For example, you can write (Hello, my account has been recently locked out or disabled for no reason, and I’m not able to log into it. I’d really appreciate it if you could check my account and fix the problem.
9. Then simply press ” Send”

Know that Facebook will not fix your Issues immediately and it takes some time, so be patient.

The third choice, which you can try:

First, make sure you’re using a device known to Facebook. I mean use something that you’ve already logged into your account with.

1. Simply type “Facebook.com” on your browser and press enter.
2. Go on and click “Forgot password”.
3. Next, you need to type either your phone number or your email that is associated with your Facebook account. Then tap on search.
4. Then Facebook will ask you if you want to reset your password so go on and press continue
5. After that Facebook will send you an 8 character long code. Depending on the option you’ve chosen in the previous section Facebook will send the code to your phone or email.
6. Type the code and press continue and then choose a new password. After you’ve done, you can log into your account.

This solution also works when you forget your password and want to create a new one. This is so important if you follow these steps with a different device that you haven’t already logged into your account before Facebook will not send you the code.

There are reports that many Facebook accounts have been hacked. So when this is the case it might take some time until you’ll be able to get your account back. In some cases, you won’t even be able to get it back. That is because the person who has hacked you has already changed your information.
