In the final step, select Recover this account and click Done, which will log you out of the account you're using, to start the account recovery.
This method will lead you to the same Reset Your Password window described under Option 2. The recovery is based on the contact data you added to your account.
If you need more help with the following recovery steps, please follow the instructions from the second screenshot below.
Option 2: Find and Recover Your Account With Contact Details
If you don't have access to Facebook at all or prefer not to log out of another account, open a new browser profile, e.g. a guest profile, and head to the Facebook recover page.
Enter an email address or phone number you previously added to your Facebook account. When you search for a phone number, try it with or without your country code, e.g. 1, +1, or 001 for the US; all three versions should work. Even if it doesn't say so, you can also use your Facebook username.
Once you successfully manage to identify your account, you will see a summary of your profile. Before you proceed, carefully check whether this really is your account and whether you still have access to the email address or phone number listed. You may be able to choose between email or phone recovery.
Should you No longer have access to these? proceed to point 3 of this article.
If all looks well with the contact details that Facebook has on file for you, however, click Continue. Facebook will send you a security code.
Retrieve the code from your email or phone (depending on which method you chose), enter it, and rejoice in having recovered your Facebook account.
At this point, you can set a new password, which we strongly recommend.
If the code never arrives, check your spam folder (email) or make sure you can receive text messages from unknown senders. One MakeUseOf reader contacted us saying she had not received the SMS code. Later, when she switched phones, all of Facebook's text messages came through at once. Apparently, the number was blocked on her old phone. Make sure this isn't happening to you, too.
If you still can't receive the code, click Didn't get a code? in the bottom-left corner of the Enter Security Code window, which will take you back to the previous screen.
You can try again or maybe you'll realize that you don't have access to the account after all.
Log Back Into Your Facebook Account
If you managed to regain access to your account and if you suspect that your Facebook account was hacked, immediately change your password and update your contact information.

These are key steps in securing your Facebook account. Be sure to remove any email addresses or phone numbers that are not your own or that you can no longer access.
We strongly recommend that you enable two-factor authentication on all of your social media accounts, so that this won't happen again.
3. Change Contact Information
Often, it's not possible to recover a Facebook account using the options above. Maybe you lost access to the email address and phone number you once added to your profile. Or maybe a hacker changed this information.
n that case, Facebook allows you to specify a new email address or phone number, which it will use to contact you about recovering your account.
To start this process, click the link No longer have access to these? in the bottom-left of the reset password page (see above) to start the Facebook account recovery process. Facebook will ask you for a new email address or phone number, so that it can get in touch with you to help you recover your account. Click Continue to proceed.
If you have set up Trusted Contacts, you can ask the social network to help you recover your Facebook account in the next step. You'll need to remember at least one full name of your Trusted Contacts to reveal all of them. Note that you only need three codes to recover your Facebook account.If you didn't set up Trusted Contacts, you might be given the option to answer one of your security questions and reset your password on the spot. As an additional precaution, this comes with a 24-hour waiting period before you can access your account.
Otherwise, you might have to wait until Facebook gets in touch to verify your identity. Be patient.
4. Check if Your Facebook Account Was Hacked to Send Spam
In the event that your account was hacked and is posting spam while you can no longer access it, you should report your Facebook account as compromised.
This will actually start a similar process to the one outlined above. While you will use the same information to identify your account, in the following step you will be able to use either a current or old Facebook password to recover your account.
This is useful in case a hacker changed your password, but it may also come in handy if you forget your new password. You can find more security-related tips on the Account Security page in the Facebook Help Center.
Note: If you're the victim of Facebook malware, read our article detailing how to prevent and remove Facebook malware.
5. Confirm Your Identity With Facebook
If all of Facebook's automated account recovery methods have failed, your last hope is Facebook support itself.
Facebook has a help centre page that lets you confirm your identity.
Upload a JPEG (photo) of your ID, enter an email address or mobile phone number that is (or was) associated with the Facebook account you wish to recover, then click Send to submit the information.
If you no longer have access to any of the email addresses or phone numbers associated with your account, enter one you have access to now. Then email security@facebookmail.com to explain your situation.
Mention that you've already submitted your ID to prove your identity. Do not attach your ID to your email, as email isn't a secure form of communication.
Either way, hearing back from Facebook can take several weeks, so you'll need to be patient.
Note: If you didn't use your real name on Facebook, your hopes for recovering your account this way are close to zero.
If All Else Fails, Create a New Facebook Profile
Over the past few years, we have received countless messages from people who weren't able to recover their Facebook accounts, even after going through all of these steps, one by one.
Usually, their contact information was outdated, the recovery codes Facebook provided didn't work, or the company would never respond to verify their identity. And at that point you're out of options.
At some point, you just have to move on. As much as it hurts, learn from your mistakes, and create a new account.
Be sure to add several valid contact details, secure your Facebook account, and rebuild your profile from scratch. It's a pain, but it's better than nothing.
