Before trying to recover your old Facebook account, you are recommended to check whether you are still logged into the old Facebook account somewhere else like another browser or another device. If you find out that is true, you might “recover” the old Facebook account password without a confirmation reset code.

#2 Find My Old Facebook Account with Contact Details

If you do not have access to the target old Facebook account at all, you are able to find and recover your old Facebook account like this.

1. Open a new browser profile like a guest profile and move to the Facebook recovery page.

2. Enter an Email address or mobile number that you previously added to this account. If you choose to use your phone number, try it with and without your country code. Actually, you can also use your username.

3. It may find several Facebook accounts that meet your search. Just find yours and click This is my account.

4. Then, you will be asked how you want to receive the code to reset your old Facebook password, by email or SMS.

5. Then, Facebook will send you a security code for you to verify yourself and reset your Facebook password.

Next, just follow the guidance to finish the task.

#3 Recover the Old Facebook Account Within Its Profile Page

Being similar to the solution above, you can also recover your old Facebook account from its profile page.

1. Go to the profile page of the target Facebook account.
2. Navigate to More > Find support or report profile > I Can’t Access My Account.
3. Finally, select Recover this account and click Done.
4. Then, you will be redirected to the Reset Your Password window that is the same as what in Solution 2 right above. So, just follow the steps above to complete.

#4 Recover Old Facebook Account by Changing Its Contact Info

If you can’t access all the recovery emails or phone numbers required in the above solution, or, if your account is hacked by others, you can try to recover it by altering its contact information.

1. Click the No longer have access to these? in Step 4 of Solution 2.

2. Then, on the new page, select I Cannot Access My Email.

3. Then, Facebook will ask you for a new email address or phone number to find your old Facebook account.

4. If you have set up Trusted Contacts, you can ask the social network to help you to recover your old Facebook account. You have to remember at least one full name of your Trusted Contacts to recover all of them.

5. If you did not set up the Trusted Contacts, you might be given the option to answer one of your security questions and reset your password on the spot. This comes with a 24-hour waiting duration before you can access your old Facebook account. Otherwise, you may have to wait until Facebook gets in touch to verify your identity.

#5 Find My Old Facebook Account That Is Disabled
