If your Facebook account has been disabled, you'll see a disabled message when you try to log in. If you don't see this message then you're probably experiencing a login issue. Get help logging in.

We disable Facebook accounts that don't follow the Facebook Terms. Some violations include:

• Continued prohibited behavior after receiving a warning or multiple warnings from Facebook
• Unsolicited contact with others for the purpose of harassment, advertising, promoting, dating or other inappropriate conduct
• Use of a fake name
• Impersonation of a person or entity, or other misrepresentation of identity
• Posting content that doesn't follow the Facebook Terms

Please review the Facebook Statement of Rights and Responsibilities to learn more about our policies. If you think your account was disabled by mistake you can submit an appeal.

To regain access to your account, follow the instructions you see when you try to log in. For more information about what's allowed on Facebook, please review the Facebook Community Standards.

If your friend's account is disabled, they'll need to submit an appeal using the email address that was connected to their Facebook account.

Please keep in mind that we can't release information about an account to anyone but the account holder, and we won't take action on any appeals sent in on behalf of friends.

Learn more about our policies by reading the Facebook Community Standards.

Your child can submit an appeal using the email address that was connected to their Facebook account. Note that, because Facebook members 13 and older are considered authorized account holders, we can't give you information about the account or take any action on the account at your request.

If your friend can't get into their account because it was taken over by someone else, please tell them to go to the Hacked Accounts section of the Help Center to get immediate help.

If your friend is sick, hospitalized or otherwise incapacitated, we might be able to help you remove their account.

If your friend passed away, please report their profile to be memorialized. Memorializing an account helps keep it secure by preventing anyone from logging into it.

It's possible that your friend's account is sending out spam because their computer has a virus or bad software, or that their login info was phished. Here's what you can do to help:

• Report the spam
• Tell your friend to visit the Help Center to get help cleaning up and securing their account
