How to Reset a Facebook Password on a Desktop

If you're logged out of your Facebook account, and forgot your password, you can reset it in a few steps (most of the time).

Here's what to do from Facebook on the desktop in a browser:

1. If you're on a device that was recently logged in to your Facebook account, Facebook may be able to save the day by presenting you with Recent Logins on Facebook.com. If you see your account profile, select it to log in to your account automatically.

   

2. If you're on a new device or Facebook doesn't remember your last login, navigate to the Facebook Find Your Account page.

   

   Alternatively, from the login page, select Forgot Password.

3. Enter your full name or username. Then, select Search.

   

   If you enter an email address or phone number and Facebook finds a match, you can have a password reset code sent to you.

4. Facebook will show you matching search results. Select This Is My Account if you see your profile picture, or select I am Not in This List.

   If you selected I am Not in This List, Facebook asks for a friend's name to identify your account.

   

5. If you selected your account, Facebook will display part of the email address or phone number associated with the account.

6. If you recognize and can access the email or phone number, choose one to receive the password reset code and select Continue.

   

7. If you found your account but no longer have access to the phone number or email you set up, Facebook can't verify your identity.

   

8. If you found your account and selected a method for receiving your reset code, enter the security code you received and select Continue.

   

9. Enter a new password and select Continue. You've successfully changed your password.

   

10. Facebook displays a message advising you to log out of other devices in case someone else has access to your old password. Select Log out of other devices or Stay logged in, and then select Continue.
