How to Delete a Facebook Account Without a Password
Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, with over 2.8 billion monthly active users. However, not everyone wants to keep their Facebook account forever. Some people may want to delete their account for various reasons, such as privacy concerns, personal preferences, or simply wanting to start fresh.
I Forgot My Facebook Password And I Want To Delete My Account
But what if you forgot your Facebook password and you want to delete your account? Is it possible to do so without logging in? The answer is yes, but it may not be easy. In this article, we will show you how to delete a Facebook account without a password using different methods.
Method 1: Reset Your Password and Then Delete Your Account
The easiest way to delete a Facebook account without a password is to reset your password using your registered email or phone number and then delete your account. Here are the steps to follow:
Go to [Facebook's login page] and click on "Forgot Password?"
Enter your email or phone number that you used to sign up for Facebook and click on "Search".
You will receive a code via email or SMS that you can use to reset your password. Enter the code and click on "Continue".
Create a new password and click on "Continue".
Now that you have access to your account, you can delete it by following these steps:
Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of Facebook and select "Settings & Privacy".
Click on "Settings" and then on "Your Facebook Information".
Click on "Deactivation and Deletion" and choose "Delete Account".
Click on "Continue to Account Deletion" and follow the instructions to confirm.
This method will permanently delete your Facebook account and all your data, including your photos, posts, videos, messages, and everything else you have added. You will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you have deleted. You will also lose access to other apps and websites that you have signed up for with your Facebook account, such as Spotify or Pinterest. You may need to contact them separately to recover those accounts.
Method 2: Use Facebook's Trusted Friends Feature
If you don't have access to your email or phone number anymore, you can try using Facebook's Trusted Friends feature. This feature allows you to regain access to your account by asking three of your friends to supply a reset code. However, this method only works if you have set it up in advance for your account. Here are the steps to set it up:
Go to "Settings & Privacy" and click on "Settings".
Click on "Security and Login" and scroll down to "Choose 3 to 5 friends to contact if you get locked out".
Click on "Edit" and then on "Choose friends".
Select three to five friends from your friend list that you trust and click on "Confirm".
If you have already set up this feature, you can use it to reset your password and then delete your account by following these steps:
Go to [Facebook's login page] and click on "Forgot Password?"
Enter your email or phone number that you used to sign up for Facebook and click on "Search".
If you don't have access to any of them, click on "No longer have access to these?"
You will be asked to enter a new email or phone number where you can receive a reset code. Enter one that you have access to and click on "Continue".
You will see a list of your trusted friends that you have chosen before. Contact them and ask them to visit [facebook.com/recover] and send you the code they see there.
Enter the codes from your friends and click on "Continue".
Create a new password and click on "Continue".
Now that you have access to your account, you can delete it by following the steps in Method 1.
This method will also permanently delete your Facebook account and all your data, as well as your access to other apps and websites that you have signed up for with your Facebook account.
Method 3: Report Your Account as Fake or Impersonating
If none of the above methods work for you, you can try reporting your account as fake or impersonating someone else. This may prompt Facebook to remove your account, but it is not guaranteed. Here are the steps to follow:
Go to [Facebook's login page] and click on "Forgot Password?"
Enter your email or phone number that you used to sign up for Facebook and click on "Search".
If you don't have access to any of them, click on "No longer have access to these?"
You will be asked to enter a new email or phone number where you can receive a reset code. Enter one that you have access to and click on "Continue".
You will see a list of your trusted friends that you have chosen before. Contact them and ask them to visit [facebook.com/recover] and send you the code they see there.
Enter the codes from your friends and click on "Continue".
Create a new password and click on "Continue".
Now that you have access to your account, go to your profile page and copy the URL.
Log out of your account and go to [facebook.com/help/contact/169486816475808].
Paste the URL of your profile in the box and select "This timeline is pretending to be me or someone I know".
Click on "Send" and wait for Facebook to review your report.
This method may take some time and there is no guarantee that Facebook will delete your account. You may also need to provide some proof of identity or other information to verify your report. If Facebook decides to delete your account, it will also delete all your data and your access to other apps and websites that you have signed up for with your Facebook account.
Conclusion
Deleting a Facebook account without a password is possible, but it may not be easy. The best way to do so is to reset your password using your registered email or phone number and then delete your account. If you don't have access to them, you can try using Facebook's Trusted Friends feature or reporting your account as fake or impersonating. However, these methods are not guaranteed and may take some time. In any case, deleting a Facebook account will also delete all your data and your access to other apps and websites that you have signed up for with your Facebook account.
