Enter Facebook without a password if the account has been hacked

For many people, seeing their Facebook account hacked and made inaccessible can become a real nightmare, considering all the personal information and photos we have shared and saved on the social network.
Before the offender can abuse our Facebook page, delete personal information, change photos and write inappropriate messages, we can still attempt account recovery.
I know we are no longer able to enter our Facebook social profile, in this guide we will show you how recover the account even without a password and report the theft but, above all, we will show you how prevent violations in the future, thus making life much more difficult for hackers.

1) How to reset the password

The simplest method to enter Facebook without a password if the account has been hacked is to connect to the Facebook login page and click on the entry above Don’t remember how to log into your account anymore?

On the next page we will be asked to enter the email address we used to log into Facebook or alternatively the phone number (if we had signed up from the mobile app), then click on Near.
If the email is valid and has not yet been changed by the hacker, we will receive an email at the address where there is a temporary code, which we can use to log back into our account, bypassing the password request.
Since the email is personal, the hacker will not be able to prevent us from re-entering the account even if he changes the password!
We then use the code provided in the email or directly click on the link provided in the same to start the password reset procedure.

If we used the phone number as a username for Facebook, we will receive the security code as an SMS.
In both cases we enter the code in the recovery window we saw earlier and click on Keep it going; a new Facebook page will open, where you will be asked to choose a new password for your account; choose a sufficiently robust one (we recommend at least 8 letters and numbers, with at least one capital letter) and finally click on Keep it going to confirm the password change.
We will have regained access to our account, now we can do everything necessary to increase the security of the account and chase away any suspicious logins (as we will see at the end of the guide).

2) How to recover a seriously hacked account (change email)

If the hacker who hacked the account is crafty and smart enough to change the email address associated with the account (thus thwarting our recovery efforts), there is still a possibility: you can enter the username, (in my case pomhey because my profile page is www.facebook.com/pomhey) by searching our page on Google (the name is present in the link) or enter your own name and surname.
In this case, we will be asked to confirm the registered email or the telephone number already entered in the system; if they have changed due to the hacker we have to click on the link Can’t you access it anymore?
We enter a new valid email address or phone number and click on Keep it going; in the next window we click on Show my trusted contacts and we type the full name of one of them.
Once the verification is complete, a special link will be sent to our email with which to restore access, setting the exact email and changing the password to the account.
Alternatively we will have to indicate a new e-mail address to get in touch with Facebook, prove our identity (by requesting documents such as identity card and social security number) e receive a new password within a short time (checks will be carried out on the documents and on the IP used, so as to prove that we are the legitimate owners).

3) Report the compromised account

That’s not all: even if you manage to log into your account, the account may still remain hacked or hacked, particularly if we become aware that we are sending spam, viruses or advertisements to friends via private messages.
In this case it can report the compromised account to Facebook which will clean up access and all messages or posts generated since the violation occurred, preventing further problems.

4) How to avoid theft and protect your Facebook account

If a hacker manages to get into the account, would leave visible traces in the account settings -> Security, under the heading Active sessions.
We must therefore terminate the suspicious activity (in particular on devices and IPs that we do not recognize) and proceed immediately to change the password, so as to prevent any danger.
Also they can enable alerts for unauthorized access, l’access approval and you can also set a different and temporary password to access Facebook from external applications and clients or on unsecured PCs, so as not to leave any traces (temporary passwords can only be used once).
After doing everything possible to regain control of the hacked Facebook account it is important to inform friends about what is happening, in case the hacker has abused their profile to spread viruses, advertisements or nasty messages.
If you can’t log into your account, contact your Facebook friends by phone, email or other social networks and ask them to notify mutual friends.
