  1. Hello,
    I have a problem with the access to the instagram but on every device. First it was “sorry there was a problem “message, after that they asked me to confirm its my account by entering a code which they sent on a phone number I dont have access to, and now I cant log in anymore. Its sending me again sorry message. What can I do?
    Thanks

    • If you had used email address on your Instagram account then you can recover your account via that email address or write to instagram help centre manually.

  2. So my question is, I’ve been facing the whole “sorry there was a problem with your request” thing for months now. I can log into my main account which is through Facebook, but can’t log in to my second account. If I factory reset is it a guaranteed way to work? I don’t want to reset and it won’t work.

  3. Hey so my problem is I get the sorry there was a problem with your request message
    But I can log in on the web and on my friends phone. How can I get it back to where I can log in on my phone through the app. Even my email or phone reset links don’t work. I just continue getting the “Sorry the was a problem with your request” using the app but on web or another phone no problem logging in.

  4. It keeps saying “sorry, there was a problem with your request. ” I waited a little while and tried again. it said there was a suspicious log in attempt, and made me send a email with a pin on it. then I put the pin in and it says “Thank you, please log in now.” when I try to log in it just doesnt log me in. It shows the loading but it does enter the app. How can I fix this?

      • hello, my problem is that, two days ago instagram put me a message “sorry you will be disconnected from your account, you or someone may be changing the password” and after I believed was a hacker so I changed my password … but after changing it, I could not log in anymore, every time I got the message “sorry there was a problem with your request »Would appear! and even when I was trying to connect with my other account! I can not connect to any account anymore !! but oddly, on the browser, it works without any problem! and so i tried to disable my account with which i had the problem but instagram told me “you can only disable your account once a week” … but i never turn off any of my accounts. and I can not register via the application, otherwise instagram says “you have been disabled for violating community rules” or something like that … help me please. I would like to try Parallel Space but I’m afraid I will never be able to access my Instagram account via the app on my current phone that I just bought … (on a friend’s phone, the connection walk without problem !!)

        • As Instagram has banned your device’s IP address so you will not be able to log in that account to your mobile via the application. the only resolution now to use that account on application that you factory reset your mobile phone or use via parallel space applicaton or another resolution is that you can root your device and then change the values on instagram application.

  18. Hello. I tried going to my second account and it said “you have been logged out of *username*. The account owner may have changed the password”. Whenever I try to log in it says “sorry, there was a problem with your request” even if I type in the wrong password. I know I confirmed this account with my email but when I try to reset my password with the email it says “sorry, this email is not associated to any account”. I don’t think I was hacked, because when I try searching for the account it says “user not found”. How can I get it back?

    • had you linked your Facebook account or mobile number with that account? If yes then you can recover your account else there is no chance.

  25. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH! I tried the first method and it worked like a charm! I don’t know why this happened, considering I don’t post anything that needs to be banned or violates the guidlines, but I’m so grateful I found this!

  27. Just got a new oneplus 5t phone and installed instagram, forgot my password so I decided to reset it. I did but got the”sorry there was a problem with your request” message. After changing my password 3 times, same thing. Parallel apps did not help, error still happened. Changing to data instead of wifi also did nothing. I cannot log in from facebook, it gives me the same error. .Uninstalled then reinstalled it but its still there… Ugh would factory reset fix this or am i out of luck?

  31. Hey I am getting the service error on my IOS device. And i cannot login via chrome either. When i enter the username and password on chrome , it takes me to suspicious activity detected and there is an option to get a security code via email or phone. After I enter the security code , it takes me back to the login page and the chain continues. Is there a way out?
