I recently created a Facebook account and must have logged in at work when I usually just use my phone, anyway facebook found that to be suspicious and put a temporary lock on my account. Now normally to solve this they allow you to identify photos of friends which in turn allows you to log back in. This option is not available to me because I added a lot of friends prior to getting locked out, now the option is grayed out (see below)

So when I try to login to Facebook I get prompted with these steps: I will separated each screen with # signs so it is easier to understand.
