Facebook Pages without Admins
We have found out that you can now “Remove” the last Admin on a business page without being prompted which has caused hundreds of pages to be in Limbo without an admin.
There has never been a time when admin’s have been able to remove the last admin without being prompted with a pop up window stating “If you remove yourself as the last admin, this page will be deleted”. In other words, if the page is active then there must be an admin somewhere.
As of today (or possibly since they changed the admin around), it does look like you can now remove yourself, but its still a two step process. Ultimately, the user still has to click ”remove” and then click “save changes” to make this stick.
Nevertheless it looks like it is causing havoc for lots of people. It looks like there is a FB glitch and the only recommendation we have to correct this is to submit a Bug Report with Facebook.
We encourage you to keep us up to date with what you find.

Unfortunately there has not been any fixes yet for this problem. If we find one, we'll let you know.
I also deleted myself as adminstrator of my pages...What am I to do now?
I have deleted one of my pages by accident...I selected the spam tab because I wanted to find out why it was on my page and it deleted my page now what do I do to get the page undeleted?
Has there been any progress on this? I have been trying myself to get someone to answer my requests for assistance to no avail. Any official word from FB on your end?
Well, it's been a while since the problem was identified and, as I see, we've got no resolution from FB. Do you think there's a real chance that FB will provide users with a solution to get back their lost pages?
I have had this happen to me with not just 1 page but 3!...it seems on two of these pages it did this to me involuntarily somehow. I'm tired of this problem and will be deleting the "pages for business" (unfortunately) and will be creating agroups for them instead. What an unfortunate easily correctable problem
I removed myself from the group admin mistakely.nhow can i get back??
i have the same problem?????????????????????
ok am back as admin to my own page/club. so how do i do to control the club as i do not trust my admin anymore. where is my rights as founder to the club..plss help..urgent

that is,,,, how did you get it back?
i created my own page. but one of my admin delete me as admin. so how to i control my privacy rights as the founder of the page/club
Add me to the list!!! Same problem - deleted myself and thought I added someone, but no one has access. How long do wait for an answer? Do we just create new pages? Horrible very, very frustrating! This is kind of nonresistant customer service is making me hate Facebook.
great news, but what are the two steps in the remove processnnnif you cannot get the edit page option what can you do???
I accidentally deleted myself as the only admin for a group that I created and there is no option to add an admin. It just states on the group that there are no admins for the group. I have sent in tons of bug requests for help with screencap attachments with no response from anyone. I have been trying to get help for months. :(
I am having the same problem, and can't seem to get a reply. How do I make myself admin of my own page if I am the only admin and have been deleted?
Same thing but mine is a group page. I've been sending in requests for months...prob. sent in a hundred. :(
Thank you for this information. After sending over twenty requests to FB to help me out - with the same problem you are having - they don't help or care. This is very sad and frustrating!!!!!
Over the past several months I'm sure I've sent in over 100 requests for help with no response. :(
I was the only admin (creator) of a group I created and all of a sudden I got removed as admin. I didn't even do it myself. It jut happened....
Me too!!!! What's up?
I removed myself as admin of my business page on 12/8/2010 and now can't access my page. I deleted myself as admin (I was the only one at the time) and no other prompts came up "to save changes" that I can I remember.. I submitted a "bug report" on facebook. my business page is still up and people have added 'Likes" since I did this.. but I can't access the page to make changes etc. What can I do?
hello can any one please help me??nMy group is now with no admins coz i deactivated my account for 2 days and when i returned back i found i am no loger the admin (but I am still the officer) and there are no other admins i sent several msgs to facebook help center if any one can help me please reply asap, or if you know anyone that can help

also,When I filed the bug report, I did not submit the "Screen shot of Issue" and am not sure if that would help in my situation. plus I don't understand this function
Same problem!! HELLO!!!! Whats with Facebook??? This can`t be a problem to fix for them??nAnd no answer just "go to help center" oh my...what a help!!!! I`m so mad!!
I removed myself unknowingly and it was not a two step process. I was immediately removed, not prompted, and didn't have the option to "save changes" since I no longer had administrative access to the page. I emailed Facebook about 2 weeks ago and never received a response.
i removed admit mistakenly pls what to do?
well I just deactivated my facebook account and made sure that there was another admin but my page has gone, even when reactivating my account, so maybe something has been done..
I want to delete myself as an admin and i have two other admins,,,,,,,, But im affraid that what happen to Andrew will happen to me. How can I make sure the other admins have the Ad Page
Same problem, we r a rock band and started a fan page, with over 37000 likes in 10 months and about a 1000 joining in every 4 days, all of our adminds have been removed. We have no way to be in touch with them any longer. Are band pages not legitimate, under the Fb ( over 10,000 fans ) review system ???
Plz HELP !!
Thx

Hi Subir,
Thanks for connecting with us. Did any of the other admins remove any others? Were you contacted by Facebook about breaching any terms and agreement?

Hi Edward.nI have the same problem and FB don`t answer e-mails just suggests help senter....what to do?????
It looks like Facebook has fixed the issue because you cannot remove yourself any more accidentally. Unfortunate this does not fix the problem for previous admins who have removed themselves from their pages.
Another suggestion is to submit a Bug Report at this link. We recommend being as detailed as possible when submitting the report.

Many thanks
Arrrggghh! This has just happened to me, I too feel sick.
Thing is, I swear I only removed all other admins but left myself there. Its almost like its locked me out for removing a large number of other admins?
Submitted bug report. Really hope they can help. This is a disaster.
Any news on how to add admins when you accidently delete all of them? Is there anyway to delete the page and start over?
This happened to me too. I feel a bit sick.
Having the same problems as a lot of people it seems. Very frustrating when I can't edit my business page. Please find help soon! Thanks.
Hello, i just happend this to my page. All the admins was deleted and still up
Hard to believe that something as large as Facebook would still be having this issue. I created a "page" for my band and added myself as an Admin. Something screwy happened so I removed myself as an admin (about 2 minutes after). Now I cannot logon with the origical e-mail address or re-assign myself as an admin. Nice! Now all of the personal info we put on the "Page" is just sitting there for all to see without me able to administer it.
Nice Facebook....good call!! I just saw that there are THOUSANDS of bug reports through bugzilla. This HAS to be one of the more important ones out there as it is affecting millions of pages over the world. Any updates on this from anyone? Can't we even request them to delete this page? I'll create a new one .... I don't care.....just give me an option Facebook!!
Ok...vent over....but still pissed.
