I wish to deactivate my account and cannot remember my facebook password HOW DO I DEACTIVATE ACCOUNT WHEN I CANNOT REMEMBER PASSWORD?
The second option is Permanent
Deletion which, as long as you do not attempt to access the account within
14 days of deletion, completely removes your account and all its settings,
associations, links and other content. The only way to for a user to
participate fully in the Facebook community, beyond 14 days after having
deactivated an account, would be to open a brand new account with new settings,
associations, links and other content.
Deactivation
Account > Security > Deactivate your account >
select reason for deactivation > confirm > password > confirm >
after 24 hours, if required, account can be reactivated by following the same
procedure (Reactivate your account).
Permanent
Deletion
Facebook Help Center > (click on link) https://ssl.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account>
type "delete my account" in the Search Box > Submit > password > copy
and enter 'Captcha' security code > OK > confirm? > OK > do not
access the Facebook account again within 14 days.

Two Options are available for users who wish, for whatever reason, to stop using their Facebook account. From your question, I would expect you to choose the 2nd option but I will give you both options so you have all the necessary information in your possession to make a fully informed decision that best fits your circumstances.
The first option is Deactivation which, from 24 hours after deactivation, makes your account invisible but the account can be reactivated, restoring exactly the same settings, associations, links and other content at any point after 24 hours from deactivation.
The second option is Permanent Deletion which, as long as you do not attempt to access the account within 14 days of deletion, completely removes your account and all its settings, associations, links and other content. The only way to for a user to participate fully in the Facebook community, beyond 14 days after having deactivated an account, would be to open a brand new account with new settings, associations, links and other content.
