Facebook account got hacked! Let’s say you’re one of the unfortunate who’s who lost their FB account to some fraudsters hacking and plunder.
– The first thing you might want to do is block your account after retrieving it, of course, making it impossible for whoever has your credentials to log in to your account and post dumb shit.

– Secondly, you might want to login to your account and thoroughly go through your personal details and make sure they haven’t changed anything while you were shut away.

However, this isn’t possible because the hacker will at once after having gained access to your account on Facebook change your email id and the phone number so it’s nearly impossible for you to gain access to your account again and reset the above credentials.

Now before anything else, try to login to FB via the normal login page, with the password and username you remember. This should take you to a page for recovering your account by showing you a variety of recovery methods.

Follow these steps in this case:

  2. Try login in with your username and the password you remember.

Recover Facebook account with security question

Method 3: if you don’t have access to your login email id or your registered phone number.

Mostly always the hacker after getting access to your account replaces the login email id as well as the registered mobile number so it becomes impossible to recover your account this way. This is where that stupid little security question you answered during account registration matters. There are two things FB doesn’t let users change once they’ve registered. Their username and the answer to their security question. Next, we detail on a method to recover your account using your security question.

  1. Go to the main FB login page and try logging in with the credentials you know. If not possible, click the link titled, “Forgotten account”. This should take you to a page like the one shown here [insert pic].
  2. Now in this page, enter your username or your past email id. The server should recognize you and your account. Now you should see your account profile picture, your name and all that.
  3. Since you don’t have access to your email or your phone number click on “No longer have access to these?”.
  4. You should now be in a page which requests that you give a new email id or phone number. Enter your new email id or phone number.
  5. Follow the page further and you will be asked to answer your security question. Answer this correctly and you’re done. Fb will take almost 24 hours to verify your new email id and once that’s done, you’ll have access to your FB account like before.

Conclusion

However, there have been instances when FB has declined to go with this and block accounts as it is without allowing to register with the new email id. If this happens, there isn’t anything you can do that will help you regain your account. In such cases, this just isn’t possible, and you’ll have to register for a new account.
