Nice to meet you, *****!
Could you please provide a phone number or email associated with your account?
*****@gmail.com
Thanks
would it be easier over the phone?
Have you tried recovering your account using your email or phone?
no, I don’t know how
Got you
I would recommend the following steps to regain access to your account:
how do I send a recovery code? I don’t have a smart phone so I cannot access it that way.
It's okay, you can send it your email.
Please let me know how it is going.
When I go to the site you suggested it takes me to my new blank Facebook page. There is no place to search using my email
Do you have 'Forgot password' button on that page under your account?
no because when I had that I was able to put in a new password.
What happened after you put in a new password?
it took me to a new blank page with my name on it
Do you have any options or messages on that blank page?
it is set up for me to create a new Facebook identity. I had one message from someone who has been harassing me for a while whom I don’t know but that was it
I see
Could please try opening this link in another browser or incognito mode?
----> facebook.com/login/identify
I don’t know what you mean by that?
- Copy the link with your mouse or CTRL + C ----> facebook.com/login/identify
- In the Safari app on your laptop, choose File > New Private Window
- Put the link in the search bar of your new private Window > Enter
I am using a tablet and have no idea how to do all that.
What tablet do you use?
apple iPad 8th generation
Noted
Do you have the Facebook app installed on your iPad?
yes
Okay
ok
Thanks
Please follow these steps on your iPad:
Ok done
Got it! Could you please check if you can open Facebook now?
It takes me to the new page not my original one
Is there any chance your original Facebook page was linked to another your email address?
possibly
Got it!
I would recommend the following steps to regain access to your account:
