Unable To Log Into My Account

A few days ago I received an email on my Yahoo account telling me that someone had tried to log in to my Facebook account.  I went to my Facebook account and reported it under "hacking".  I was required to change my password for Facebook, Yahoo and what they have listed as my work email account.  1.  The work email account is not mine, it is my husband's. (We both work at Stanford.).  2.  I'm in an endless loop having to change passwords for Facebook and Yahoo.

When you try to log in to your Facebook account you get a message saying Incorrect Email/Password Combination. I assume you have tried to recover your password using reset password feature. If not, click here to give it a try. If this won’t work there are good chances that your account has been hacked.
