How do I get access to my Instagram which was hacked and original email id and phone number was changed

If you've lost access to your Instagram account due to hacking and the original email id and phone number has been changed, you can still recover it. Upon accessing the login page, tap 'Need more help'. Fill in the requested details which include your user-name, email associated with the account, and a new email address to be contacted at. Once the form is submitted, you'll receive an automatic email from Instagram for verification. You must reply to this email with the required information. Instagram support will then verify your ownership and should help you regain access to your account. Remember to change your password immediately after recovery. If you're already logged in on another device, change your password from there.

J'ai oublié mon mot de passe Instagram et mon compte a été désactivé

Désolé d'entendre parler de votre problème! Si vous avez oublié votre mot de passe Instagram, vous pouvez le réinitialiser en utilisant soit votre nom d'utilisateur, votre numéro de téléphone ou votre email. Lorsque votre compte Instagram est désactivé, cela veut généralement dire que vous avez enfreint les règles d'Instagram. Dans ce cas, vous pouvez faire appel de la désactivation en remplissant un formulaire sur le site web d'Instagram. Notez cependant qu'Instagram prend la décision finale quant à savoir si votre compte peut être réactivé ou non.

My Instagram account is hacked

We are sorry to hear about that. To recover your hacked account, start by requesting a login link from the Instagram app. Click the 'Forgot password?' link on the login screen and enter your username, email or phone number to get the reset link. If the hacker has changed your email, click on the option ‘need more help'. You will be asked to fill in the original sign up email or phone number. After you submit this, Instagram will reinstate your access. It's advisable to enable two-factor authentication for added security after you gain access. If you are still facing trouble, report it to Instagram directly.

My account was hacked and I haven't been able to recover it using Instagram online support. I am willing to provide supporting documentation including my ID but looks like it is impossible to interact with a human

We understand your concern. Unfortunately, Instagram doesn't offer live human support. Consider revisiting the Instagram Help Center and go through the process again. You'll be prompted to fill out a form for hacked accounts. Make sure you provide as much information as you can, including your username, your real name, phone number and email. After submitting the form, you'll receive an auto-response email from Instagram where you may be asked to provide identification. Respond directly to that email with your ID. Also ensure that your account doesn't violate Instagram's Community Guidelines, which could affect the recovery process.

Enter backup code Enter one of the eight-digit backup codes provided when you set up two-factor authentication. It may be saved as a screenshot on your phone.

Backup codes are one-use codes that Instagram provides when you set up two-factor authentication. If you can't use your phone number or authentication app to sign in, you can use one of these codes. To enter it, log into Instagram and when you reach the two-factor authentication page, click on 'Need another option?' then select 'Use backup code'. Input one of your eight-digit backup codes. Be aware each code can only be used once then it becomes invalid. Make sure to keep your backup codes safe and accessible, they can be essential if you lose access to your primary two-factor authentication methods.
