Short answer. A Facebook account locked screen asks you to confirm the profile is yours. Finish that check on a device you have used before. If the next page says disabled or suspended, screenshot it and appeal. We never ask for the password.
A Facebook account locked page holds the login until you confirm you are the owner. It is close to a checkpoint and different from “We disabled your account.” Read the headline out loud once. Then follow that page, not a guide for the other sentence.
Use a device you have logged in with before. Screenshot the lock. Finish the code, the login review, or the identity check it shows. Type codes yourself. When you are in, change the password, turn on two-factor authentication, and remove sessions you do not know. If the email was taken, start at Facebook hacked account recovery.
A checkpoint with the same job has its own page: Facebook checkpoint. An identity check on a suspension is Facebook account suspended confirm identity. If the lock ends on a disable, switch to Facebook account disabled and appeal from that notice.
Send the profile name and the screenshot. We file disable and suspension appeals through Meta’s own official channels. It takes a few days. Start a case on the contact page. How it works is the three steps. We never ask for your password.
The login is on hold until you confirm your identity. A disabled account is a different headline, with an appeal.
Follow the steps on the lock screen. Keep codes to yourself. Approve only sessions you recognize.
Appeal from that new screen. The disabled-account guide uses Facebook's own split between suspended and disabled.
No. We never ask for the password. Send the name on the profile and the screenshot.
