Our nonprofit, Open Arms [redacted], recently launched an Instagram account. With three of us managing it from Illinois and Tennessee, we began sharing photos of our team and outreach work.

I believe my Instagram account has been compromised as I am unable to access it. Despite attempting to reset the password, I seem to be directed to a different account that is not mine. I have tried using the recovery options but have not received any emails regarding the changes made to my account. I have submitted multiple requests for assistance online but have not received any responses. I am desperate to regain access to my Instagram account.

I recently updated my Instagram account email from [redacted] to [redacted] by mistake. Unfortunately, [redacted] is not my email and I am unable to access it. However, I have my phone number linked to that account, [redacted], and I know the password. Instagram is now asking me to verify the email, but since I don't have access to it, I cannot complete the verification process. I heard a friend resolved a similar issue by having Instagram log into the account and change the email back to [redacted], which they were able to verify. I'm hoping Instagram can assist me in the same way. Thank you for any help you can provide.

I was enabling two-factor authentication on my account when a page requesting email verification popped up, asking for a code which I never received despite multiple attempts. I reached out to Instagram for assistance, but haven't received any help. Even though I have my recovery codes ready due to having two-factor authentication enabled, I am not given an option to use them as the verification code never arrives. This seems to be a technical issue as I continuously fail to receive the code needed for verification. Resolving this would be simple once I receive the missing code.

Hello, I'm struggling to access my Instagram account, Locksoflove_essex, which is a business page representing my shop located in Grays, Essex. Following a devastating fire in my shop due to an arson attack in August [redacted], I've been using Instagram to connect with my clients, but I've been unable to log in. The last photos I posted were of the fire. While waiting for my new iPhone to be repaired, I'm using an old one, but I can't seem to access my account or find it on Instagram. I've tried providing proof of identity by sending passport photos, but only receive unsuccessful password reset links. It seems I've been hacked, as the hacker changed my email and phone number, leaving me locked out of my own account. Please assist me in resolving this situation. Thank you.

Hello, I am experiencing difficulties with my Instagram account. I am unable to log in due to the app indicating my password is incorrect, which I have not changed. I am unable to use the "password reset link" as I do not have access to the email associated with my account. In January, I faced a similar issue and regained access after contacting Instagram support for a password reset link. Unfortunately, I do not know the email linked to my account to reset my password via email verification. Even after explaining this to Instagram support, they continue to send the reset link to the inaccessible email. I have tried reaching out to Instagram, but only receive automated responses. My account name is kezzanede, and my contact details are [redacted] and [redacted]. I kindly request assistance in speaking with an Instagram representative to resolve this issue and send the reset link to my correct email. Thank you, Kellie

I have been experiencing a recurring issue for some years now and urgently need access to Instagram on my iPhone. I manage a band and require access to the account to post and promote because I am solely responsible for the band's income stream. Unfortunately, I have been unable to log into any accounts on my phone due to a past incident with an ex in [redacted]. We shared accounts, but after our breakup, she somehow got her account terminated, which has now affected my ability to access Instagram. I have been attempting to resolve this for a while now, but it seems there is no other solution at present. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, ISAAC.

I was trying to do two-factor authentication and got stuck on the email confirmation page. I clicked to receive the code on my email, but I'm not receiving it. After entering my username and password, I'm still stuck on that page. I need a code from you to resolve this issue. I have some recovery codes, but they are not helping since the system is asking for a 6-digit code to verify my email. The problem seems to be with my email address. If you could provide me with a code to move forward, that would be greatly appreciated.

My Instagram account got deactivated over copyright issues. It was a misunderstanding and the reports were removed. Despite this, my account is still down. I request the swift reactivation of my account. It had over 3 million followers, and I value it highly. I assure you that no further issues will arise, as it was simply a miscommunication by the complainants.

I recently set up a new account to showcase my personal photography work using my camera. However, Instagram has been preventing me from posting for the past week. This is very frustrating because the essence of Instagram is sharing and expressing oneself, which I am currently unable to do. I keep receiving a message stating that my account is blocked until the following day to "protect the community." I have been an active member of this platform since [redacted] and it is disheartening to face this continuous issue. I urge Instagram to cease blocking my account and investigate the cause of this problem. Despite my attempts to address this through other channels, it seems that Instagram support is not providing a timely response.

I encountered an issue with the two-factor authentication process on my app. After verifying my phone number, I was prompted to verify my email address by entering a code sent to my email. Unfortunately, I did not receive the code needed to proceed further. Upon entering my username and password, I am unable to access my account as I am stuck on the verification code page. Although I have recovery codes, they are not assisting with this particular problem. Possible solutions are: 1. Provide me with the six-digit verification code. 2. Disable the two-factor authentication temporarily so I can access my account. Please assist me in resolving this issue as I am unable to navigate away from the verification page despite having all necessary login credentials. Thank you for your help.

Hello, This morning, upon waking up, I realized that I am unable to access my Instagram account. The app indicates that the email address I entered is not associated with any account. It appears that my account has been hacked and the username has been changed to @mazuraarianna. The email address and password remain the same. Fortunately, there have been no alterations to my photos or account description. Previously, my account was under the name jonesn.one with the email address [redacted] Regrettably, I have not received any emails from Instagram regarding these modifications. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in recovering my account. Best regards, Jonas

Hello, my name is Saba Sheikh, and my Instagram ID is sabasheikh8414. I created this account by connecting it to Facebook in [redacted], and I have never changed the password. The phone number linked to my Facebook account, [redacted], was automatically uploaded to Instagram. However, after some days, I discontinued the use of the number [redacted], which has now been taken by someone else. I have forgotten my Instagram password and the reset link is being sent to my old number. I have updated my new number, [redacted], on Facebook, but the Instagram link is not getting updated. Kindly change the number for the forget link. I do not have an email address, so I am providing my brother's email [redacted] for responses. Thank you.

Hello, I have two Instagram accounts, and I mistakenly thought they were both linked to the same email address. Unfortunately, my phone has been acting up today and has logged me out of one of the accounts. I forgot the password and tried to send a recovery email, only to realize I entered the email incorrectly. The account I am having trouble with is my work account, which I can verify as mine with photos and connections to my other account. I need help recovering this account as I have put in a lot of effort on it. Thank you.

This Monday morning, I discovered that my Instagram account had been hacked. The hackers changed my email and phone number, making it impossible for me to access my account. Additionally, they altered my handle name, so my friends couldn't find me anymore. I have submitted multiple reports to Instagram, but I only received one response. They requested a photo of myself with a code, which I promptly provided, but they denied me access. I am unsure of what else to do to recover my account and how to reach out to Instagram for further assistance. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

My former partner continues to persistently contact me despite my requests for space. I have blocked him on all platforms and even changed my phone number. However, he keeps creating new accounts under various names with no content except to contact me. Despite my efforts to restrict and block him, he keeps finding ways to reach out, including tagging me in posts. I am wondering if Instagram has measures in place to prevent him from creating more accounts.

We are currently unable to unblock the email address and have not received any response from Instagram support after reaching out again.

Good day, I am currently experiencing an issue with logging back into my account after disabling it a few days ago for a break. I am facing difficulty as my 2-step authentication app was deleted without backing up the data. Now, it is asking me to reconnect to my Instagram account, but I am unable to do so without the 6-digit verification code or the backup codes. Kindly assist me in regaining access to my account.
