If you forget the password that you have been using on your Facebook account, there is no need to worry as Facebook enables users to reset the passwords on their accounts.

To reset the password on Facebook:

•    Navigate to Facebook’s URL through the computer browser. Do not sign in or do anything at this stage.
•    Click on the link below the password box which says “Forgotten Your Password?”
•    Facebook will ask you to enter the following - either the registered email address or phone number that you used while creating the Facebook account; your Facebook’s username; or a combination of your name and friend’s name.
•    Enter any one of the details and click on search so that Facebook can locate your account.
•    Enter the captcha code if prompted.
•    Facebook will then search for your account and display all the email addresses that are linked with your account.
•    Click on the “Reset Password” option.
•    Facebook will send a reset password link to the email addresses as listed in the previous step. Within 5 min. of clicking on the “Reset Password” option, you should have the link to reset your password in your inbox.
•    Open your email inbox and look for the reset password email from Facebook.
•    Click on the link provided and answer any security questions if asked.
•    Enter a new password for your Facebook account.

Your Facebook password will now be reset. Test by logging into Facebook with your username and the new password.

Note: Do use a different password for each of your accounts to prevent all your accounts from getting compromised at once.
