If you can't answer your security question, you may have the option to recover your account through the help of your friends.

Because your privacy and security are very important, we can only reset your login information after we carefully check your identity. If you qualify for this process, you can regain access to your account within 24 hours with only a few minutes of help from your friends. 

Here's how it works:

  1. If you're locked out of your account, go to the password reset page and follow the on-screen steps to identify your account.
  2. When prompted, choose a few trusted friends you can easily reach by phone. After you confirm your choices, we'll send a unique security code to each of your friends along with instructions on how to help you.
  3. Call your friends and ask them to check their email for a message from Facebook. Don't send a text message or email.
  4. Wait 24 hours and log back into your account. Note that this waiting period is an extra precaution to protect you.
