Facebook publishing rights HELP

So my friend has a facebook page made 3 years ago, he has only three status updates on that page from three years ago. That page now has over 700k likes, but for some reason facebook has taken away publishing rights. He had forgotten about the page, and has never done anything illegal on it. Can advise on how to get publishing rights back? Is there an easy way?

Thank you

I have seen people post that they can solve this problem.

If you had this problem how did you solve it?

Sounds like the page is still up, they sent an email to the registered address, and no one saw it to verify the account.

If your friend has the password, ask him to log in and see if he can find somewhere to "Protect Fan Page" or "Verify Account" something along those two lines. If your friend doesn't remember the password, have him to a password reset. If he doesn't have access to the original email account anymore, he's probably very likely screwed.

I did not faced this type of problem yet but when you get solution please tell me I also want to know.
