My Account Has Been Disabled For No Reason How Can I Get It Back

My facebook account was disabled since early this morning and I don't know why. I have sent a request for them to investigate but get no responce from them. I have had my account for over three years and I use it to play a few games..Farmville and Castleville. I have spent lots of money and time on these games and need my account back. I have children and grandchildren in the Military and this is how I keep in touch with them. Can you please tell me what I can do? Thank you, Nancy Hughes

The most common reason for disabling an account is use of a fake name. Facebook requires real first and last names. You'll find more details on this Facebook page. If you think that may apply to you, you can request a review of your own situation here. Otherwise, your best bet is to use this form.

        Or...

Facebook has detected suspicious activity on your account and has temporarily suspended it as a security precaution. This may be because an unfamiliar computer had gained access to your Facebook account. It is also possible that your password was "phished," or stolen by a website designed to look like Facebook.

You will be able to regain access to your account once the automated security verification process is completed.

        Or...

Facebook is making an improvement to the database that your account is stored on. During this time, you will not be able to gain access to your account. In most instances, this maintenance will last only a few hours.

(Facebook doesn't do site maintenance on all accounts at the same time, so it's possible that some of your friends will have full access even though you don't.)

If your maintenance lasts longer than 24 hours, you may wish to follow these instructions to clear your browser's cache and cookies. If that doesn't work, try submitting this Facebook form.
