Someone hacked me and changed my password and email on my laptop fb

Hi Evelyn.

It's possible you've been hacked and someone has gotten on and changed your password. Or that FB is just having a bad server day where things that have worked for ages get zapped.

What I'd recommend to be on the safe side: Go to the FB login page and then use the 'I forgot my password' link. This should prompt you, possibly for some secret-question answers, and then send a password-reset link to the e-mail account that you have linked to the FB account. Use the link and go reset your password. Of particular importance in the event that someone did hack you:

1. Make the new password distinctly different from the old one. If the old one was 'Evelyn555', don't make the next one 'Evelyn556' or 'Evelyn666'. You want a hacker to have no easy clue to the new password.
2. Change the password on the e-mail account you affiliate with your FB account. Same advice on a distinctly different PW. If someone hacked your e-mail, then they also could have sent FB a password-reset request from there. (You may even want to check the trash to see if the link was sent, used, trashed, but not deleted). In any case, make sure that the spot that's the 'forgotten password' back-up spot isn't compromised, or it'll happen again.
3. Make sure you memorize or save the new passwords in some appropriate way so that you can remember them, but no-one else can find them.
4. If you have laptops or mobile devices that 'Stay Logged In' to FB, be careful about lending them to others without explicitly opening a tab to FB first and logging out.

Hoping this is useful!

You should have no problem getting your password emailed to you if the hackers haven't changed he receiving email address.. If they have then I'd just open another Facebook page using a stage name .. and ask your original page to become friends.. If they accept then you can start to find who the are and take appropriate action.. It's easy to get a free email address at Yahoo or Hotmail etc.

That is very strange. Your account may have been hacked though, which is why they say to change all passwords regularly. I would contact them about this, it sounds like someone may have pfished you or something as well.

Here is a link for FB that will help you recover your hacked account..
https://www.facebook.com/help/www/203305893040179

Once you recover the account. Setup Login Approvals. That will send a special code to your cell phone every time someone tries to access your account from an unrecognized device. Without that special code, they can't access your account.

I don't use MSN anymore and i highly recommend using http://gmail.com and setting up the 2-step verification system.

Please change your Yahoo email password ASAP. That will help from being hacked further.

since it's a web based app, have you tried to clear your History/Cache/Password/ cookies etc settings. seems FB is remembering an bad password.

FB also has a help page http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/help/?page=174 that may lead you to a solution

U must report

can u still remember any important events in your life? try your birthday or someone special to you. Also try again sending some request. Just click forgot password then writer your log in email you used in facebook.
