I Have Forgotten My Password. My Email Address For Fb Is No Longer Valid.

FB help center asks a security question (which I "passed, of course) and asks for an alternate email address. They say that they send an email to the alternate address to get back up online with them, however, unless the alternate address appears on your profile, they never send an email. How can I access my old (now defunct) email? My entire profile is inaccessable to me!

You can request a password reset by clicking the "Forgot your password?" link located near the "Login" button on the login page. Facebook will then send you an email with a link to reset your password.

You must be able to use an email address registered with Facebook. Otherwise, if you can't recall your password, you're out of luck. Sorry.
