To do that, visit Facebook\u2019s password recovery page, where you can recover Facebook account with ease. Facebook will require you to prove your identity, which can be done in four different ways:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>You can identify your friends based on the photos they are tagged in.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>You can answer security questions to initiate Facebook password recovery.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>You can use your trusted contacts to recover your Facebook account.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Or, probably the simplest method of Facebook account recovery is to provide your date of birth.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16772 size-full\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Confirm-Your-Identity.jpg\" alt=\"Confirm Your Identity\" width=\"500\" height=\"345\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"facebook_email_recovery\"><\/span><strong>Facebook Email Recovery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Often, the forgotten Facebook password is the smallest problem users have. Hackers often change all personal information associated with the Facebook account, making it impossible to send recovery information to the original address. Luckily, Facebook accounts for such situations, allowing users to specify a new email address. You can use this feature by going to the password reset page and clicking on the \u201cNo longer have access to these?\u201d link. Facebook will require you to answer your security questions, and the automated system will then make you wait 24 hours before you regain access to your account. <img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7387 size-large\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Facebook-Answer-500x171.gif\" alt=\"recover facebook\" width=\"500\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Facebook-Answer-500x171.gif 500w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Facebook-Answer-300x103.gif 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_recover_deleted_facebook_messages\"><\/span><strong>How to Recover Deleted Facebook Messages<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Who never had that one awkward, alcohol-induced conversation with the ex-girlfriend that felt utterly embarrassing the next morning. Or maybe it was a disagreement with a coworker that you thought were behind you only to find out that you need access to those messages as a form of evidence. If you have deleted the messages, we have a bad news: there\u2019s no way how you can get them back. If, on the other hand, you have merely archived them, you can just go to your inbox, click on \u201cOther\u201d and \u201cMore.\u201d A drop-box should appear, containing a link that will take you to your archived messages. Then you can just choose which messages you want to retrieve back.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recovering_messages_archived_on_your_computer\"><\/span><strong>Recovering Messages Archived on Your Computer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15705 size-full\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ddWinComicsPromo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Disk Drill data recovery app\" width=\"640\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ddWinComicsPromo-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ddWinComicsPromo-2-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ddWinComicsPromo-2-500x411.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>Centralized services such as Facebook have one major downside: you are not in direct control over your data. It\u2019s not uncommon that people manually archive some of their personal conversations, just as when people were storing letters they\u2019d received from their loved ones. A single text or word document is perfect for such purpose, but you need to make sure that you keep it safely stored.<\/p>\r\n<p>If something happens to it, a data recovery software is your first line of defense.
