What if you lose access to a Facebook Business Page with only one admin?
Today, I’d like to share my experience about losing access to a Facebook business page and how I successfully recovered it.
I was managing my company’s Facebook Business Page through a personal account, which was the only admin with full control of the page. Unfortunately, Facebook disabled that account for an unknown reason, causing me to lose access to the business page as well.
Since the business page is crucial for us, I had to find a way to recover access and transfer admin rights to another account. Here’s how I did it:
1️⃣ Contacting Meta Support:
Although there’s no direct option to contact Facebook support, I accessed the Meta Business Suite and connected with the Meta Support Team through the live chat option. I explained my situation, and they guided me to prepare the following documents:
1.Identification Document: A valid ID of the person requesting access.
2.Signed Attestation Letter
3.Ownership Document: An official document proving my ownership of the page.
For more details about these documents, you can refer to this link: https://lnkd.in/gSZ5jH5V.
2️⃣ Submitting the Documents:
I compiled all the required documents into a single PDF, created a new support case, referenced my previous case ID, and attached the documents via chat.
3️⃣ Following Up:
I regularly followed up on the support case. After waiting for about a month, I finally regained access to my Facebook Business Page!
To avoid situations like this, here are my recommendations:
•Add a Backup Admin: Always add at least one additional person as an admin with full control.
•Set Up Meta Business Suite: Use the suite to set your page access under your business portfolio.
•Follow Up Regularly: If you raise a support case, follow up frequently to ensure it progresses.
And, I’d like to extend my gratitude to Ashraf AP, Usman Chelambra, and ASHIQ KODALI for their support throughout this process.
