How to Get My Facebook Back When It's Been Deactivated

Reactivation takes effect immediately.

Deactivation is a way to take a leave of absence from Facebook with the option to return at any time. When you reactivate your Facebook account, all of your profile information is restored to the state it was in when you deactivated the account. Always maintain the email address associated with your Facebook account while you are in deactivated status -- if you erase the email address Facebook has on file for you, you won't be able to reactivate your profile.

Instructions

1. Point your Internet browser to the Facebook homepage.

2. Enter your email address or username and password into the login fields at the top of the screen. Click the blue "Log In" button.

3. Go to your email account and wait for a new email from Facebook. Open the email and click on the link provided to confirm your identity and reactivate your account.
