Step 3 – Now, you can see the options to recover your account via SMS or Log into your Facebook.
But since we lost our email address and phone number; we can select the Need More Help option down below.
Step 4 – Up next, Instagram can ask if you want to proceed with one of your phone numbers to recover access through text. But we need to press the option “I can’t access this email and phone number” since we don’t have any.
Step 5 – You are now granted the Request Support Window, where we can insert the details of the account you want to recover. Enter the current email address you are using to receive your account authorization email.
Step 6 – Then, enter your old email address here so that Instagram can search for that email in their database.
Step 7 – When asked what type of account you are trying to access, just select the personal account if your account is personal. You can also select the type ‘Company and brand account’ if you are willing to recover your business account.
Step 8 – When asked what is the reason for this request?
Click from the options below as per the problem you are facing to recover. Such as, if you forgot your email, you can simply press, I forgot the email of my account.
Step 9 – If you are still having trouble finding your problem in the options, then simply click on the other, option shown below. If you want to share more information on the problem you are having to recover your account, you can always add more info at the bottom.

Step 10 – Now, click on the Request Support button shown in blue color.
