on Facebook in 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contacting_Facebook_for_assistance_in_unlocking_a_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Contacting Facebook for assistance in unlocking a Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you cannot unlock your Facebook account despite following all the on-screen instructions, you can contact Facebook for help. You can use the &#8220;Report a Login Issue&#8221; form to report the problem. Facebook will then contact you via email to resolve the issue. You may need to provide a copy of your ID proof or confirm your age. You must do this step if your account is locked due to ineligibility.<\/p>\n<p>To contact the help center, you must provide the email address and phone number you use to login to Facebook. When you email the help center, mention that you have lost your password or your account has been suspended. You must also attach a photo ID, a phone number, and the login email. Afterward, you must enter your new password. This method will unlock your Facebook account quickly. Once you receive the email, the process will be more convenient.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivating_a_temporarily_locked_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Reactivating a temporarily locked Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook may lock your account temporarily for security reasons. If you&#8217;re a frequent sender of friend request requests or confirmation requests, Facebook may temporarily lock your account. Other reasons for account locking include using an alias, creating a page for a fictional business or person, or entering the wrong date of birth. If you&#8217;re locked out for any of these reasons, you can reactivate your account.<\/p>\n<p>To reactivate a temporarily locked Facebook account, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YVytYDMizE4\" width=\"498\" height=\"278\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unlock a Facebook Account If you&#8217;ve been having trouble signing into your Facebook account, you can use the &#8220;security checks are preventing me from accessing my account&#8221; form.
