Deactivating A Page--page Comes Up Another Name.

I have a Facebook page that I want to deactivate. According to Facebook instructions I went to "account" then to "settings" and my husband's name came up as the account holder. What can I do as my husband wants to keep his page?

First of all, you need to distinguish between deactivating and deleting. The two actions have the same effect, but after deactivation your account can be restored. For deactivation, click "Deactivate your account" at: http://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=security. For deletion, go to: https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?sr=1....

If it's your account and not your husband's, deactivate or delete it regardless of whose name appears. If it's truly your husband's account, or if you've both been using it, leave it alone.
