[Method] Get your disabled Instagram account back

Ok so lately some of the accounts that I purchased have been getting disabled (sometimes twice in a weeks time) and I managed to get them all back multiple times so I'll share what I did.

If you're receiving a message saying your account has been disabled for violating terms they give you the option of "letting them know" if they made a mistake. As far as my testing has gone, this has worked once for me. If it gets disabled multiple times they will say it CAN NOT be restored. BUT there's a way around that. You can claim that it was hacked!

First go to this URL: https://help.instagram.com/contact/740949042640030

Click "my account"

Then click NO (even if you can access the email account).

Enter the email address you'd like for them to contact you on.

Enter your username.

Enter the email address you used to set up the account.

I personally chose this option but I think you can use any of them: This account contains pictures that I've created or produced, but I'm not in themI clicked No.

I clicked Someone I don't know.

For how they accessed my account I put "Not sure."

Then upload a photo from your account. I actually don't think this is even that important because on some of my accounts I wasn't even sure which photo was on which account so it may have been wrong.

Then I received an email requesting the following...

1. A brief description of the issue you're experiencing, including the date you last had access to your account and how you lost access
2. The email address you used to sign up for your account

So I sent this exact response (just removed my personal info). The email below is actually true. I was sending them emails from the email address on the account but they kept bouncing back to me for some reason but they did work from a hotmail address I had.

Hello,

I'm trying to login to one of my accounts with the username MyInstaUsername. It's currently not allowing me to login using my password.

The email on the account is [email protected]. I do have access to that email but for some reason when I send from that email your emails keep bouncing back and I have to use hotmail.

Here's the response I get when I try...

They then responded with this...

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us. Before we can help, we need you to confirm that you own this account. Otherwise, we can't be sure that we're helping the right person.

Please reply to this email and attach a photo of yourself holding a hand-written copy of the code below.

315211878

The photo you send us must:

- Include the above code hand-written on a clean sheet of paper, followed by your full name and username
- Clearly show both the code and your face
- Be saved and attached to your reply as a JPEG file

Please note that even if your account doesn't include any pictures of you or you use this account to represent someone or something else, we still need a photo that meets all three of the above requirements.

We won't be able to help until we receive a photo that meets these requirements.

Thanks,

Victoria

I did exactly that and my account was restored within a few business days.

Hope that helps some of you! Let me know if you have any questions.

problem is if you have to do it several times ...... where you get the pics then ... fiver ????

No, you basically file it as hacked - I got my account back that way.

Your way is very similiar though!!

He's probably referring to the photos with a code that you're required to send to confirm your identity.

Holy shit I actually got that automated reply back (the code thing) doing the above to the 135K account of mine that smoked about a year ago....

Oh yea, just take a pic with your phone real quick holding a piece of paper. I don't quite understand why they need it, but it does the trick

Good luck man...it should work! Keep me updated. I'm curious if it works on an account that old.

Looks like it could die if too many people copy that exact text.

Anyways this is golden good for all it lasts.. Keep it up, I stopped with Instagram, but can use this model for other means (social websites.)

I appreciate your creativity !

I don't think the text in the email is that important really as long as you follow the process. Feel free to change it up, it should be fine.

This is a 100% automated process from Instagram, so it doesn't make any difference whatever you write. I've written everything from a real explanation like you, to just "The requested photo is attached", and every time just getting the automated reply that my account is now re-activated and they are sorry for the inconvenience.

I got a reply from Elliot which looks like a copy and paste job.....saying that it got disabled due to ' insert default list of things that will be you banned'.

So I replied that I understand that but my account was hacked and the hacker was responsible for the disable and that's why I am messaging.

I think it may be the end of the road for me ill be surprised if they reply back to that.

I bookmark this post if I get any problem with Instagram. Thank you

So you took the photo with the code after claiming it was hacked and sent it and they replied with that?

I was told they could not restore one of my accounts after I used the "let us know if we made a mistake" on a disabled account option but then once I used the hacked process, they enabled it again. Make sure you claim it hacked rather than using the "let us know" option on a disabled account. As far as my testing has gone, you can only do that once. Even if you respond to them saying it's hacked, make sure you go through that whole process.

Oh weird ok. Let me know if they respond. I would try maybe doing the hacked process all over with a different email if they had your email on file before.

--oops see above

Really stupid noob questions, when reactivated--will it be with the new email address provided and old password? Are you providing your real full name, here?
Also, do you think this would work with an account that hasn't been deactivated but rather dead for over a year? Thanks for sharing.
