Have Facebook Send a Code by Email
After you receive the code in the email you used to set up your account, you can click the “Click here to change your password” link, and then copy the reset code and paste it into the Facebook site. But, it’s easier to just click the “Change Password” button in the email and circumvent the whole code entry process.

Either option will take you to the same place—a screen prompting you to type a new password. Choose a strong password, and then click the “Continue” button.
Resetting Active Sessions After Changing Your Password
After you’ve reset your password, Facebook gives you the option to log out of active sessions on other devices or stay logged in.
If you just forgot your password, believe your account is safe, and don’t want to hassle with signing in again on other devices, go ahead and choose the “Stay Logged In” option.
If you suspect at all that your account was compromised, choose the “Log Out Of Other Devices” option instead. All current sessions on your PC, phone, tablet, and so on will be signed out, and you’ll need to sign in on them again using your new password.
Next you’ll be taken through a couple steps to help secure your account. If you suspect that someone may have had access to your account, Facebook can check to see whether there are any recent changes to your basic information (name, profile picture, and so on), installed apps, and your activity.
Simply provide a new password and click on save. If the password is not the same with previously used password, then you have successfully changed your password and you will be redirected to the Facebook Login page to re login. With that, your conundrum about “I forgot my Email and Password on Facebook” is resolved. Welcome back to your account.
