What if you can’t access the email associated with your account?
First, if you have an alternate or additional email that you had previously added, you should try logging in with that one. Of course, this is unlikely as you probably didn’t expect to find yourself in this situation. On the off chance that you have multiple emails linked though, you can use the other one. If you’re not sure if you do, you can go to this link: facebook.com/login/identify to see which credentials are associated with your account.
You can also try to get back into your email by contacting your mail service provider. A lot of services offer online support in the form of chat rooms to help you with any problems you might have. Tell them what’s going on and they might help you figure out steps to take to regain access to your original email. Sometimes, it’s as easy as making a call!
If nothing else has worked, simply double-check your login information. Did you recently reset the password? Do you have the right recovery email selected? Make sure everything was entered correctly.
