Facebook - My Account Was Hacked And Is Sending A Link To All Of My Friends.

I am no longer logged in, and it doesn't recognize my e-mail address and password.  How do I get in touch with Facebook to straighten this out?

This happened to me.  First change your Facebook password.  Then notify your friends via post that your account has been hacked and that you did not send out any videos or emails.  Then run a virus scan on your computer to make sure you do not have any worms.  If you think you do, let me know and I can direct you on fixing that too.  Good Luck!
