A disabled account, hacked account, forgotten password, and deleted account require different official recovery paths.
Request review in Instagram
Sign in, follow the on-screen disabled-account notice, provide accurate identity information, and submit the available review request once.
Secure connected access
Change the email password, review active sessions, secure the phone number, and enable two-factor authentication after regaining access.
Avoid recovery scams
