Temporarily locked out of Facebook?
I tried to log in and I got this message
"It looks like you haven't logged in from this device before. To help keep your account safe, please answer a few security questions."

The device in question is my new laptop and I have logged in on it a couple of weeks before (so I'm not sure what facebook is going on about)
The frustrating thing is that I have forgotten the answer to my security question.
Should I contact facebook?

contacting facebook will just get you a generic reply linking you to a FAQ page - you will never reach a human

if you "forgot" your security question, then you did not select a very good security question, and there is no way to bypass this check - it is there to help prevent spammers and hackers from taking over your account

solution: just use your old laptop to log in, and then update your security question to something that you will "remember"

there is no other option
