How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working

Methods of 2019
Since its launch in October 2010, Instagram has gone on to achieve remarkable success in the social media
space. The acquisition of the platform by Facebook in 2012 saw Instagram user rates increase
exponentially, to over 800-million daily active users by 2019.

“The Gram’s” rise to social superstardom came from its user-friendly interface, and entertaining
functionality. There was no longer a need to log onto Facebook and share a picture post, Instagram lets you
do everything within the app in a few clicks.

Millions of us enjoy sharing our stories and images on the IG every day. It’s an excellent way to stay in touch
with your loved ones, keep your eye on your favorite celebrities, and share the details of your life through a
visual platform.

The Problem with Passwords

Unfortunately, every technology has its aws. While the Instagram team regularly update their platform to
improve e ciencies and tasks within the app, there’s always going to be user-based problems that the
Instagram team can’t help you with when things go wrong.

One of the most common issues with Instagram accounts is that their owners frequently forget their
password. How many times have you signed up for an online service and physically written down your
password?

Most of us choose a generic password we use across multiple accounts. Sometimes, we might rely on the
automatic password generator to enter our characters before we hit save on the auto ll password form.
While this kind of privacy and security behavior is nothing short of horri c, it’s reasonably commonplace
across all demographics using social media platforms.

What Happens When Things Go Wrong?

Oh no, you’ve lost your Instagram password and can’t log into your account. What now? There are various
reasons why you may have forgotten your password. Maybe your phone crashed, you got an upgrade, or
you lost your phone and got a new one.

Whatever the reason for your problem, the conclusion is the same; you’re locked out, and you can’t get back
into your pro le.

The Solution to Your Problem – How to Hack Your Instagram Account

Fortunately, there are talented software developers out there that have spent their valuable time creating
products that help you get around the security protocols of an Instagram account. We’re going to look at
four di erent ways to hack your Instagram pro le and gain access to your images and stories.

Disclaimer and Terms for Reading This Post

After reading and learning these four methods to hack an Instagram password, you’ll have a working
knowledge of the process, with the potential for malicious use. We carry no liability for how you assimilate,
distribute, or use this information. Remember, it’s illegal to hack any other user’s social media
accounts.

Quick Navigation of Methods:

1. Hack Instagram Account Using Software
2. Using the Phishing Method
– How to Make Instagram Phishing Page
3. Using a Keylogger
4. By Guessing a Password
5. Using RAT to hack Instagram password
6. By Opening Saved Passwords Storage
Verdict: What is the Best Method?

1. Hack Instagram Account Using Software Tools

The “Brute-force” method describes a technique that uses specialized cracking software to achieve your
objective of hacking your account. Traditional brute-force methods required users to upload a .txt
document containing frequently used and updated passwords into their browser. The program runs
through the list, trying each password one-by-one until it nds a successful character combination.

These password cracking tools were popular until the introduction of specialized characters, random
password generators, and two-factor authentication arrived on the scene, reducing the e ciency of the
brute-force method.

Software developers saw a gap in this declining market, and many of them now issue cracking tools for free
download. One of the more famous examples of this software is, “Insta-Ripper” (O cial Website). This
program contains a built-in list of passwords that updated continuously by the app developers. The
program automates the tasks of running the passwords and cracking the account.

Another fantastic feature of the Insta-Ripper app is its stealth operation. It automatically spoofs your IP
address, hiding hackers from the prying eyes of ISP’s. The developers release new proxy IP’s each week,
keeping the list of fake addresses fresh.

Insta-Ripper also automatically clears cookies from the default browser, after the tool completes its
operational tasks. This feature keeps its actions covert, removing any traces of the application.

Password cracking time depends on various factors

including;

The speed of the internet connection.

CPU of the device running the program.
Password strength.

The password strength plays the most signi cant

role in these three factors. If the user chooses
special characters, such as “#@$%?” it may take the
app longer to crack the password. However, if the
password only contains letters and numbers, you
should have access in as few as little as a few
minutes.

