Resetting Instagram ID password is so easy that you will think, “Oh, it was so simple?” So let’s start from the hook – if you read this post till the end, then you can bring your account back under your control, no matter how big the problem is! Ready? Let’s dive in!

Step-by-Step Process to Reset Password

Friends, Instagram has made the process of resetting the password very straightforward. I will explain every step in detail to you so that you do not get confused. So pick up your phone or laptop and come with me:

Go to the login screen

First of all open the Instagram app or go to the Instagram website in the browser. If you have forgotten the password, you will see the option of “Forgot Password?” This small link is your superhero – click on it!

Enter your username or email

Now you have to enter your Instagram username, email, or phone number which is linked to your account. This step is important, because this is how Instagram will identify you.

You will get a verification code

After entering the details, Instagram will send you a code – either on your email or phone number. Check your mailbox or messages, and note down that 6-digit code. If your email or number has changed, don’t worry – I will share a workaround below.

Verify the code and set a new password

Enter the code, and boom! You will get the option of a new password. Create a strong password – something that has letters, numbers, and symbols. Don’t keep “Password123”, otherwise hackers will dance with joy!

Login and check

After setting a new password, try to login. If everything goes smoothly, you will be back to your Instagram world – reels, stories, everything is waiting for you!

If you don’t have Email/Phone Access, then what?

Now you are thinking, “Bhai, my email or number is old, what now?” No worries, Instagram has given a solution for this too. When you click on “Forgot Password?”, you will get an option of “Need more help?” below.

By clicking on this, you can request the Instagram support team. After a little verification (like ID proof or account details), they will give you back the access. It may take some time, but it will work!

Bonus Tips – How to keep your account safe?

Even after resetting the password, if you want to avoid this problem in future, then follow these tips:

• Turn on 2-Factor Authentication: This is an extra layer that blocks hackers.
• Update Password Regularly: It is a good habit to change it every 3-6 months.
• Avoid Suspicious Links: Never click on any random link that comes in DM.
