Quick start (for most people)

• go to the official login page
  – type the site address manually in your browser bar.
  – check for the padlock (https) and correct spelling.

• select “forgot password” or “can’t log in?”
  – enter your email, mobile number, or username.

• choose a verification option you still control
  – receive a code by SMS or email and enter it exactly as shown.
  – if you have multiple emails/phones, try each one.

• create a new, strong password
  – minimum 12 characters; mix letters, numbers, and symbols.
  – don’t reuse passwords from other sites.

• secure the account
  – turn on two-factor authentication (2FA).
  – review recent logins and sign out of unfamiliar devices.

Detailed recovery paths

• A) you forgot the password, but still have your phone/email

  1. start the password reset flow from the official login page.

  2. select SMS or email code delivery.

  3. enter the code within the time limit (usually a few minutes).

  4. set a new password and log in.

  5. run the security checkup: change password on other sites if reused.

  if the code doesn’t arrive:

  • wait 60 seconds and request again; check spam/junk folders.

  • confirm your phone has signal and isn’t blocking short codes.

  • sync your phone’s time (automatic time setting helps with code validity).

  • avoid too many attempts; if rate-limited, wait a few hours.

B) you lost access to your phone or email

1. start the recovery flow and look for “no longer have access to these?”

2. add a new email you control for future updates.

3. answer identity questions or previous info prompts (where offered).

4. submit the request and monitor your new email for instructions.

5. once back in, update your primary email/phone and enable 2FA with an authenticator app.

note: some platforms may ask for a government-issued ID in-app to verify you. upload a clear, unedited photo that matches the account name; crop only to remove background and avoid filters.

C) you think your account was hacked

• if you can still log in, immediately:

  • change the password;

  • sign out of other devices;

  • review connected apps and remove anything suspicious;

  • turn on 2FA (authenticator app preferred over SMS).

• if you cannot log in, follow the password reset flow first.

• during recovery, you may be asked to confirm recent activity—mark unfamiliar actions as “not me.”

• after access is restored, check profile details, email/phone, and ad payment settings (if any) for changes.

D) you see “account temporarily locked,” “disabled,” or “suspended”

1. read the exact message; it usually links to an appeal or review form.

2. submit the form once, accurately:

   • explain what happened in brief, neutral language;

   • attach requested documents only (no edited or altered images);

   • use the same name and birth date that appear on official documents.

3. wait for a response; multiple submissions can slow reviews.

4. avoid creating new accounts during an appeal—this can complicate reinstatement.

two-factor authentication (2FA) issues

• lost authenticator device: use backup codes you saved earlier, or the “can’t access 2FA?” option to switch to email/SMS (if offered).

• time mismatch: ensure your phone’s time is set to automatic.

• no backup codes: you’ll need to use the platform’s account recovery path and verify identity through available methods.

Security checklist after recovery

• update email and phone numbers.

• create a unique password (store it in a reputable password manager).

• enable 2FA with an authenticator app and store backup codes offline.

• review authorized devices and connected apps; remove anything you don’t recognize.

• turn on login alerts.

• double-check privacy and ad/account spending settings.

common mistakes to avoid

• sharing OTPs or recovery links with anyone (including so-called “agents”).

• paying third parties who claim guaranteed recovery.

• uploading edited or fake IDs (will lead to rejection).

• repeating the recovery form many times in one day.

• logging in through links from emails/messages—navigate manually instead.

quick FAQs

is there a phone number to call?
major social platforms typically don’t offer phone support for account recovery. use the in-app/web recovery tools only.

how long does recovery take?
it varies by case—some are instant after code entry; appeals or ID reviews can take longer. submitting accurate info once is best.

can someone else recover my account for me?
no. recovery should be done by the account owner using official tools. never share passwords or codes.

will this guide work for business pages?
if your personal profile controls a business asset, restore the profile first via the official flow, then verify business details in the platform’s business settings.
