If your Facebook account is locked, it means Facebook has temporarily restricted access to protect your profile from suspicious activity or policy violations. But don't worry—you can unlock your account by following the proper recovery steps.

🔐 Facebook Account Locked? Here's How to Unlock It [2025 Guide]

🚫 Why Facebook Locks Accounts

Your account might be locked for several reasons:

• Suspicious login attempt (e.g., from a new location or device)

• Violation of Facebook’s Community Standards

• Reports of impersonation or spam

• Automated bot-like behavior (too many friend requests, likes, etc.)

• Using a fake name or false identity

✅ How to Unlock Your Facebook Account

🔹 Step 1: Visit the Unlock Help Page

Go to the official help page:
👉 https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907

This is the "My personal Facebook account is disabled" form.

🔹 Step 2: Log In and Follow Instructions

When you try to log in, Facebook may show a message like:

“Your account is temporarily locked.”
“We’ve detected suspicious activity.”
“We need to verify your identity.”

Click “Continue” and follow the prompts. You may be asked to:

• Enter a security code sent via email or SMS

• Identify friends in photos

• Confirm your date of birth

• Upload a government-issued ID

🔹 Step 3: Upload Your ID (If Requested)

If your account is disabled or Facebook can’t verify you through the normal process:

Submit a photo of your ID at:

Accepted documents:

• Passport

• Driver’s license

• National ID card

• Official student or work ID (with name + photo)

Include an email address where Facebook can reach you.

🔹 Step 4: Wait for Facebook’s Response

• Facebook usually replies within 24–72 hours

• They will send a link to unlock your account if verification is successful

• Check your spam/junk folders regularly
