I tried to change my Facebook password.

I gave a new password and waited for a recovery email to arrive.

I guess I was to quick: When no email came, I continued with Facebook's question, which looked like: "You received no email" (or something like that).

I gave a new email address and managed to change the password and waited for the required 24 hours.

This morning I tried to log in, and had to change the password again (now it went very quickly since I was logged into my Gmail-account).

I logged in the Facebook account with my new (Gmail) email address and the new password and it went OK except that the profile that opened is not mine: It is someone else's profile (I guess I first tried to give that for the new password).

Through my hubby's Facebook-account I am able to reach my old profile, so it still is there.

What on earth can I do to "bind" my old Heli Niemi Os Puustinen -profile to my "fake" profiles email-address (and password)?