The more powerful your CPU, the faster the

application runs, moving more password
combinations in less time. The speed of your
internet connection also plays a signi cant role in
cracking speed. Since the app is browser-facing, it
doesn’t require download of any excessively large les. However, the downside of this portability is that it
relies on bandwidth to determine the operating speed of the app.

You can run Insta-Ripper on most mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The
software works with all operating systems including Windows, Android, and iOS.

2. Using the Phishing Method

Everyone who’s searched hacking forums or articles on cracking an Instagram password has come across
the phishing method. Hackers themselves state that this is the easiest way to hack an account.

When people search online for information regarding hacking an account, they often come across phishing
because of its success rate and the social proof surrounding the reliability of the method.

Hackers simply create a fake Instagram login page and wait for the user to enter their account information
and password. The phony page records the details and sends them to the hacker in a text le for easy
access. The hacker now has the password for the account and can log on to the pro le whenever they
please.

Hackers build this fake login page through specialized apps designed to help Instagram users manage their
accounts more e ciently. In reality, it’s a back-door system intended to help you circumvent Instagram’s
security features. Another strategy involves emailing the link to the fake login page directly to the user,
hoping they will enter their details.

Once a hacker has access to your Instagram password, its reasonably easy for them to gain access to all of
your other social media accounts, including Twitter and Facebook. Facebook links to Instagram, and many

12/18/2019 How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working Methods of 2019 | SecurityEquifax

people use the same password for all of their social platforms.

Hackers monetize this data and sell it on the dark web for a tidy pro t. In some cases, the victim of the hack
won’t even know a hacker has compromised their account because the spoofed login page leads them
directly to their pro le as if nothing is out of the ordinary.

How Do Instagram Phishers Control Accounts?

Hackers use two di erent methods to control the victims pro le when gaining access to an Instagram
account – Stealth mode, and Owners mode.

Stealth Mode Control

When hackers penetrate the security of an Instagram pro le, they don’t have to change the passwords and
lock you out necessarily. Some choose to lurk in the shadows, monitoring your activity on the platform and
waiting for the perfect time to strike. When they have a thorough understanding of your Instagram
behavior, they may implement their strategy.

Some hackers choose to sit in stealth mode for months or years, waiting for an account to gain in uence
and followers. When they feel that the time is right, they may send out DM’s to targeted followers, asking
them for personal information.

Hackers then use this personal information to gain access to victim’s accounts and data. This data has use
in future hacks or acts as a commodity on the dark web, where they sell it to the highest bidder.

The user may not notice this activity by the hacker, as Instagram o ers the functionality of deleting DM’s
and ability to un-send messages.

Owners Mode
This mode of control describes the situation where a hacker gains access to your account and locks you out
completely. Upon circumventing Instagram security protocols, the hacker goes about changing the login
information and password of the user, disabling them from accessing their pro le and making it far harder
for the real owner to regain control of their account.

Accounts with large numbers of followers fetch a high price on the dark web or provide a hacker with
endless opportunities for selecting new victims to hack.

How to Create an Instagram Phishing Page from Scratch

Since phishing is such a popular topic for hacking any kind of online account password, we thought we
would give you everything you need to know about this method, in one post. To complete the phishing
page, you’ll need;

An internet connection.
Web Hosting account.
ig_login_page.rar le. Download it on your desktop. You’ll need it later.
To open this “.rar” archived le use WinRar sofware. You can download it here (o cial website).
– Password to open this le is “securityequifax” (Without quotes).

12/18/2019 How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working Methods of 2019 | SecurityEquifax

Once you’ve assembled all of this, it’s time to get to work. Follow this step-by-step guide to setting up a fake
Instagram login page.

Step 1 – Register a free hosting account at www.000webhost.com. You can also use some paid hosting if
you want – even better, because free ones can get banned if their system detects you’re using them for
phishing, which is against their Terms of Service policies.
Important: When you choose website name while registering, choose smart. This will later be your website
link you’re going to send to potential victims.
I’ve chosen “myigpage” for this demonstrative purpose.

