My facebook account has been hacked. :( PLEASE HELP.? - Tasha - 02-19-2014 12:28 PM
Okay. My facebook account has been hacked and I tried changing the password but this link shows "Your password could not be reset.
*You have reached the limit of password reset attempts. If you are still having trouble accessing your account, please contact us for assistance." What should I do?
I'm worried because he/she maybe chatting up with my friends about naughty things or mean things. And he/she keeps on putting mean statuses about sex or whatever. :| PLEASE HELP!- If theirs any chance that I ca delete this account, how??

Call facebook and see if they can reset the password for you.

The only way is to contact facebook and ask them to delete this account.

Best thing do is Cancel your account. Make a new one.
How to Cancel your Facebook Account:
1. Go to your home page.
2. On the top Right hand corner of the page it says Account.
3. Click on it
4. Then click on Account settings.
5. It takes you to a oage and down the bottom of the page it says deactivate account.
Hope this helps.

If it's coming up "You have reached the limit of password reset attempts".
Then you need to give it 24hours break so it will reset and let you reset your password again.
After the 24hours has passed. Try to reset your password again and it should let you carry on, It will ask for some details about yourself and then let you choose a new password.
You can't delete you account unless you can login. Otherwise, you can Contact Facebook, but by the time they reply (they can take days), the 24hours would of been over anyway so you might as well wait the 24 hours, then reset your password.
Most hacked facebook accounts are to try and get your credit/debit card details when you purchase virtual items in facebook games, I doubt they will bother changing your status or talking to your friends as it will cause to much suspicion to their IP address.
Just remember, when you change your password, make it longer than 10 characters, include some numbers and try and include one Capital letter in it. This will help protect your account in the future.
