I have forgotten my Instagram password and am unable to access my account. I tried the 'Forgot Password?' option, but I'm not receiving the reset email. What should I do next? Are there specific steps I need to follow to ensure I receive the reset instructions? Any help with this would be appreciated.

** First, launch the Instagram app on your mobile device.

** On the login screen, tap on 'Forgot Password?'.

** Input the email address or username associated with your Instagram account.

** Ensure that you've entered the correct email address. Sometimes, the email might land in the spam or junk folder, so double-check there.

** If you still haven't received the email, attempt these solutions:

  • Verify the email address for typos and try re-entering.
  • Ensure your email service isn't blocking Instagram emails.
  • Wait a few minutes and try the reset password option again.

** If you’re not getting the email reset link, attempt resetting your password using the phone number linked to your Instagram account.

** As a last resort, use the Instagram Help Center to report the issue. They may help recover your account.

Hopefully, these tips will guide you through successfully resetting your password.

** Sometimes, trying to reset your password via the Instagram website on a desktop browser can be more effective.

** If you are not receiving the reset email, it might be due to app cache. Clear the cache and data of the Instagram app in your phone settings and try again.

** If your email provider uses strong spam filters, it's possible the email from Instagram is being blocked. Temporarily disabling these filters or adding Instagram's email domain to your whitelist might help.

** Check Instagram's social media channels for any known system issues that could be causing email delivery problems.

These recommendations may give you another angle to tackle the problem.
