Get back a facebook page? - Cera - 10-15-2012 09:30 PM
So I had this facebook page and it has 17,000 likes. I was really upset when I lost it to a girl who was added as an admin by the other manager. I know who took the page, and I'm trying to get it back. Is there any way that I can hack the page and get it back that way? Or if there is any other way PLEASE let me know!! I want it back so bad!

First off, hacking is a bad thing. If you want to get it back legitimately, contact Facebook and explain the situation.
I'm not endorsing this in any way, but one thing you should know about any computer system is that the weakest part of its security is the people. The term for getting into a system through the people is called "social engineering." It's not quite "hacking," because hacking is knowing the internal part of the system, breaking into it by finding out its weakness and using it to make the system do things. "Social engineering" is manipulating the people associated with the information into divulging it.
The thing is, both ways are illegal unless you're working for a security firm, who specialize in protecting companies from hacking/social engineering.
I'm sure you've heard of Facebook chain surveys, where you fill out a note using the Notes application, and you fill out confidential information about yourself as a "game." (Search "Facebook chain survey" on Google, and the first link is an example). It should be quite obvious how people use this to get into other people's accounts.
In case you don't know, it's by asking specific questions about their Security Questions. Every online profile, email account, etc., uses security questions to protect the user. But what if the person divulges the answers to the security questions? If you have these answers, you essentially have the power to change their passwords and lock them out of their account entirely.
So that's one way to get your account back.
