Changing your Instagram password on your iPhone will be easier if you have access to your old password. Then, what can you do if you forgot your old password? Can you still change your Instagram password on your iPhone even without your old password?

For those who want to change your Instagram password on their iPhone but you forgot your old password, the good news is that you are still able to change it. The only thing that you need to be able to do is your email address or your phone number that is linked to your Instagram account. If you know one of them, it is guaranteed that you will be able to change your Instagram password even without knowing the old password.

There are a total of two methods to try to change your Instagram password on iPhone without the old password. The first one is for those who are logged in to your Instagram account. If it is the case, it will be easier for you to reset your Instagram password as there will be no need for you to enter your email address or your phone number. Here is the guide to follow to change the Instagram password in iPhone without old password for those who are logged in to your account:

How to Change Instagram Password Without Old Password in iPhone

    1. First and foremost, you should launch an app called Instagram.
    2. When it launches, go to your profile.
    3. On the profile, tap on the menu icon. If you have no idea where it is, it is located in the top right corner of the page.
    4. The second thing that should be tapped is Settings.
    5. Please choose Security on the Settings page.
    6. Then, choose Password, the one that is found under the Login security section.
    7. Now, it is time for you to click the Forgot your password? option. This one is located at the bottom of the page.
    8. By following the step, you will receive a password reset link via your email address or your phone number that is linked to your Instagram account. To be able to get the password reset link, please check one of these two. To make it easier, actually, the email address or the phone number that will receive the reset link will be displayed on the screen so you will not be confused.
    9. After getting the reset link, please click it so that you will be directed to the Instagram app in order to reset or to change your password.
    10. Now, you should enter your new password two times in the respective fields and then continue the process by tapping the right icon located at the top of the page.
    11. In the next step, you will be asked if you want Instagram to remember your login info. If you want it, you can just tap the Save Password option to remember the login info. If you disagree with it, instead of choosing the Save Password option, please tap Not Now. If you are using your own device, you are recommended to save the login info so in case you lose the password again, you will be able to log into your Instagram account directly with the help of it. However, if the device belongs to someone else, forget about it.

The second method is for those who are logged out of your Instagram account. If you are logged out of your Instagram account but you do not recall your password, first of all, it is important for you to make sure that you know the email address or the phone number that is linked to your Instagram account. There is no way for you to change your Instagram password if you do not remember any of them.

After making sure that you remember the email address or the phone number that is linked to your Instagram account, it is time for you to change your Instagram password in iPhone by following these following instructions:

    1. The first thing that you have to do is to open your favorite browser on mobile and go to the official website of Instagram at instagram.com.
    2. When you are on its homepage, find the Forgot password? option and tap it.
    3. On the next page, enter either the email address or the phone number that is linked to your account.
    4. Do not forget to tap Send Login Link right after that.
    5. In the end, you will get the reset link that will be sent to either the email address or the phone number that you entered before. In case you do not remember the email address or the phone number that is linked to your Instagram account, you are suggested to enter your Instagram username in the text field and then tap the Send Login Link button. Just like that, Instagram will immediately identify and send a password reset link to either the email address or the phone number that is linked to your Instagram account. If you have no idea which one to check to be able to get the link, you can just see the screen as the partial text about it will be displayed.
    6. After knowing which one to check, the next thing that you have to do is to go to either the email address or the phone number that is linked to your Instagram account and then tap the link to be taken to your app.
    7. In this step, you will have to enter your new Instagram account two times in the respective fields.
    8. Once you are done entering these, continue further by tapping the right icon located at the top of the page.

Once again, it will be easier for you to change your Instagram password on your iPhone if you know the old one. However, you will not get any obstacles to change your Instagram password if you have access to either the email address or the phone number that is linked to your Instagram account.
