in a few Simple Steps
Would you like to change your Instagram password?
You don’t remember your email or phone number but you want to reset your Instagram password?
These are all commons situations and almost everybody has to deal with them at least once in a life
All of us have to remember tens of different passwords, usernames, login combinations, etc...
So, it’s pretty common to forget the ones that we use less, like the Instagram password
But, if for example you change your phone and you download Instagram for the first time on the new device, you’ll have to log in with your username and password
So, what can you do if you don’t remember it?
And if you don’t remember your email address or phone number associated with that?
Well, today you’ll learn exactly how to change your password and log in to your account in a few simple steps, even if you don’t have your email or phone number!
If this is the first article you read on my blog, first of all, welcome!
I’m glad you’re here and if you’re interested in growing your page, making money on Instagram, buying followers, and many other interesting topics, make sure to look around the blog, and maybe you’ll find something that you need and could be useful
Now, let’s dive into the actual tutorial
In this article, we’ll cover:
How to reset your password with your email address or phone number
How to reset your password without your email address and phone number
First of all, let’s see what you can do if you have the phone number or the email associated with that account
If you know your username, that’s great, but for this method, you need to have also at least your phone number or the email address associated with that account
Once all of that is set up, what you have to do now is to go over the Instagram app on your phone or on the web browser
If you are already logged into an account, you have to go to your profile and then click here
And then click here
Here it’ll ask you if you want to create a new account or access an existing one
Press “log in to an existing account”
Then you wanna choose “switch account” and you’ll arrive at the login page of Instagram
What you wanna do now is type in your username and then click on the blue option where it says “forgot password”
After you tapped on that, you’ll come to this page here
Sometimes the Instagram algorithm will find automatically the page you had before with this specific username or email showing your password
So, if it is right, well, you just find your password and you won’t need to reset it
But if the password is wrong or Instagram doesn’t find automatically the password associated with your account, you have to type in the email address, the username or the phone number associated with your account
At this point, this blue button “next” will come up and you can tap it
Now it’ll go ahead and it’ll ask you for the confirmation code
So what you wanna do now is to go on to your email (or message received if you used your phone number) and submit the code that Instagram has sent you right here
If you don’t see any new email or message, make sure to wait a couple of minutes and check in the spam folder, but if the code doesn’t arrive, click “resend a new code”
If the code still doesn’t arrive, make sure to do a step back and check if you’ve inserted the right email address or the right phone number
After entering the code that Instagram sent you, click next
You'll be redirected to a new page and here you’ll be able to change your password..and that’s it!
You only need to remember your phone number or your email address associated with that account and you’re done
Really easy right?
Once you changed the password, you’ll only need to come over to the Instagram login page and type in your username and your new password
Now, let’s see how you can recover your Instagram account without the email address, phone number, password, and any Facebook account associated!
This is also really simple and in a few steps, you’ll be able to access your loved account!
First of all, you want to go to Instagram
If you are just logged in to another account, go to your profile and click here
And then click here
Here it’ll ask you if you want to create a new account or access an existing one
Press “log in to an existing account”
Then you wanna choose “switch account” and you’ll arrive at the login page of Instagram
What you wanna do now is type in your username and then click on the blue option where it says “forgot password”
After you tapped on that, you’ll come to this page here
If you have a Facebook account associated with your Instagram account, you can easily log in using Facebook
They will ask you for confirmation on your Facebook page and then you’ll be able to enter in your Instagram account
But if you don’t have it connected with your Facebook I’ll show you how to get it!
So, what you wanna do is tapping on “login help”
You’ll be redirected to a new page and here you’ll have to type in your username and then click next
Now, you can send an email or log in with Facebook, but both of them are not possible for you, so you can click on “need more help?”
You’ll be redirected to a page that can help you recover your password and the best way to do it is to go over “I think my Instagram account has been hacked”
If you open this one, it will explain to you all the actions that you have to take to secure your account if your account has been hacked
It says that you can check your email address, but you don’t know it
Then it says that you can check your phone number, but you don’t know it either
So what you wanna do is to go over to Gmail and message the Instagram support manually and you want to write:
at: support@instagram.com
subject: account recovery
Dear support,
my Instagram account is lost.
I don’t know the phone number or the email address
(Here you have to add some detail to your account like “In this account, there are pictures of me”, “I published these type of stories” or anything that allows the Instagram support to understand that you’re the actual owner of this account)
Have a great day
In the following hours, they will reach out to you asking for some proof that you’re the actual owner of the account, and then, once they verify them, they will allow you to reset your password and access your account!
So, that’s pretty much everything you have to do if you want to recover your account and you don’t have your email address or your phone number
I hope this article has been useful and clear
Now you’ll be able to access your Instagram account even if you don’t have the email or the phone number associated
Remember that, if you’re not the owner of the page, it will be impossible for you to access the page because the Instagram support team will verify if you’re the actual owner of the page and will ask you to submit some kind of proof to verify your ownership
