answer to the security question and select the option to send message to close friend and get the code from them and enter or you can select no longer access to the above and answer the security question and you r done .
it would take a day to fb to verify you and provide back you the access!!!

Tina wrote an excellent article about Facebook account recovery when you can no longer log in:

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/recover-facebook-account-longer-log/

In the article, the option for you should be #2, in which case you will need to be able to answer a security question. If you cannot, then you would proceed to option #3, where you would indicate who your trusted friends are and proceed with a recovery from a password sent to your friends.

It’s actually a pretty ingenious design. Hope that was of use to you – good luck with the recovery!

there are other ways of recovery. I forgot my password last month. when i was visiting my parents. It told me log in from a machine that I had previously used for this account. so when i came to my home and logged in from my own pc . it gave me the option to enter my birthday and i was able to recover my account

Get a new sim of the same number you previously which you can easily do from telecom provider. Ask facebook to Send the verification code again and put it in there.

can facebook team give a chance to recover disabled account..i apreciate my fault,and i never do it again.

susendeep dutta

Since you admit that you had violated Facebook’s terms and conditions and are apologizing here,you had no option rather than waiting for your account to get functional.
