How to Reset Facebook Password on the Desktop

Many users opt to stay logged in to Facebook on their computers and mobile devices so that it's easy to access the social media site. However, when you're inadvertently logged out, you may not remember your password. You can't recover your password because Facebook doesn't know it, but you can reset it. Here's what to do from Facebook on the desktop in a browser: If you're on a device that was recently logged in to your Facebook account, Facebook may be able to save the day by presenting you with Recent Logins. If you see your account profile, select it to log in to your account automatically. If you're on a new device or Facebook doesn't remember your last login, navigate to the Facebook Find Your Account page. Alternatively, from the login page, select Forgot Password. Enter your email address, phone number, your full name, or your username. Then, select Search.

If you found your account but don't have access to the phone number and email you set up, Facebook can't verify your identity.
