This Article from Lukastech will teach you How to Recover Your Disabled Facebook Account.

Being disabled on Facebook comes in two forms, the first part is when you Intentionally disable your account for some time due to reasons that are best known to you and the other part is when Facebook disable you for some reasons on their end.

As usual, the first instance can be resolved by logging into your Facebook account and on the former you will be required to submit an appeal to Facebook to get your account back, and also note that if you delete your Facebook account it can’t be recovered.

Method 1 of 2

Recovering a Self Disabled Facebook Account.

  • Make sure you can still recover your account:

If you’ve temporarily disabled your account, then, it can be recovered by inputting your details [Log in to your account], however, if you scheduled your account for deletion; it can only be retrieved 30 days from the day of your request.

  • Visit the Facebook [www.facebook.com] homepage on your browser preferably.
  • Input your email address or the phone number you used to open the given account.
  • Input your password in the box below the space for the former and make sure it’s accurate.
  • Click on Login: to sign in to your account.
  • Click on Cancel Account Deletion:

If you scheduled account deletion on your Facebook account, all you need to do is click on cancel account deletion and your account will be restored only when it’s not more than 30days.

However, in a case where you temporarily disabled your Facebook account, you’ll be logged in to continue using your Facebook account.

✅ If you have been harassed by someone whom you suspect is behind your account’s behaviour that led to it being disabled.

  • Click on Send:

This option is at the bottom-right side of the form, click on it when you’ve provided the required Info’s.

You’ll be notified by Facebook through the mail if they decide to revoke the ban on your account and make it accessible to you.

WARNING:

There is no guaranteed way to get back an account that was disabled by Facebook. The best you can do is submit an appeal, which only guarantees that Facebook will review your account.

Tips:

  1. If you deactivate your Facebook account and don’t set a recovery date, it can technically remain disabled indefinitely until you log back in.
  2. If you’re having trouble accessing an account because you don’t remember the password, you can reset the password.
