Facebook account help. Completed thanks
« on: Sunday 26 December 10 11:54 GMT (UK) »
I do not use my facebook account a lot, but I had to reset my password yesterday I had a confirmation email from facebook with a code to enter, instead of allowing me back on my account it has given me a new account. I can see myself on my old account so it still exists, but unable to access it tried the help pages, did not seem to given an solution. Any ideas ?

Regards
Sirius

I don't use Facebook myself but have shown this to my daughter who is an avid user, she says it sounds a bit odd and perhaps you should email Facebook support and ask them:

Scroll down to bottom of page on Facebook, click Help (at far right), pick whichever help item sounds most fitting - probably Log In and password and from there contact support.

Hope that helps a bit.

Thank you cawood and HeatherLynne I have managed to sort it out now without contacting FB. I agree not a good idea to put any info about yourself. I have only a few friends on FB who I have known for a very long time.

Thanks and regards
Sirius
