Alice,

if you have tried everything covered in the article above, check for comments below for potential ways to take. Not much else I can add right now. I will, however, write another article about this topic.

My Facebook’s been hacked & there’s some really embarrassing, personal stuff in my profile! What do I do? I really want my Facebook back. If I don’t do anything the hacker will read all my personal stuff.

Karen,

You can only remove email addresses if you can still log into your account. If that is no longer possible, you have to report your account as compromised (see above) and/or try other ways to identify yourself as the real owner (also see above).

Hey! I have the exact same problem! Im typing in new email adresses so they can send me a confirmating email so that Facebook would then assist me in recovering my account, but it does not send me ANY emails. In fact it tells me something went wrong and to try it another time. Its been 2 days…
Have you figured out your problem yet?

Apha,

I’m not sure how your friend wants to restore the messages. Would be curious to hear!

If you see suspicious logins, be sure to double-check your alternative email addresses and change your password.

I cannot log in to my facebook still. I seem to have even locked myself out. Whenever I attempt to change my email (through numerous hoops, although I believe someone is doing this to my account to change the email to theirs) it says, “Sorry, your account is temporarily unavailable. Please log in to http://www.facebook.com from a computer and follow the instructions given”

Karen,

Try other ways of identify your account or report it as compromised. You are not the first person this has happened to and you will not be the last managing to get back their account. Good luck!

My email was changed by the hacker! When It tells me to identify my email, it is not mine that is blanked out. Someone else has put their email onto my account and I can’t change it.. What do I do!! My emails have been compromised as well.

There are several other ways to recover your account, for example through alternative email addresses or even by recognizing pictures of your friends. Did you try everything outlined in the post above?
