How to Reset Facebook Password

Suddenly you attempt to login to your Facebook profile. Perhaps you have simply forgotten your password or worst case your Facebook account security has been compromised. Having had this happen to me, I can help you reset your Facebook password and restore your peace of mind. You will be back networking with your friends, family and coworkers in no time.

Instructions

1. Go to your computer bring up the Facebook login screen like you normally would. Do not fill in any information.

2. Click on the link above your Facebook user name and password that states forgot your password. This brings you to a different screen.

3. Fill in the email address associated or on file with your Facebook account. If you cannot remember, keep trying different email addresses until you do.

4. Click enter and a Facebook reset link will be sent to your email so you can recover your password. It usually takes up to 5 minutes. Check your spam email folder if the email does not appear in your inbox.

5. Click the link in your email and answer any security questions by Facebook. This brings back to the Facebook website.

6. Reset your password with a phrase you will remember mixed in with 1 to 2 numbers or more. Record this in a notebook or on a safe place. Use a different password than you would for your email. This decreases your chances of having both websites compromised.

Tips & Warnings

• Email your friends if you think your account has been taken over or broken into by someone else. This lets them know you did not post or send those items to them.

• Keep your profile private and do not divulge anything you would not want a stranger to know.
