If your password has been stolen
What if someone accessed your account without permission? That this is the case can be confirmed thanks to the emails that Instagram sends every time you log in. If the location on the notification doesn’t match where you live, or you haven’t logged into your account recently, it’s possible that someone has accessed your profile without permission. In this case, it is best if you change your password. You can do this directly in the email by clicking on the link Secure your account here (secure your account here) click.

When your account has been suspended
When it comes to recovering a suspended account, the solution is to contact Instagram and ask them to assess your case. To do this, visit the Instagram help center at the URL https://help.instagram.com/contact/606967319425038. Then you fill in the form fields that you see on the screen.

Use the send button to send the information. From this point all you can do is be patient and wait for an answer.
If you have temporarily deactivated your account
Restoring a temporarily disabled account is very easy. Just enter your login details on the main screen.
Log in to Instagram
By tapping the Log Inbutton will reactivate your profile on the social network.
If you have permanently deleted your profile
Finally, let’s talk about recovering accounts that have been permanently deleted. When a user submits a request to have their profile deleted, Instagram keeps it for 30 days. The owner of the account can then get it back if they change their mind. If you are within this period, log in as normal through the Instagram app or website to recover your account. If you log into your profile, the request for deletion will be cancelled.
However, if it has been more than a month since you requested deletion of your profile, it is not possible to restore it. In this case, you have no choice but to create a new account with the same email address, no longer being able to use the username from your previous account.
