Facebook Forgotten Password

[whiskychick]

I can log into my facebook account as my computer shows my password as a series of dots. However I have forgotten my password and would like to set a new one. After going through the process of forgotten account and typing the jumbled letters and numbers I am informed that a code will be sent to my email address. This is not the case, also checked junk mail and nothing there either. I am using Windows 10. If I need to tell my computer to forget passwords via settings how do I do this?

What browser are you using??

If you're using Chrome:
Click on the icon in the top right hand corner (the one with 3 little dots).
Click on settings.
Scroll to the bottom and click on show advanced settings.
Scroll down to passwords and forms and click on manage passwords.
Scroll down to facebook in the list and click on the starred out password.
You now have the option to click "show", which will show your password. You might have to input your laptop's admin password, depending on what level of security you've got set.

I am using chrome and got as far as clicking on the starred out password but it doesn't give me the opportunity to show it.

Strange, you should see something like this:

Glad you got it sorted :)
