Reactivate Your Facebook Account

To reactivate a deactivated Facebook account, all you need to do is sign into Facebook on either a mobile device or the desktop site; you may also need to reset your password if you've forgotten it. In the event that Facebook disabled your Facebook account and you believe it was done in error, you can fill out an appeal form.
