Someone has used my email address to open another Facebook account. How do I get this email address restored to my account?

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.

Hmm... someone might have hacked your account. Try checking your inbox from the email provider your Facebook account is associated with. For example, if your email address has a domain name of yahoo.com, then log in to Yahoo, check your inbox. Facebook sends you an email right away if your Facebook account was hacked. The email they send informs you that your email address was replaced with a new one. Then it asks you if that is your own doing, you can just ignore it. But since you suspect someone is using your account, then that person might have replaced your email address with his. If that is the case, then there's an option in that email Facebook sent you to 'let them know' or 'secure your account'. Click on it. If you're successful, you should be able to get hold of your account back. And Facebook system will even prompt you to change your password.

Moral of the story? You should not give any of your email addresses to anyone. Not even to family members, relatives or friends. If the computer you're using is also used by other people and there are no separate user accounts for each [meaning everyone can log into that computer as administrator then one safety tip is to NOT save your password in Mozilla Firefox. If you do and another person who is Internet savvy clicked on the browser's Tools menu [Tools>Options>Security>Saved Passwords] when you're away, then that person can hack your account/s. If you're the owner of the computer and you're sharing it with other people, better create a guest account or user accounts for each person who uses your computer, but make sure you're the administrator of your own computer and that each of you has his/her own password when logging on to the computer.

You will have to have a different email address and then just go to www.facebook.com and sign up using that email address.

Someone broke into my account contact and closed the cuenta.que can do?, To recover it.
An account on a social networking website such as Facebook can be a prime target for hackers. If you have lost access to your Facebook account because it has been hacked, your first priority is to regain access to the account before the hacker can send messages to your friends that could result in their accounts being compromised as well.
Facebook provides tools that you can use to recover a compromised account, based on whether or not your personal email account has been hacked as well.If You Can Access Your Email
1. Open a Web browser and navigate to the Facebook account recovery page using the Resource link.
Click the link after Step 1 on the page.
2. Click the link after Step 1 on the new page to begin the process of resetting your Facebook password.

Click the "Search" button.
A security check window appears.
Type the words that appear on the screen, and then click "Submit."
Click the "Reset Password" button.
Facebook sends an email to the address linked to your account.

just log in to your email address that you used when you create your facebook account.
example if you used your yahoo email address when you created your facebook go to www.yahoo.com then log in to your yahoo account then go to inbox look for facebook confirmation and click it. thats it.

No, an email address is used to identify one - and one only - account on facebook. One of you will need to open another email account.

If you need a specific word or name in your email address, (example: [email protected]) try opening an account with another provider such as AOL. (example: [email protected]).

Anyway, facebook only allows one (specific) email account for each facebook account.

you may have to create a new account using a new E Mail address to give you access into facebook while working with them to restore your account. you can get a free email account from google mail of yahoo mail.

which account you can't access?Is is the Facebook or Msn account? If you can access your msn account, you need to change your password immediately and use your email to access the Facebook account. Now, if you can't access your msn account, click on 'Forgot your password' and restore it by anwering questions (your question you saved when you first did this account)

you used the 1st email address for both accounts? okk. well, the last account you made will be the only one using that email. you are not able to log into that first one because it doesnt have an email to it... and if i guess corectly facebook probably deleted. try contacting that someone v.i.a. email/ text.
