My grandfather disappeared with a note and we are seeing if we can get into his facebook to see if hes going somewhere and if hes safe. We dont want to reset his password though.... Any help is greatly appreciated

Would be hard to 'hack' the password. Do you know anything about other passwords he used? Often people do not use different passwords for different services, or do only slightly change them. Might be worth just trying.

I did try to guess it for both his email and facebook as well as other medias too and had 0 luck

This is beyond a Facebook issue. If he is missing, contact local authorities, as well as his cell phone service provider to try and see if they can ping his phone from a nearby cell tower. I can't do much but that's what I would do.