Step 2 – Con rm your email address. Be patient as their email might come with delay. I’ve waited mine
around 8 minutes.

Step 3 – You’re ready to start building page. Go inside your account and choose “Upload Own Website”.

Step 4 – Now extract your “ig-login-page.rar” le you’ve previously downloaded in a new empty folder. You
should have 11 new les extracted from it.

Step 5 – Upload these 11 les into your new website. Choose “Upload Files” option from a upper right
corner.

Step 6 – Your phishing page should be ready now and working. Check it by visiting your link you’ve created
at beginning (your-username.000webhostapp.com) in a new tab of your internet browser.

When you open your link, Instagram fake login page should be shown. If you can’t see it, means you made
something wrong.

Step 7 – Now you need to use your imagination to fool your victims to login trough your link. Tricks which
hackers often use is they send fake emails to their victims saying something like “Someone tried to hack
your account. Login trough this link with valid password to con rm it’s yours.” And by this link you put your
phishing one.
There are so many techniques how you can trick your victims. Just be creative.

12/18/2019 How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working Methods of 2019 | SecurityEquifax

Step 8 – After someone entered their username and password into your fake IG login page, you can see
their login information by typing /password.html at the end of your link in a URL browser, and hit enter.

This is how it should look like. I’ve used “Mike” as an username, and “MikesPassword” for password.

Following this method, you’ll be able to set up and use a phishing page and analyze the results it brings to
you.

3. Hack an Instagram Account Password with a Keylogger

Keylogger software applications are increasing in popularity as a means to circumvent Instagram security
and break into a password-protected account. Here is a brief review of pout top 2 favorite keyloggers for
2019.

mSpy

mSpy is perhaps the most successful spying tool available online. You’ll need to pay a subscription fee
to access most of the features that let you hack an Instagram account, but the free demo trial allows you to;

View general information on the pro le.

Check activity on any cell phone.
See the last location known and ten most frequently called contacts.

When you pay your subscription fee, the service gives you access to the follo0wing features;

Ability to view all media les and direct links sent from the target account.
Ability to see all of the DM’s from the target account.
Ability to hack Instagram password and username.
Complete control over the target Instagram account.

Get mSpy by clicking the button below.

12/18/2019 How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working Methods of 2019 | SecurityEquifax

mSpy is an app built with stealth in mind, making it one of the most popular choices for a Keylogger on
practically any platform., The program works equally well on WhatsApp, Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter
accounts as well.

After installing the app on a device, you can remove any trace of it, hiding it from the view of the device
user. The app continues to work in the background and sending you the requested data. To access the
premium features of the app, you’ll need to purchase the premium package as well as root your iOS or
Android phone.

How to hack Instagram account and password with the mSpy Software Tool
We prefer using these Keylogger tools over the traditional brute-force of phishing methods. Developers
spent hours creating these e cient tools to reduce the time you spend on hacking an account. Therefore,
it’s so much easier to use a pre-built product, than trying to create a phishing page or guessing passwords.

Here is a step-by-step guide to using mSpy for hacking an Instagram password.

Step 1 – Root your Android or iOS device – this function only works with rooted devices.

Step 2 – Purchase the premium version of the mSpy software tool.

Step 3 – Purchase the family package to track or crack up to 3 devices.

Step 4 – Click the mSpy link and choose iOS or Android con guration.

Step 5 – Visit the control panel, select “Keylogger,” or “Instagram tracker.”

Step 6 – Execute the program and wait for results.

12/18/2019 How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working Methods of 2019 | SecurityEquifax

It’s important to understand the di erence between the Keylogger and Instagram tracker functions.
Keylogging allows you to record and access all of the keys pressed on the device’s keypad. The program
sifts through this information and deciphers the password to the Instagram account your targeting.

