Someone has my facebook, have tried to change password it just reverts back and can't log in. changed my profile pic, contact people I don't talk to and rude comments at sites I visit. What can I do?

Hello, Kathy -

1. Establish a new, separate email address. Use an email provider which is different than the one you currently use . . . Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo,Mail.com, etc. Make sure you use a strong password for that new email account and write it down somewhere and keep it in a safe place, in case you forget the password..

2. Open your Facebook account (your current email address + the latest Facebook password you established) and choose Settings.

Edit your Facebook Account Contact email address to the new one you just established and make it your Primary Email Address. Plus remove the email address you previously used as your Primary Email Address.

If you have a cell phone, make sure your cell phone number is provided as an alternate contact.

Save those changes.

3. Then, change your Facebook Password. You should see Security and Login in the left sidebar. Click or tap on that. Follow the on-screen instructions for changing your Password. Make your new Facebook password a strong one. Write it down, along with your new FB login / ID and keep it in a safe location so that you can refer to it if you forget it. Save that change.

4. Log out of your FB account.

5. Log back into your FB account, with the new ID/email address and new Password. NOTE: DO NOT allow your FB login and password to be saved through your browser and other devices. Saving that login information makes it easier for someone else to get into your account.

Only time will tell if the changes you make, as I have described above, will keep out anyone who was logging into your FB account.

Best wishes.

make a new account and go to facebook help or use some one else's account and do the same. facebook may close the account down, but at least the account will be close. if not they will ask you for your old details, in future put a facebook lock on your account then only changes can be changed by your phone number, they send you a text and you have to say its you or they ask for a number, you can even lock the account to your devices, up to 10 devices. then if anyone tries to log on it will not let them and inform you that there is strange activity on your login.

There have been alot of issues regarding texas Holdem Poker on Facebook. Change password and there is alot of people logging on. Could have a breach from someone else. Better be safe than sorry

Facebook has been having some issues with pictures here lately. The problem you're having is on their side (nothing to do with your profile settings or anything) so you'll have to submit a question to them. You should be able to contact them at this help page.

Wait for a while and recheck the link.

If it doesn't work still don't hesitate to contact the facebook support. They will surely help you.

Hi,

Sounds like someone has hacked your password. Change it asap to something complicated. Make sure you don't give your password to any friends or family members.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Issue: i tried to log in to facebook from my phone and when i enter my info and click ok it only takes me back to home screen and says i need to log in. i tried loggin in on someone else\'s account and it worked. what could it be?

Causes and solution:

1) There are chances that the Facebook Account login account and Passwords has been mistyped.

2) There are also chances of the Facebook password hacked.

Note: I recommend you try logging into the FB account in the Computer and check if it is working.

If not the passwordis hacked and you need to answer the security question then get back the access. DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD AS SOON AS YOU LOGIN.

You can also check this link: http://www.facebook.com/mobile/ Use that application in the mobile and try logging using that.. remember to uninstall the previous application you're using before you're installing this.

The above following steps should resolve the issue.

Revert me if you have any problems or need more attention on this issue :)

Your Facebook account remains yours even if you cancel.
If all that happened is that the wrong picture was uploaded, you can change that.
Log into Facebook.
Click on Profile at the top of the web page.
Click on Photos tab at the top area of the profile page.
Click the photo you want to change and select change profile picture Link is above the photo)

Facebook accounts are based on email addresses. Your account, once confirmed, will have friends you have added, photos you have uploaded, and postings made by your friends and family.
Your account could have the same friends as someone else. They are called mutual friends.
Please add more information to clarify the problem if this does not help your situation.

Hi,
I had the same problem when someone guessed my facebook password and started writing messages to my friends. I found out that I couldn't fully delete the Facebook profile, but I deleted all the information/photos etc and applications and friends from it.
That was before Facebook changed over to the new look, though, but you should still be able to delete all the information..
Hope this helps
