Facebook Reset Password Option

Facebook requires an email address and password to log in. If you forget your password, you can reset it and create a new password to log in to your account. If you attempt to reset the password too many times in a single 24 hour period, Facebook will make the reset password option unavailable for the next 24 hours.

Resetting Password
If you forget your Facebook account password, you can reset it by clicking the "Forgot your password" link on the Facebook homepage. It is not possible to retrieve the forgotten password. When you choose to reset your password, Facebook sends an email to the email address associated with your Facebook account. A special link in the email lets you specify a new password and log in to your account with the new password. If you are unable to find the email from Facebook, check your email account's spam and junk email filter.

Incorrect Password Error
If you accidentally enter the wrong password when you try to log in, you will receive a password error. Passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure the "Caps Lock" on your keyboard is off before you attempt to log in. If the problem persists even after you've double-checked that you entered the password correctly, restart the browser and log in again. As a final alternative, attempt to log in to Facebook using a different browser. If none of these methods work, reset your password as a safety precaution.

Password Recommendations
To protect the privacy and integrity of your account, Facebook recommends you use a password for your Facebook account that is unique and that you do not use with other online accounts. Facebook also suggests using long and strong alphanumeric passwords that also contain punctuation and special symbols. All passwords must be at least six characters long.

Password Reset Limit
Facebook limits the number of times you can reset your password online in a 24-hour period. Facebook does not reveal what the limit is. If you receive a message that the reset password option is unavailable, you must wait 24 hours before you can reset the password again. If you reach the password reset limit, you can still perform a password reset by clicking on the password reset link in the email from Facebook.
