If you no longer have access to the email address that is linked to your Facebook account because it is invalid or expired, locate your account by logging in with an alternative.

If unsuccessful, type your mobile phone number in the "Email" field on the login page. Enter your password and select the "Login" button. This will work if you've registered for Facebook texts. If unsuccessful, type an alternate email address in the "Email" field on the login page. Enter your password and select the "Login" button. If you are still unable to identify your account, complete and submit the "I Cannot Identify My Account" report, which you'll find at facebook.com/help. Click "Browse Help Center Topics" in the left column. Click the "Login & Password" option under "Managing Your Account." Click on "I Can't Remember Which Email Address I Use To Log In To Facebook" and click the link in option 5. Click the "I Can't Identify My Account" link in the lower-left corner of the resulting page to access the report.
