If an account you created is still on Facebook, we can help you find it. You'll need to know an email address, a phone number or the username associated with your account. You may also be able to find the account using your name and the name of someone you're friends with on Facebook.

Once you find the account, you can reset your password. You can then continue using your account or delete it.

If you can't log into Facebook and need to reset your password:

1. Go to the login page at https://www.facebook.com
2. In the top right, click Can’t log in?
3. Type the email, phone number or username associated with your account, then click Search and follow the on-screen instructions

If you're logged into your Facebook account, you can change your password from your settings page. From there:

1. Click Password
2. Type your current and new password
3. Click Save Changes

When you create a new password, make sure that it's at least 6 characters long. Try to use a complex combination of numbers, letters and punctuation marks. If the password you entered isn't strong enough, try mixing together uppercase and lowercase letters or making the password longer.

The password you create should be easy for you to remember but hard for someone else to figure out. For extra security, your Facebook password should be different than other passwords that you use to log into other places, like your email or bank account.

Anyone with access to your email account can request a new password for your Facebook account. You can help keep your Facebook account safe by changing the password you use to log into your email account and using different passwords for your accounts.

To change the password you use to log into your email account (ex: your Gmail password):

1. Go to your email account
2. Find your account settings
3. Change your password
