Let me first start out by saying that I do NOT work for Facebook. I am a facebooker just like you. Sometimes people dont know that when they are posting their question, so I thought I would clear that up.

It sounds more like Facebook's "Acceptable Use Policy".

Let me explain,

Unfortunatly, Facebook is quite spammed. All the time Facebook finds ways to stop spammers, and spammers find ways to trick facebook. Due to that, ordinary users like us can get penalized. Especially new users. Those that have an account for several years won't get penalized that easily.

You can always verify your account by the phone number. That way, they will cut you a little slack.

Facebook implement a policy called "Acceptable use"

They can set limits to how often you can use a feature.

If you use it too often, they can stop you from using it for a while. Not only is this to stop you from spamming other users, it's there to provide protection to facebook (too many requests can bring the server to its knees, which means facebook goes down).

I suggest you wait for the feature to be unlocked (Usually 24 hours), and then tone it down on the usage. This includes reseting passwords, or changing any information. If you send out to many friend requests, they can lock up your account. :(
