You can also recover your account by identifying friends if you forgot Facebook password and email. This, however, will only work if you have set up Trusted Contacts.

Here’s how to reset Facebook password by identifying friends.

8. Enter the full name of one of your friends that you have chosen as your Trusted Contacts. This will reveal all of your Trusted Contacts.
9. You will see a set of instructions and a link. This link will have a code that you need to recover your account.
10. Send your friends the link and ask them to open it. They will then receive a code from Facebook.
11. Ask your friends to give you the codes.
12. Use the codes to access your account. Now that you can access your account, you can reset your password.

4 If all else fails…

The above should help you to recover your account. That being said, there are cases when there is nothing you can do to recover your account.

It can be because the recovery codes just didn’t work, outdated contact information, Facebook wouldn’t respond to verify your identity or other reasons.

As much as it hurts, you need to move on and create a new account. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen to you. If it does, be sure to provide valid contact details and secure your new account so that you won’t lose it again.
