Visit https://www.facebook.com using a web browser. You can do this using any web browser on your computer, phone or tablet.

If the person has added a trusted contact (and you know who they are/how to contact them), here's how you can use this feature to access that person's account.

Use this method if you are a close friend or relative of someone who is missing, having problems, or who has asked you to access their account for some reason.

Follow the onscreen instructions to try another method. If you can't access your account using the previous step, you'll see a message saying you can't sign in without access to the associated email address or phone number. If you have other options, such as answering security questions and/or identifying some of the person's friends, follow the instructions to access the account.

If you still can't access the account, you can try the password document on the person's computer. That document can be named "Passwords" or "Passwords" if they created one.

If you want to access the account of someone who is missing or has a legal problem, contact local authorities. Law enforcement can access a user's Facebook account if they have the appropriate warrant.
