Appeal the profile
Everything depends on it.
Home / Facebook account help
Your Facebook profile is disabled and it was the admin of your business Pages?
On Facebook, Pages and ad accounts are managed through a personal profile. When that profile goes, access to everything it manages goes with it.
When a personal Facebook profile is disabled, you lose access to every Page, business portfolio and ad account it manages. Appeal the profile first. Meanwhile, ask any other admin to keep the Pages running, and check whether the business portfolio has a second admin. If nobody else has access, the profile appeal is the main route back.
Ask other admins
They can keep Pages and ads running.
Plan a backup admin
Two admins protect the business next time.
What still works
The Pages themselves usually stay online. Other admins of the Page or business portfolio keep their access. Ads can keep delivering until someone with access pauses them. What you lose is your own ability to manage them.
Steps to take
- Open the notice on facebook.com and follow the appeal. Confirm your identity if asked, using ID with the name on the profile.
- List every Page, business portfolio and ad account you managed.
- Contact any other admin and ask them to check access and pause ads if needed.
- If you were the only admin, keep the business details ready: registration, domain email, invoices.
- Once the profile is back, add a second trusted admin to everything.
Agencies and freelancers
If the disabled profile belonged to someone at an agency, the client can usually add a different person to the business portfolio from their own side. See agency ad account recovery.
What to send
- Your Facebook profile link or the name on the profile.
- A screenshot of the message or error, with the date visible.
- Which email address or phone number is on the account (just which one, never a code).
- What happened before it started, in a few lines.
Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.

Staying safe
Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. If someone in your DMs offers to fix it, asks you to log in through their link, or wants to be paid in gift cards, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins. We are an independent paid service, not affiliated with Meta: payment is upfront, with a 100% refund if the case fails. For Facebook and Instagram cases we work through our contacts at Meta, and Meta makes the final decision.
Questions people also ask (2026)
Disabled and no option to send ID?
Meta often asks for a video selfie instead of a document, or shows no upload at all. Record the selfie once, in good light, with no filters or glasses. If no option appears, screenshot the screen with the date. Sending repeated requests does not help.
Where is the appeal in Accounts Center?
If you can still log in, open Settings, then Accounts Center, then Account status, and pick the account. If you cannot log in, the login screen usually shows the notice with a button to disagree or request a review. Menu names change between app versions, so match the wording on your screen.
How long does an appeal take?
Meta does not commit to a timeline. Waits vary widely, and identity checks can add to them. The appeal window shown on a disable notice is usually about 180 days, so note the date on yours.

QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Will my Pages be deleted?
Not because your profile is disabled. Pages stay up unless they have their own restriction.
Can I make a new profile to manage the Pages?
Creating a new profile while your account is disabled can go against Meta’s terms and lead to that profile being disabled too.
Can Meta add a new admin to my Page?
In some situations Meta offers a Page access request for businesses that can prove they own the Page. It is not available for every Page.
Do I need to share my Facebook password?
No. Your password and login codes stay with you. Unbanz works from your public username, the notice and the details you send. Anyone who asks for your login is not someone to work with.
How do I contact Unbanz about a disabled Facebook account?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send your username and a screenshot of the notice, if there is one.
