2 Accounts Wants To Change Personal Account

I have two accounts. One personal and one for business.  I have been trying to log onto my business account and it keeps bouncing me to my personal account.  Totally different emails and passwords.  Need help to seperate or should I just create new account.  Really don't want to but this is getting frustrating as all my work account stufff is unavailable to me now because of this.

1. Facebook does not allow 2 regular accounts. (See Facebook's Terms of Service [Sec. 1.6].) If these are both regular accounts, you need to disable one. See this Facebook page.

2. If one of these is what Facebook calls a business "Page," what you need to do is log out of the other one, delete your cookies and cache, are restart your system.

Unfortunately, Facebook only allows a person to have one account, whether personal or otherwise.

However, Facebook gives you an option to create a Business page, and right from your personal account. As the creator of that page (ie: you) you may update the page as often as you want about your Business latest news.

Also, this page is accessible to view by any Facebook member interested, and is seperate from your personal Account. 

Here is the link with information on how to get started with creating your own Business Page on Facebook

However, you will still need to deactivate one of your accounts. This link tells you how to correctly do this:
