If your account is phished, you should report it immediately to Facebook to regain your account.

The idea is to renew your password. To prevent the hacker from getting important information from you like bank credit cards, user ids and passwords. If your new password is not working, you have to request for new security code to reset a new password again.


You can go to
http://www.facebook.com/help/identify.php?show_form=login (click this link)
follow the onscreen instruction to identify your account and reset your present password to a new one.

And if you are having problems with the onscreen instruction, it may be helpful to look first on this step by step procedure to reset your password from these links:
