My password has been changed by someone, and FB asked me to reset it. However, after I entered my previous password, they asked me to use my current login again.
 
That sounds like a security loop. Try clearing your browser cache or using a different device to log in. If it keeps happening, go to the Facebook Help Center and select "I think my account was hacked" to reset everything securely.

That's strange. Maybe a bug or someone tried to get into your account. Try logging in from a different device or browser and go through the reset steps again. Hopefully it sorts itself out soon.
 
The key is that I don't even know what my current password is? How do I log in? I keep repeating these two pages, and I'm getting so angry with them! Does anyone know how to do this?! Very urgent!

You should go to facebook,com,hacked to regain access. If you're stuck in a login loop, try switching browsers, using the Facebook app, or a different network. Once you're back in, enable two-factor authentication.
 
Thanks, everyone. I need to try using a secure browser first and then file an appeal, right?
 
Has your phone number or gmail information been changed? You can access it with a new device and retrieve your password.

You can use your email or phone number to recover your account. After recovering, you should enable two-factor authentication to protect your account.

did you log in to it on a proxy browser maybe the problem is with the proxy and the browser
 
It seems someone changed your password. Facebook asked you to reset it, but after entering your old password, it redirected you to log in again with your current one.
 
Facebook recently mandated 2fa. It wouldn't allow me to log in unless I enabled 2fa. How was it not enabled for you?

Reset your password using your phone number/email
 
You can access it using a new device, and use your email or phone number to recover your account. After recovery, you should enable two-factor authentication to protect your account.
 
If Facebook asks you to use your current login again after entering your old password, it likely means your session is still active or verification is incomplete. Try logging out of all devices and clearing browser cookies, then attempt the reset again.

If you have full personal information on your FB account, you can completely recover your password via email or phone number, or through support using ID card to regain control.
 
Being asked to re-enter your old password and then forced to use your current login credentials is a security loop that many people have experienced. The system may have detected unusual activity on your account and triggered an automatic protection mechanism, making the recovery process complicated. In this case, it’s best to take a break from everything for a while (usually 24–48 hours), then try to recover using a different device, browser, or IP address—avoid doing it too many times in a row, as this can make the system suspect you’re a bot or intruder.
If you have the “Account is Compromised” option, use it – it’s an alternative route that doesn’t require your current password, but focuses on verifying your identity. You may need to provide identification that matches your account information during the process, so have a clear, authentic scan ready. The more you follow the process and avoid rushing things, the better your chances of getting your account back. It’s important not to try too many times in a row, as this can make things worse.
 
Recover your password, using saved contact information like gmail or phone number.
 
Try signing in on another device or browser, then select "Forgot Password" to start the recovery process. This often bypasses the old password loop.
 
Taking a 24-48 hour break and then trying to recover from a different device, browser, or IP address is often the best approach. This helps avoid suspicion of automated behavior. If the “Account is Compromised” option appears, definitely use it - this route doesn’t require your current password and instead focuses on verifying your identity.
