    So basically you know the way your enter your username and password for facebook, on mine once you do that it checks to see if the device has been used to log into my fb before if it hasnt you type its name followed by a code you get from fb via text message. Now the problem I did a clean restore a while ago and havent been able to log in since. I do have access via my fb app on my iphone but dont know if I can turn off this second security measure from it. I have emailed fb twice with no response. I have remove this laptop and all its browsers from the recognized list on fb just to clean things about but still no text.

    Any ideas?

    What happens when you put in your name and password? Have you tried from a different PC?
