Contact your service provider to retrieve e-mail access to your email address. If the domain of your email account is different from those listed below, please contact the helpdesk of your mail provider:
Gmail ---> https://www.google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd
Hotmail --> https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx
Yahoo --> https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/

Once you've regained access to email, try to change your Facebook password here.

If you believe your Yahoo! account has been taken over, send an email to "[email protected]" using another email account (a separate Yahoo! Mail account, Windows Live/Hotmail, or Gmail).

Be sure to provide as many details about your account as possible, such as your username, date/time and personal account-related information so they can verify your identity. Being polite about the situation might help as well, as they can refuse assistance to anyone for any reason.

If/when you get your account back, the first thing you should do is change your password to a secure password that isn't being used on any other site. If you used Yahoo! Mail for your other online accounts (Facebook, YouTube, Amazon, Ebay, etc), you should also change the passwords on those accounts as well, as the attacker could have retrieved your password using your email address.
