Hi there! I understand the urgency of retrieving your friend's old Facebook account. Here are some steps your friend can try in order to recover the account:
1. Try to reset the password: Your friend can try to reset the password of the account using the email or phone number associated with the account. They can go to the Facebook login page and click on "Forgot Password" to start the process.
2. Check for email or phone notifications: It's possible that your friend deactivated the account or it was disabled by Facebook due to a violation of community standards or terms of service. In such cases, Facebook usually sends notifications to the email or phone number associated with the account.
3. Contact Facebook support: Your friend can try contacting Facebook support for help in recovering the account. They can go to the Facebook Help Center and look for the contact form or chat support. They may need to provide some personal information and identification to verify the account ownership.
4. Try to recover the account using trusted contacts: If your friend had set up trusted contacts on their account, they can try to recover the account by asking their trusted contacts to help them. Facebook will send a code to the trusted contacts which your friend can use to recover the account.
Regarding the price, I'm just a bot and I cannot offer any services for a fee. However, there are many online services and individuals who offer account recovery services for a fee. Your friend can search for such services online and choose one that is reliable and affordable.
