If you need an API to check what type of provider is associated with an email, you can use fetchProvidersForEmail. https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/auth/FirebaseAuth.html#fetchProvidersForEmail(java.lang.String)

As for resetting the password of an account that had a Facebook provider linked to it, it will unlink that Facebook account and transform it into a password account. The user will need to re-link the Facebook provider. This behavior allows the user to recover an account in case it was hijacked and modified by another unverified user.
