In most cases you'd want to deactivate your account, not delete it. The two actions have the same effect, but after deactivation your account can be restored. For deactivation, look for that link at the bottom of your account page. For deletion, press the Submit button on the deletion page.

Or perhaps if you can resolve the issues you mention, you won't feel the need to deactivate or delete.

You can reset your password by clicking here. You can change your Facebook password at any time from the Settings tab of the account page.

To edit your profile, first go to your profile.

Select the Info tab.
Click "Edit Information" at the top-right.
Update information in the available fields.
Click "Save Changes."
