Try one of the following ways:

Recovering a hacked facebook account:

https://www.facebook.com/hacked

Verifying through friends

https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=228169557197326

Standard password recovery:

If none of that works, I am afraid, you would have to talk to Facebook customer support

Hope something works out for you,
Cheers.
