bought new computer and accidently created new facebook accountl

My laptop was on its last legs, so I bought a new one. When I tried to get on facebook it wasn't accepting my usual logon which is my e-mail, and it suggested that I use my telephone # instead. The passwords are either identical (or probably a slight variation). It created a new account that is completely empty. Both accounts have my first and last name.
When I can get my old computer to work it has all of my old facebook. There is some irreplaceable stuff on there like pictures of people I was close to that died too young. I thought about trying to delete the new account but I was afraid it might delete both because they're in the same name. Any suggestions, or how to get help from FB, which I can't find.
Thank You

Have spent the last day trying. There is no way to contact them directly (at least from U.S). There are forums where people discuss common problems, but I haven't run into any thing close to this.

Sounds like a major glitch in code.

It probably made a separate account using your phone number, which had your details such as your first and last name.
The thing you need to find out is what your logon credidential is for your original Facebook, if they don't work you might be trying to log in to a fake Facebook. So whatever your Facebook email and password is, they should always work no matter what computer.
If it continues to not log you in, your best bet is Facebook tech support.

Actually after days of searching I found there is no such thing (at least in the U.S.) as face book tech support. There are only independent support groups of users to try to answer common questions.
I fixed it and it was actually easy. After a couple days of fooling with the new computer I found out how to log out of FB. Then I logged back in with the old logon, and I think I had to change my password on the old computer which works occasionally. Using this I logged into the new computer. Now I have my old account on the new computer and it logs in automatically. It is very rare when I can fix a computer problem.

Oops, sorry for leading you into the dark on the tech support, I figured it could be a possibility they exist and solve this but I see you already got it congrats dude
