Hello gailiz51,

If the account is locked due to too many unsuccessful log in attempts then the following link explains how you would unlock it:

Access Locked Account

However, if you were locked out of your account due to a violation of Facebook's Terms and Policies then please continue reading

The timeframe of the lock or suspension to your account was set by Facebook, which you should have received an email regarding this suspension. However, this can range from one hour to 30 days, and up before lifted.

There is a form you can submit to Facebook regarding a locked account which can be accessed here

Much appreciation to those who acknowledge our members for their contribution toward finding a solution.

SoCalWoman's link (in her second paragraph) will not provide the information sought. Sorry.

It's not usually possible to fix the time in which an account will be inaccessible.

If it's a maintenance issue, the problem will ordinarily last only a few hours. (Facebook doesn't do site maintenance on all accounts at the same time, so it's possible that some of your friends will have full access even though you don't.) If the issue lasts longer than 24 hours, you may want to try clearing your browser's cache and cookies. If that doesn't work, submit this Facebook form.There are however two other possibilities;

1. Facebook has determined suspicious or deceptive activity that may violate Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. To dispute that, you can file this form.

Or...

2. If the above solutions don't seem to apply, file the report at http://www.facebook.com/help/contact/?id=357439354283890.
