How to recover a Facebook account

Facebook is the largest social network, founded in 2004. It allows users to create profiles, exchange messages, post photos and videos, and share personal updates and news. The inability to access your account can occur for various reasons. Let’s take a closer look at how to recover Facebook. It’s worth noting that there are situations where nothing can be done. In such cases, it’s necessary not to recover Facebook but to register a new account. If you don’t want to use your personal mobile phone, the SMSBOWER service offers the option to use a virtual number. This allows you to receive an SMS with an activation code via the internet.

How to Unlock a Facebook Account

Recovery is not always required. It’s important to note that Facebook is blocked in Russia. When attempting to access the site, users will see a window with the following content:

The information may vary depending on the browser being used. As for the mobile app, it displays a white screen.

This does not mean that the user has been personally blocked. Roskomnadzor has restricted access to the resource from Russian IP addresses. Since Facebook is blocked, simply accessing it from another country will resolve the issue without any access problems.

Another scenario involves account access being restricted by security algorithms. There are several reasons why a Facebook account might be blocked:

• Violation of community rules (posting prohibited content, spamming, or advertising);
• Suspicious activity (adding a large number of friends too quickly, sending numerous requests in a short period, logging in from unusual devices or locations);
• Security issues (suspected account hacking or multiple login attempts from different IP addresses);
• Copyright violations (repeatedly posting content without permission);
• Multiple complaints from other users;
• Use of automated tools or bots.

In any case, the user will be notified of the block. When attempting to log into the account, the following message will appear:

Additionally, an email will be sent to the address provided during registration.

To recover a deleted Facebook account, you need to contact the administration through any available means. You’ll need to describe the issue, and the request will be reviewed within a few days of submission.

How to Recover Facebook Using a Phone Number or Email

Let’s consider the simplest option: having access to the phone number or email address listed in the contact details. Open the login window and click the “Forgot Password?” button.

To recover Facebook “My Page”, simply follow the on-screen instructions.

A verification code will be sent to the specified contact via email or SMS. After that, you’ll only need to set a new password.

How to Recover a Facebook Account Without a Phone Number or Email Access

Let’s start with a scenario where the contact details are known. Go to the relevant page. By default, the system offers to recover the Facebook account using a phone number or email. Click “Try Another Way.”

You’ll be presented with several options available for the specific account.

None of them work? Or you don’t even remember what details were used during registration? In this case, the social network offers another approach. Find your profile through friends, relatives, or a direct link. You’ll need to use someone else’s profile to access the system. Then, follow these steps:

1. Click the “…” icon (three horizontal dots) under the cover photo.

   

2. Select the option “Get Support or Report Profile” from the list.

   

3. From the list, choose the option “Other.”

   

4. Now select “Recover This Account.”

   

To regain access to Facebook in this way, you’ll need to prove your identity. Moderators will require appropriate documents. Therefore, if you’ve used a fake name, recovery won’t be possible.

What to Do If Recovering a Facebook Account Is Impossible

There are situations where nothing can be done, and the account becomes permanently lost. Sometimes, it’s not possible to use your real phone number to register a new profile. This is where SMSBOWER comes to the rescue. The service allows you to purchase a virtual number. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this and use it for registration:

1. Create an account on SMSBOWER.
2. Top up your balance, as virtual numbers are paid for using your account balance.

3. Proceed to purchase. First, select the service (Facebook), then the country. You can sort the results by price.

   
4. Purchase a virtual number.

5. You’ll be redirected to the activation history section. The activation code will be sent here.

   

Now, proceed to register a new account. When the system asks for a mobile phone number, enter your virtual number. The created account will have the same functionality as those registered with a real number.

This is an excellent alternative for situations where recovering a Facebook password is not possible.
