To change an Instagram password without knowing the old password, the main method is to reset the password using your registered email address, phone number, or username linked to the Instagram account. Instagram sends a password reset link or a code via email or SMS that allows you to create a new password without needing the old one. This process can be done directly from the Instagram app or through a web browser.
How to Reset Instagram Password Without Old Password:
- Open the Instagram app or go to the login page.
- Tap "Forgot password?" or "Get help logging in."
- Enter your username, email address, or phone number linked to the account.
- Instagram will send a reset link or code to your email or phone.
- Use the link or enter the code to set a new password.
- Complete the steps to confirm the password change.
Additional Options:
- If you have Facebook linked to your Instagram, you can reset the password via Facebook.
- Advanced password recovery tools like EaseUS Key Finder may help recover saved passwords from your device if you have previously logged in there (requires PC access).
- The key aspect is you must have access to the email or phone number linked to your Instagram account for verification.
This process works on both Android and iOS devices as well as on PC browsers.