The Instagram tracking feature on mSpy gives you access to all of the messages exchanged between the
target pro le and their audience.

We like mSpy for its user-friendly interface and e ciency at cracking Instagram passwords. However, we
think that the premium subscription fee might be a little expensive for this product when there are others
out there o ering the same functionality at a better price.

XNSPY

We like this app for its e cient operation and snappy response time. XNSPY assists with all of the functions
you would expect from a premium Instagram hacking tool. XNSPY allows users to hack private accounts as
well, allowing you to see all of their posts and stories – without their knowledge or consent.

XNSPY keeps a backup of all of the images on the target accounts, and operates as a stealth app, running in
the background of other people’s mobile devices. The only thing we don’t like about XNSPY is that you need
to install it on the phone of the target account physically. The user won’t be able to see that the apps are
running, and it won’t show up in their app tray.

Here is a brief guide to using XNSPY to view another person’s Instagram.

Accessing an Instagram Account Using XNSPY

Step 1 – Subscribe to Xnspy and install it on your device and the target device.

Step 2 – Apple users can con gure an iCloud backup.

Step 3 – Wait for 48-hours for the app to transfer data from the target account to your XNSPY dashboard.

Step 4 – Log into cp.xnspy.com and enter your login information.

Step 5 – Navigate to the dashboard.

Step 6 – Visit “Photos.”

Step 7 – Click “search.”

Step 8 – Select “Instagram”

Step 9 – Select timeframe – ‘Today,’ ‘This Month,’ ‘This year’ or ‘All.’

Step 10 – Click “search.”

12/18/2019 How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working Methods of 2019 | SecurityEquifax

XNSPY is not a full-suite app like mSpy, but its e ectiveness at helping concerned parents keep an eye on
their kid’s social life. To pain control of an account, you’ll need to invest in the premium version of mSpy.

4. Hack an Account by Guessing a Password

We’ve all heard the warnings about the need to change our passwords every quarter, and always use a
random-generated password for the best security option. Given this fact, it’s surprising how many people
still refuse to adopt this basic internet security protocol.

A leading software security rm, SplashData, releases a list of the top-25 most common passwords every
year. If you nd yourself using any of these passwords, we suggest you change them immediately, as you’re
at high exposure risk of a hack.

SplashData estimates that over 70-percent of all online users have used one of these 25-passwords at some
point in their online experience.

Top 25 Most Common Passwords according to SplashData

1. 123456
2. Password
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. 12345
6. 123456789
7. letmein
8. 1234567
9. football
10. iloveyou
11. admin
12. welcome
13. monkey
14. login
15. abc123
16. starwars
17. 123123
18. dragon
19. passw0rd
20. master
21. hello
22. freedom
23. whatever
24. qazwsx
25. trustno1

If you’re trying to hack an Instagram account, and you know the person well, try using their birthday or the
names of their family members for the password. These options are also commonplace among over 60-

percent of all online users.

5. Using RAT to hack Instagram password

RAT – an abbreviation for “Remote Administration Tool” or popular named within hackers “Remote Access
Trojan” is an enhanced version of a keylogger. What that means?

A RAT is a tool which has a keylogger built inside, but many other features too! After victim’s PC is infected
with RAT, a hacker can manipulate their device without their knowledge such as: being able to see
everything in their folders, execute les and programs, monitor keystrokes, take screenshots from their
victims screens, open browser windows, and anything one can normally do on their computer.

A victim gets infected with RAT by executing suspicious les downloaded from internet from untrusted
sources, like torrents, crack/patch les for registering games/software and such. Hackers bind their RATs
with other “legit” looking les like images or .mp3 les or similar. After, they will try to trick their victim to
open it with various ways (Email messages/ warez forums/ torrents / chats etc.) binding it with another les
what users normally search. After le is ran, a RAT will silently install itself inside victims device, running
hidden in background.

Where to download RAT?

