Short answer

If your Facebook account is disabled and you used "Log in with Facebook" for Instagram, try logging in to Instagram with your username, email or phone number and reset the password by email or SMS. Your Instagram account is usually separate. Once in, set a password, update contact details and remove the disabled Facebook from Accounts Center if needed.

Summary
  • Instagram is usually separate from a disabled Facebook.
  • Use password reset with your email or phone.
  • Set an Instagram password.
  • Update contact details.
  • Instagram can also be affected if both broke rules.

#What common mistakes should I avoid?

  • Waiting for Facebook to be restored first.
  • Creating a new Instagram account.
  • Leaving no email or phone on Instagram.
  • Using the same password on both.

#When should I ask an expert before I act?

Ask for help before you appeal if the account matters to your income, your business or your memories, if you have already had one appeal rejected, or if you cannot tell whether the problem is a bug, a restriction or a hack. That is where most avoidable losses happen.
