  • The faster you take action the better. 
  • Take a look at the various answers on this linked Facebook Help center page that comes closest to your situation.
  • Although it would seem as if they only changed your password, they probably also changed your Facebook emailing address.
  • Did you google your name and facebook to check what you can see of your account?
  • Did you double check access to the account (check for caps lock left on?)
  • The above page and this link to Facebook will refer you to Account Security.
  • Click on My account is hacked. Unless you know that one of the other 2 options is more significant
  • That will drop down information with the following wording: If your account is sending out spam (ex: advertisements or suspicious links) or was taken over by someone else, "secure it here"
  • Click on secure it here.

If you still need help, get in touch with Facebook  1-800-777-7798 during business hours.
