How can I recover my Facebook account if it has been hacked?

Urooj Qureshi asks:

When I try to log into Facebook with the ID, it says my password is wrong or has been changed. But the email ID on Gmail linked to my Facebook is also rejecting my password.

I signed into Facebook with another account and saw that someone has changed the profile pic and that the ID is sharing some harassing pics. I think both the accounts have been hacked. How can I recover them?
