Recovering access, forgotten password on Instagram

You need to restore access to Instagram when you forgot your password or the page was “hacked” (taken over by an attacker).

Attention: do not register a new account! This will be a mistake. You should restore access to an account that you already have, and not create a new one.

Instagram password recovery function

SMS or email recovery

  1. On the Instagram login screen, press Forgot password (iPhone, computer) or Get help signing in (Android). You can use this link: www.instagram.com/accounts/password/reset/
  2. Enter your username (login), or phone number, or email address associated with Instagram, and click Next.
  3. Instagram will offer to send SMS or email. It can come from both Instagram and Facebook - this is one company. There will be a link to restore access. If the email does not arrive for a long time, check your Spam or Junk folder. While you wait, come up with a new password.
  4. When you receive an email, click on the password reset link - it may be lower than the login button - and follow the instructions on the screen. Take your time, read everything very carefully.

Example email from Instagram with a password reset link

Recovery via Facebook

If the Instagram account is linked to a Facebook account, this can help restore access. Use the link Login with Facebook on the login screen. If you have a Facebook application on your phone that you are signed in to, then do it on your phone. If you use Facebook on a computer, you can do it there by opening the instagram.com website in a regular browser.

Attention: do not use this method if your Instagram account was not linked to Facebook. You will simply create a new account that will have nothing to do with the old one.

Troubleshooting access recovery

What should I do if I no longer have a phone number or email access?

You must either restore the SIM card (or access to mail), or restore access through identity verification. This is a more complicated method, it is described below:

  • Recovering access with identity verification

What should I do if I have received a letter, but I still can't log in?

It is necessary to choose not to enter, but to reset the password. There is a special link in the letter. Maybe you didn't notice it - take a closer look. Also, the link could expire, in which case you need to request the letter again.

What should I do if I don't receive a letter from Instagram to restore access?

First, wait - the letter may not arrive immediately. Check your spam or junk folder in your mail. Make sure that you are waiting for the letter in the exact box to which Instagram sent it.

What to do if the code in SMS from Instagram does not come?

  • Restart your phone or turn it off and on again. Usually, to do this, you need to press and hold the power button and wait for item 9 to appear.0009 Reboot or Disable.
  • Is the correct date and time set on the phone?
  • Is there money on the balance sheet?
  • Send yourself an SMS from another number. Are messages getting through?
  • Insert the SIM card into another phone and order the code again.
  • Make sure you have a phone with exactly the number to which the page is linked.
  • Order the code again.

Entering Instagram recovery email address - user not found

If such an email is not found, it means that you registered at a different address, or you entered the address incorrectly, or the attacker changed the email address in your account.

Restoring access via ID support (no SMS)

What should I do if I can't restore access via SMS or email?

You can restore your account through the Instagram support service, without access to the old number or old mail, by confirming your identity. At the moment, this can only be done through the Instagram app for iPhone or Android. This feature is not available through the Instagram website. Actions are as follows:

In the Android application

  1. Under the button Login press Forgot your credentials?
  2. Enter your username (login), email or phone number, click Next.
  3. Press Need more help? below.
  4. The "Help us recover your account" page opens. Check all the suggested options for obtaining a security code: phone number, email address. If you are not able to get the code in any of these ways, click below I do not have access to this email address or phone number.

If it doesn't work (opens the help center), here's another way:

  4. Follow the instructions carefully.

What's next?

The Request Support page will require you to provide your valid contact email address and additional information. Then pressing Support request at the end of the page, you need to wait for an email from the Instagram security service. It may ask you to do one of the following (these are examples):

  • Send a video selfie in which you turn your head in different directions (i. e. you will need to film yourself).
  • Send a personal photo of you holding a piece of paper with a code that was sent to you.
  • Provide the phone number or email address you registered with.
  • Indicate the type of device from which you registered: Android, iPhone, iPad, etc.

It is possible that more than one day will pass, so you will have to be patient.

In some cases, according to users, this method of contacting Instagram support may not be available: link Need more help? (Need More Help) just opens the Instagram help center.

Let's talk about ways to find out your password on Instagram and take a closer look at the process of recovering it using all available methods: using email, phone number or an account in a partner social network.

The password from Instagram is forgotten, how to find it out

An unpleasant situation can happen to each user when the password to enter the account is lost or forgotten. Do not worry, because this problem can be solved independently and in a short time using standard service tools for restoring access.

There is only one way to remember the sequence of numbers. It is suitable for you if you use the social network mainly through a browser on a personal computer or mobile device.

When logging into the system through a browser, it will prompt you to remember the code so that next time you do not have to re-identify. Data about it is stored in the browser settings. If you did not consent to saving, then you will not be able to view it. Let's consider the procedure. Find out the password from your Instagram account:

  6. Select Instagram from the list.

  8. The field will display the current sequence of characters. Memorize it or copy it.

A similar algorithm is suitable for all browsers, the only difference will be in the location of the controls and in the design of the interface. The principle of operation on a mobile device is similar.

There are no other available ways to view the combination. If you forgot the security combination, you can restore it at any time by resetting the old one. There are several basic methods for this. Below we will see how to do this using email, phone number and Facebook.

Recovering a password via e-mail

  2. Enter your personal profile information. If you do not remember your personal information, click on the "Forgotten" button.
  3. A new access recovery menu will open. In the top field, enter the valid email address that your page is linked to.
  4. After that, open the mailbox, you should receive a new notification from the social network with a link to reset the previous combination.
  5. We find it and follow the link, a window will appear in which enter a new password and confirm it.
  6. Save the changes and try to log in again.

If you didn't receive a message from Instagram, you may have entered a non-existent address or made a mistake in writing it, and also check the spam folder on your e-mail.

Try to come up with a secure code, write it down or memorize it so that you do not repeat the procedure again.

In a similar way, you can regain access to your Instagram account using the mobile phone number attached to the profile. The process looks like this:

  1. Run the utility on your mobile device and open the authorization menu.
  2. On the bottom panel, click on the restore code item.
  3. A new window will open to restore access, in the input field, enter the cell phone number to which the account is linked.
  4. After that, the specified contact will receive a notification from the service with a link to reset the previous combination.
  5. On the next page, write a new character sequence and save the changes.
  6. Restart the Instagram application. From now on, you will have to enter new information.

There are times when a user does not remember his email or his cell phone. In such a situation, it is enough to specify the account login, the system will automatically detect the page and send an authorization code to the attached mail. If necessary, you can ask your friends on the social network for a nickname.

We use the Facebook profile for authorization

If you do not remember the cherished combination of numbers to enter the social network, do not worry, because you can log in to the system using a profile from the Facebook partner platform. To do this, you should take into account several important requirements:

  1. An account must be registered in the Facebook social network.
  2. Both accounts from Facebook and Instagram must be synchronized and linked to each other. You can do this in the Instagram settings.
  3. Install the official Facebook utility on your smartphone.

If all conditions are met, then you can safely enter the service:

  1. Go to the Instagram authorization menu.
  2. Under the fields for entering the password and account login, find the login button using the Facebook profile.
  3. On the next page, you need to enter your partner network account information and confirm your login.
