Having your Instagram account hacked can be stressful. If you can’t access your email or phone number, follow these steps to reset your password.
Go to Instagram's login page and click on "Forgot Password?". Enter your username and follow the instructions to receive a password reset link.
If you don't have access to your email or phone, tap on "Need More Help?" during the password reset process. Instagram may provide alternative options for verifying your identity.
Instagram may ask for a selfie video or security details to confirm your identity. Follow the instructions carefully to regain access.
If your password reset link is not working, try these troubleshooting steps.
Sometimes, the password reset email might land in your spam or junk folder. Be sure to check there.
If the link has expired, request a new password reset link from Instagram.
Use another browser or device to access the password reset page.
Clearing your browser cache and cookies can resolve technical issues.
