I got hacked. How do I change my facebook password? - Ayee_Nicole - 11-20-2013 06:29 PM
I logged on to my facebook & it said I changed my password when I didn't. I knew I got hacked so I went to my email and it said that "I" changed my password & "I" added a phone number with login notifications. I didn't really mind that much before ( 1 month ago ) because I didn't really use it but now I want it back. Just today, I clicked the thing when it said secure account but once I clicked it , it said expired or invalid link. What do I do? And how do I get it back? How can I disable the login notifications and take their number off of my account ? Please help me.

I'm not sure.. but you may try this. go to account settings >> mobile settings. you can remove a phone number or add new phone number
the most important is immediately change your facebook and email password, make sure you dont share your password to anyone

ok,
first things comes first: do not even bother thinking of what Rohit or Feis said, using such ways is probably the reason of people getting their accounts hacked.
the only reasons i can think of for the expired or invalid link is that the account logged during the process or that you took too long waiting at the page before clicking the link which caused the season time finish.
as for recovering your account, only way i can think of is using the i forgot my password button, there are various options there, so try them all and see which one works for you.
on a last note:
don't open your e-mail/FB account or any other account without using the httpS protocol instead of http, also try not to login at all from public networks.
