Here is all the info I could find on why this is happening. Hope it helps.

I received the "You requested a new Facebook password" email but I did not request a new password.

If you have received a Facebook password reset email that you did not request, it is likely that someone accidentally entered your email address or username when attempting to log in to their account. This often happens if you have a popular username or email address. As long as you do not click the link contained in the email, no action will be taken, and your account will remain secure.

However, if you receive a second email confirming that your password was reset, please visit the our Security section and take steps to secure your account. /help/?faq=17511

  1. Check the Junk/Spam mail folder in your email account in case the email to reset your password was misdirected by your email provider.
  2. Remember to check the inbox of all email addresses and mobile numbers to which you may have sent the password reset email. When you request a password reset, you will see a list of any email addresses and mobile numbers confirmed on your account. Note that for security reasons, parts of the email addresses and phone numbers will be hidden (e.g., [email protected], xxxxxxx5555).
  3. If you’re unable to find the password reset email, try to reset your password again by clicking here.
  4. After requesting a password reset a second time, if you still do not receive the email, wait 24 hours and try again. We may be experiencing temporary site issues that are affecting password reset emails.
  5. If you’re still not receiving the password reset email after the trying the four steps above, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to make sure they’re not blocking email traffic coming from Facebook.


Tip: For security reasons, we limit the number of password resets that can be requested for an account in a short period of time. If you request to reset your password too many times too quickly, you may be blocked from requesting more for a short period of time. If this happens, wait 24 hours and try again.

 

I can’t receive the email to reset my password, because I no longer have access to the email address associated with my account.

If you no longer have access to an email address associated with your Facebook account, you will need to contact your email service provider in order to regain access to that address.

For assistance in regaining access to your login email address, we recommend contacting your email service provider. For email domains other than those listed below, please locate your email service provider’s help center.


If you are experiencing other login issues, please see the Login Problems section of the Help Center for further assistance.
