Let me start by making an observation, since I recognize some visitors will ask me if I can help them recover their passwords or otherwise gain access to an account where they've 'neglected whatever' regarding the account, consisting of postal code, email address, etc: If you can't prove unquestionably that you are the proprietor of an account then no-one is mosting likely to help you get, since it's as well most likely that you aren't the proprietor and also are trying to have someone help you hack into somebody else's account.

Yeah, so please don't ask me to assist you recoup your password or otherwise hack right into a specific account as I can not do it for you ...

Now, all of that stated, allow's see what choices Facebook has actually set up for neglected passwords ...
