Facebook log in password reset
Just below the log in password entry field on Facebook's sign in page is a
link:
Click on that and you'll be taken to a page containing something like
this:
The first step is to enter the distorted words presented in the CAPTCHA - this is
used to prevent automated hacking attempts by "proving" that you're human.
Having confirmed that I am the rightful owner of the account, by having
accessed the email associated with the account, Facebook now allows me to set
my own new password.
This lists all the sites for which Firefox has saved your password. You can
narrow it down by typHow do you remember your - firefox_are_you_sure.pngarch box as I've done here.
Naturally I've blurred my password here, but in reality it's clear as
day.
Then, enter the email address you use to log in to Facebook, or your mobile
phone number as registered in your Facebook account, and press
Continue. Facebook will then ask for final confirmation:
That's the official, and proper way to regain access to your account: by
proving ownership of the email account (or mobile number, which works
similarly) and then setting a new password.
Facebook log in password recovery
I need to make it clear that if you want to recover your existing password
you simply might not be able to.
That being said, if you've had your browser remember the password for you,
it might be frighteningly easy.
I'll use Firefox as my example.
Click on Tools, OptioHow do you remember your - firefox_saved_passwords.pngSecurity tab click on the Saved Passwords...
button:
Click on Show Passwords. After a little extra paranoia:
If you use Internet Explorer you'll need to download a separate tool.
Nirsoft has several password
recovery tools including "IE PassView" which will expose the passwords
saved by Internet Explorer.
All this assumes, of course, that you've allowed your browser to save your
passwords for you. If you have not, then this technique will not work.
Security Issue
The security issue I mentioned?
If you allow your browser to save passwords, anyone with access to your
machine can perform the browser password recovery steps outlined above to
discover what those passwords are.
Make sure that your machine is secure.
WITH REGARDS
GUHAN
wait for a few hours before trying again some web sites it takes at least 24 hrs to reset others less but remember the next time you sign in and if it still fails the time (take a note)you have since your last login attempt it will be that + more before you should try again
hope this helps
