Facebook Locked Me Out Exceeded Hourly Security Attempt First Attempt 14 Hours A

Facebook locked me out, exceeded hourly security attempts.the first attempt 14 hours ago was for missing my kindergarten teachers name. Lol. The trouble started after i had made a nice comment about a visit to the Holocaust website. I fell asleep after that and about 2:47 am I awoke and found I needed to have my account security checked???? Something terribly wrong with Facebook when decent folk have to go through this?Ruined an entire day! How to get back in. It is said that you have to wait or try to log back in? But if you're locked out how could you? I have been to their forums very intelligent helpers but they all say the same thing when what people want is to get past the security lock down and fix the issue. Their automated service is locking people out for forgetting their kindergarten teachers name for heavens sake? There are innocent people who have done nothing committed no crime but we are penalized. While they have x-rated, jihadists, and every other type of criminals on there. Decent folk have to get harassed like this.

Sorry for your problems. If your're asked to wait a set time, you have to wait for that time; or If you're asked to wait until you can log back in, you have to keep trying. (Sorry.) Your only other option--and it's not a very good one, I know--is to file the form at https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/?id=260749603972907. Good luck!
