If you forgot your email (or password) in addition to your password, then it will be more difficult to restore your Instagram account.
1. Forgot email
If you don't remember what email you registered Instagram with, then try resetting your password (see above), but you need to remember your login. Then check your mailboxes, you may receive an email with a link to reset your password. If you did not find the letter in any mail, then check the SPAM folder.
2. I forgot my mail password
Officially, Instagram support recommends contacting the mail service support when you forgot your mail password. But there is another option. You can contact Instagram support by writing that your account has been hacked. Usually, when Instagram is hacked, they change mail and personal data, i.e. in fact, you do not have access to the mail to which the account is currently registered.

If the account is deactivated, then you can contact here https://help.instagram.com/contact/1652567838289083
The support team is extremely reluctant to help and rarely answers. To get through a stream of complaints similar to yours, write several times every day. Same. Perhaps they will notice you and help you.
What to do? If someone offers you to restore Instagram (without login/mail/password/phone) - remember that it is impossible to do this by official methods if there is no access to mail/phone/Facebook. Therefore, this “someone” must have acquaintances among Facebook employees who will personally restore your page.
Accounts are often hacked to be used to buy followers. Therefore, while your Instagram is in the clutches of the enemy, it can be blocked for exceeding the Limits. But this will not affect the process of restoring access (although you will then have to unsubscribe from a bunch of leftist accounts).
For personal accounts
For business accounts
The documents and photos you are asked for depends on whether you have personal photos in your account. Therefore, even if you have a professional Instagram, it’s good to have a couple of your own photos there to make it easier to recover your account in case of a hack. If your business is not officially registered (for example, your mother knits hats, and you sell them), then it is better to write to the support service for recovery as a personal account.
An account can be restored in a few days / week / month, there is no exact timeframe. They may not recover at all. Try to write to support several times (with a break of a week or two). Applications are processed by real people (even when they send "template" answers), so maybe one of the support staff will help you unlock your Instagram account.
