Step-by-Step Guide to Reset Instagram Password from Mobile
Step 1: Search for “Forgot Password” in Instagram App
First of all, open your Instagram app. On the login screen, click on “Forgot Password?” You will see an option – this is usually below email or phone number. Click on it.
Quick Tip: If you have any issue in the app, you can try this from the browser as well. Just open the official website of Instagram and follow the same process.

Step 2: Enter your Email, Phone Number, or Username
Now a new page will open where you have to enter your email address, phone number, or username which is linked to your Instagram account. Enter this and tap on “Next”.
If you don’t remember the email or phone number, you may be a little tensed, but chill! You can see other ways by clicking on the “Need more help?” option. I will tell you about it in more detail below.
Step 3: Check the Reset Link or Code
Now Instagram will send you a password reset link or a 6-digit code. This depends on whether you chose email or phone number:
Email Option: Check your Gmail, Yahoo, or whatever email you use inbox. Instagram email will come with the subject “Password Reset”.
Phone Number Option: You will get a 6-digit code in SMS.
Important: Sometimes the email goes to spam or junk folder, so check there once too. And yes, wait 2–3 minutes for the code or link, sometimes the network is slow.
Step 4: Create a New Password
If you chose the link option, click on the link you got in your email. This will take you to a page where you can set a new password. If you chose the code option, enter the code and go to “Next”, and then you will get the option to enter a new password.
Strong Password Tips:
- Keep a password of minimum 8 characters.
- Use a mix of letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and special characters (@, #, $).
- Avoid passwords that are easy to guess, like “password123” or “name2025”.
Step 5: Login and have fun!
After the new password is set, go back to the Instagram app, enter your username and new password, and done! You are back in your account. Now whether you want to watch reels, upload stories, or comment on your friends’ posts – everything is ready!
What if you forgot your Email or Phone number?
Now this is a little troublesome, but I won’t leave you alone! If you don’t remember your Email or Phone number, try these steps:
- Try Facebook Login: If your Instagram account is linked to Facebook, try the “Log in with Facebook” option. This works if you have connected both accounts before.
- Instagram Help Center: Click on “Need more help?” in the app. You can contact Instagram’s support team from there. You may need to provide some details like your account username or your previous email.

3 Pro Tips to Avoid Forgetting Password
Now that you have got your account back, let’s do a little planning so that this problem does not happen again:
Use Password Manager
Apps like Google Password Manager or LastPass can safely save your passwords. Set it once, and forget it!
Turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Go to the “Security” section in Instagram settings and enable 2FA. This will prevent anyone else from hacking your account.
Add Backup Email/Phone Number
Add an extra email or phone number in your account settings. It will come in handy if you ever need it in the future.
