There are two ways that you can do this. Try the first one and if it does not work, then you should try the 2nd option.

Option 1:
1) Go to this page: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=hack_nologin_access
2) LOG OUT (VERY IMPORTANT)
3) Go back to the page with the form on it
4) Fill in the form, using your current email address, selecting yes, saying compromised address is unknown, your Name, DOB and link to old profile, and submit

It is vital that you are logged out when you sumbit this form, otherwise it will not be processed properly.

Option 2:

Log in to your new account and find the profile for the old account and go to that page. On the left hand side, there is an option to report this person. Click on that and report it as someone trying to impersonate you. The profile should be taken down soon thereafter, as they will not get a rebuttal from the other account.


I hope I have been helpful!
