How to recover Your

Hacked Facebook Account

•

If the password has changed:

The most common type of hacking is done

by changing the password of the account

so that the original user cannot access it.

As a matter of fact, recovering such

account is relatively easier. You need to

follow these steps for doing so.

If only the password has changed and you

still have access to the associated email of

the account then you may go to the

 “forgot password” option at the

Facebook login page.  

Facebook will lead you to another page

and will ask you to enter either your

username, email address or the phone

number.   

You can select any of the options.

Facebook will find your profile, view your

specific profile enter either the email

address or mobile number and click on “continue”.

A recovery code will be sent to your

desired recovery option. Enter that code

and click continue.

Now set your new password and your

account will be ready to use again.

If  no access to email

If the hacker has gone a little further

with hacking your account, and your

associated email cannot be accessed

then you must take the following steps

to recover it.    

Click on the “forgot password option”.

Now let Facebook search your profile

by entering your username or email

address 

Once you have been located by

Facebook, click on your profile, a

dialogue box will open to reset your

password.

 

Find your facebook and account and “click this is my account”  

Click on “no longer has access to these” as you do not have access to

your associated email address.

Then extended recovery options will be

given and it depends on the age of the

Facebook account. Old Facebook

accounts have the option of Security

question to recover their account.

New Facebook users can use the option of “trusted contacts” to

regain access to their account. For

doing so, enter the email address you

have access to, and click on reveal my

trusted contacts and enter the name of

one of them. Facebook will provide a

link that only your trusted contact can

access. Ask them to click on the link

and get the security code for you. Enter

the security code to recover your

account.

•

If Password and email address

changed:

If your password, as well as the associated

email, has been changed, then the

chances of recovering the account have

somewhat reduced. To get through this

type of situations there are two procedures

that you can apply. It will require you to

recover the account either by your mobile

number or old email address.

By recovering from the mobile number all

you need to do is go to the Facebook

page. Click on the forgot password option.  

 Then enter your account information like

username or email address, once your

Facebook profile appears, click on it and

recovery options will appear.   

Click on the mobile number option. Enter

your mobile number,  

Facebook will send you a text message in

which a security code will be given.  

 Enter the recovery code to the dialogue

box. Now you will be able to set a new

password for your Facebook account.

The other way is to recover with email

change notification. If your email address

has been changed, then Facebook will

send an email to your previously entailing

email address and notify you about the

email change.

If your email id has been hacked, then there will be an option “if you did not do this, please secure your account” click on

it. You will be given the option to secure

your account.

Then Facebook will provide you with a

number of recovery options according to

the account and security. You may be

asked to upload the government ID,

Facebook will verify it and reactivate your

account.

Another option will be to enter your date

of birth to recover the account.

Another fun option is that Facebook will

ask you to recognize your friends by

showing you their pictures and asking their

names. 

Method -2 

If none of the methods worked for you to

recover your Facebook account, here are

the new updated methods for you. 

Facebook just published a new security

update which allows you to reset your

password without any verification (in some

cases) only if you try to reset your

password from the device that you use

mostly for login to Facebook. 

It means that if your Facebook got hacked,

and if you tried many methods and not

worked just try the method below;

Open the device that you use mostly for

Facebook like log-in, log-out or any activity that you’ve made mostly.

For example; your iPhone using it for 2

years for Facebook as well.

Just try to recover / reset your password

from that device.

If Facebook recognizes your device, you’ll be able to reset your password

without any verification.

To increase your chance, if it’s possible,

while trying to reset your Facebook

password, use the Wi-Fi / Network you use

for Facebook mostly like your Home Wi-Fi

etc.

This may not work on your case, but you

should try. If you still could not achieve it,

give some suggestions for your case.
