Try a recovery email. If you don't have one, then your only option would be to contact Facebook.

Question

How do I find my Facebook password?

Try to see if you wrote it down or if it is saved in your browser. If not, then you will only be able to reset it, since you can't view your password from Facebook.

Question

How can I open my Facebook account if somebody change the password?

Community Answer

It has probably been hacked, so somebody might know your email password. Click on Forgot Password, and the link to change the same will be send onto your email. Also for safety, you can strengthen your email account password.

Question

I was hacked and I have now changed my password. Do I need to do anything else?

Community Answer

Enable 2-factor authentication in the settings. It might be annoying sometimes, but it's safe.

Question

How do I reset my Facebook password if I no longer have the same phone number I used when signing up and didn't register my email?

Community Answer

Tap “forgotten your password” and it will take you to a page where you can search account by pressing the words written in blue. If it shows numbers tap the blue words to make it show words/your keyboard. Then you may search your Facebook name/account if you see your account just tap it and enter your password.
