    If that happened, your account is probably hacked by someone who also now has access to your messages, images and other personal info. That 'unknown' has your password. You should change your change your password before that 'unknown' changes it and causes you more trouble.

    How do I get back into my Facebook account when I already changed my email?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You would need to know the answer to your security questions. Another option is if you have your phone number on your account you could access it on your phone with your phone number. Also you could try just using your old email (the one you set up the account with) and your current password, which may still work.
