Select the one you want to use, and click Continue. It’ll then show a list of account recovery options associated with your account. (Screenshot: )Ĭlick that, and Facebook displays a page where you can enter the email address or phone number associated with your account. Just below the login password entry field on Facebook’s sign-in page is a link: Forgot account? or it might be Forgot password? Facebook Forgot Account? link.
If you don’t know your password, you need to recover your account. The information presented will be clearer, and you may have more recovery options. I recommend you do this from a desktop browser rather than your mobile device. Follow the steps Facebook presents to you, even if they differ slightly from what I’ve outlined here. Note: the steps here change occasionally based on Facebook’s own changes as well as the specifics of your situation. If you’ve configured your browser to remember passwords, you may be able to view what it saved. Without access to current info, you may not be able to recover your account. This uses information you’ve set up beforehand to confirm you’re authorized.
The only legitimate way to reset your password is Facebook’s own account-recovery mechanism.
