How Can I Find The Original Password I Used To Create My Facebook Page?
I have somehow lost control of my Facebook page, which I created in august of 2009. I cannot do anything within Facebook, for example click on a link, open a picture, access my account settings without it kicking me totally out of the program and taking me back to the login page. There I am prompted to enter my email address, create a new password, and access FB in that manner. However, when I do, the same thing happens to me all over again.
I made the mistake of creating a second account and I am sure that somewhere in Facebook's software coding is a safeguard that is activated, as it proably interprets these actions as either a hack or a phishing of my account.
I have managed to download a copy of all my Facebook data to my desktop, but I still need that original password in order to open the file. Can anyone help me in discovering this password. I cannot access Facebooks help pages, because when I do and try to open any topic, I get kicked back to a login page. You have no idea how frustrated I am over this.
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!!

You can request a password reset by clicking the "Forgot your password?" link located near the "Login" button on the login page. Facebook should then send you an email with a link to reset your password.
From your question however it appears likely that following this procedure has not worked for you. You might want to double-check to be sure the email address you enter is registered with Facebook. You may want to consult this Facebook page. Or perhaps try a different browser.
