Ann,

don’t panic, there are several things you can do!

You may still have access to the eMail address you used to sign up your account or any other eMail addresses you registered with Facebook. Hopefully none of them was changed because you can use them reset your password and regain control over your account.

Just go to Facebook, click on the “Forgot Password” link, and follow the instructions. Other than an eMail address you can also enter your phone number (if you specified one), your user name, or your full name and the full name of a friend to regain access to your account. This will let you reset your password and a new one will be sent to your eMail address.

You should also check out the Facebook Help Center. There is an entry on what to do when your account was compromised: https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=1023

We also had similar questions, you might find more answers there:

And finally, do you know how your password was stolen? Check out this article to get an idea and eventually prevent it in the future:
