You could figure out your email password first by going to the site you made your email. For example if you had gmail account, go to google and press "Forgot Password".
Then you might be able to trigger a memory.. If not then try to work backward and try to log into Facebook using that email password because most people keep their passwords constant for easy memorization..
Once you have logged into your old Facebook account, go into 'Settings' then go to 'Security' and by clicking 'Deactivate Account', your old Facebook account will be closed. You can then access your current account.
That is why Facebook continues to have issues. When you create a profile on any social media website, it is your responsibility to take any and all measures to remember your recovery methods, like Phone numbers, code generators, and email addresses that you're able to administer. If you have lost your recovery credentials (and it's a habit), you should forget about creating another account because you'll probably be doing it again.
For one thing, you do not open a Facebook profile for a business, you open a Facebook business page, if you insist on doing it, you should have used a different number and email address, that's Facebook 101.
I would suggest you log out of your new account, do a search for the old account, log into that one and change both the phone number and the email
Since Facebook only allows one profile per person, I would suggest you change both asap before FB randomly decides to eliminate one of the profiles
Be forewarned: If you only have one email address associated with your account, losing access to your email could mean losing access to your Facebook. You can still access your account by using your email address and password.Also, you can find a lost password by mobile phone if you assigned one. If you forgot your password or email address, you can do the following:
From Facebook:
"If you registered a username, try logging in using your username and password. A username is your personalized Facebook URL (web address) and appears in the location bar of your browser after "http://www.facebook.com/" when you view your profile. After logging in, visit the Settings tab on the Account page to locate the email address you use to log in."OR "Ask one of your Facebook friends to view your profile and send you the email address listed on your account. To do this, ask your friend to click on the "Info" tab on your Profile page and scroll down to 'Contact Information.'"
If you're worried about who can see you and what they can see, remember that you can edit your privacy settings as you see fit from the Privacy Settings page.
To deactivate your account, navigate to the "Settings" tab on the Account Settings page. Deactivation will remove your profile and content associated with your account from Facebook. In addition, users will not be able to search for you or view any of your information.
If you’d like to come back to Facebook anytime after you’ve deactivated your account, you can reactivate your account by logging in with your email and password. Your profile will be restored in its entirety (friends, photos, interests, etc.). Remember that you will need to have access to the login email address on the account in order to reactivate it.
