Recover Forgotten Instagram Password Without Email Easily

With apps that stay logged in for months and password managers built into your browser, forgetting your password is a normal everyday thing. But when it's something like and you don't even have access to the old email or phone, this could be a day-ruining disaster. For whatever reason, you've got to log back in and you barely remember making your password, much less what it was.

That's okay. Resetting your Instagram password could be quick and easy, or it could be a huge pain. The good news is that you don't have to make a new account. You won't lose all your precious history, friends, and following.

DoNotPay will make sure that forgetting the Instagram password isn't the end of the world. If Instagram doesn't reset your password in a way you can access, we'll make sure you get your account back.

How to Reset Your Lost Instagram Password Manually Through the App

Let's start with the in-app way to quickly get your Instagram password back. You can do this through Android, iPhone, and the web browser with similar steps.

  1. Go to the Login Page
  • Head to your login page on a browser or your phone's mobile app.
  1. Click "Forgot Password?"
  • Instead of trying to log in, tap the "Forgot Password?" link. This will take you to a follow-up screen.
  1. Enter Your Username, Email, and/or Mobile Phone Number
  • Enter one or all three of the requested account recovery fields. If you enter your username, it will look for the associated email or phone number.
  1. Get the Recovery Message & Follow the Link
  • If you have access to your original email or phone number, you should receive a recovery message. Follow the link to reset your email.
  • If you know the phone or email is correct and you don't receive the message, check your SPAM folder and email service. Otherwise, you might have been hacked and your recovery information changed.
  1. Enter Your New Password
  • If you find and follow the link, you should be able to make a new password. Save this password somewhere so the problem doesn't happen again.

What If You Can't Access the Instagram Recovery Email or Phone Number Anymore?

What happens if you can't recover your the normal way? This can happen if you can no longer access your original email or phone number that you signed up with.

Phone change? Sign up with a work or school email that you've left behind? Got hacked and someone changed your recovery data? This can be a real pain, and Instagram is— unfortunately—not there to help.

Here's the problem, you can't contact Instagram support. The support email doesn't answer anymore, and only redirects customers back to the help center. Instagram claims there is a link along the "Forgot Password?" route, called "Need More Help?" but this link is elusive. It may not be available, and referencing it in the help section is pretty misleading. If you see it, you're lucky and have a route in.

The help center provides no contact route. If you can't get into your Instagram account, you can't contact them in-app either. So even if you have photo evidence that your account belongs to you, or that you were hacked, you're pretty much out of luck for getting help from Instagram directly on account recovery.
