These days there are many ways a facebook account can be hacked easily and many people are falling victims to these hackers. Its very easy to get trapped by hackers, they use more sophisticated  methods to do it. And are you in such a situation? Do you want to recover your facebook account back ?

There should be any thing to worry in this case. Before losing hope there are some things that can be done to restore your Hacked Face Book Account back.


First of all you can try resetting your account password on facebook. But this could help only in rare cases, because most hackers are intelligent and they surely will have changed the default email address. But if some body got (though the chances are extremely narrow) logged into your account and has changed only the password of your face book account, this might help you restore hacked facebook account password and gain access to your lost account.

But things get much more worse when the hacker changes the email address in your Facebook Account. You’ll no longer be able to reset the account password and gain access to the account.

But there is a way.

Face Book provides a contact page for you to help you to in recovering the hacked account .

Your contact email address:

Description and steps to reproduce the issue:

Provide as much as information in here regarding how your face book account was hacked etc. It is recommended to  include the time and date when you were able to access your account for the last time. These give better chances to restore the hacked facebook account.