Before you start to search for one, be aware that most of the RAT download links which you can nd free to
download are infected and binded with other RAT which will infect your PC. If you’re not 100% sure a link is
clean, then rather don’t download.

I recommend either to buy it from some developers o cial website, or try to nd some for free on hacking
related forums. But ALWAYS look for users comments to see if there are some negative reports or
feedback.

Keep in mind that if your goal is to hack Instagram account, 95% (probably more) of users use Instagram
from their smartphone. And you will need a modern mobile spying tool, not classic RAT which is made
primarily for desktop computers.

> To get RAT for mobile phones, we recommend you to go with the mSpy.

If you prefer to try with a desktop PC kind of RAT, you can try to search for some of these (most popular
RATs for desktop use): Blackshades, NanoCore, DarkComet, Poison Ivy.

6. By Opening Saved Passwords Storage

If you’re low at budget at the moment to a ord yourself buying a keylogger, there is another trick you can
use to possibly see someones Instagram password. But this method will work only if you have a chance
for physical access to targets smartphone. So what it is about?

Both iPhone and Android phone users have an option to save accounts passwords inside their phone to
avoid typing them every time whey want to login somewhere. In case they didn’t protected access to their

https://securityequifax2017.com/how-to-hack-instagram-password-tutorial/#how-to-make-ig-phishing-page 10/21
12/18/2019 How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working Methods of 2019 | SecurityEquifax

stored passwords with their face/touch ID, you have a chance to see them!

For iPhone, go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Website & App Passwords.

For Android users, go to Google Settings > Saved Passwords > click “Google Account” link > Now it will
open Google Chrome browser with all saved passwords listed inside.

To see saved passwords on a desktop browser is much easier then on mobile devices.

On Chrome, in a upper right corner click the three dots icon then Settings > Passwords.

On Mozilla Firefox, It’s same icon location, click it then go to Logins and Passwords.

Privacy and the Moral Debate

The methods we covered in this article are e ective at breaking into an Instagram account, even one that
belongs to someone else. What we do with our knowledge is a vital test of our character. Don’t use this
information to hack other users account under any circumstances.

The United States legal system issues severe penalties for online fraud, and breaking into someone else’s
Instagram account is precisely that – fraud, and identity theft. In essence, people who steal other users
account access are copyright thieves that deserve punishment by the law.

These technologies o er tremendous values to employers and parents, helping them secure people, assets,
and family members. However, it may be tempting to be unethical in your use of the software. Before you
decide to install any third-party software on the phones and devices of your family and employees, it’s
important to think about the ethical and legal rami cations of your decision.

While it’s your prerogative on whether or not you install the software on your business assets, some
employees may object to your actions as snooping on their behavior and an invasion of privacy. It’s
essential to receive legal advice on the matter and ensure your employees have no recourse to sue you in
the case that you discover any unauthorized communications or data transfer.

Parents can use these apps to keep tabs on their kids, but be careful of the consequences. It’s best to tell
them outright that you’re installing these apps on their phone. If they discover you’re covertly spying on
them, they may lose respect for you.

What is the Best Method to Hack an Instagram Account?

If we take pros and cons of each of these methods listed above, the nal conclusion will look like this:

Methods 1, 2, 4 and 6 (software (brute-force method), phishing, password guessing and extracting
password storage) will work only to hack Instagram password once. And if you are lucky that account owner
who you are interested to hack didn’t enable login noti cation inside their account settings, you can use this
password to login inside their pro le as many times until they don’t change it.

https://securityequifax2017.com/how-to-hack-instagram-password-tutorial/#how-to-make-ig-phishing-page 11/21
12/18/2019 How to Hack Instagram Password – 6 Working Methods of 2019 | SecurityEquifax

But if they enabled login noti cation by e-mail or SMS, they will get informed when someone sign into their
account from another device or location they didn’t use recently.
In such case, use your hacked password very quickly to see what you were planning in your targeted
Instagram account, else the owner will probably change their password as soon as possible.

However, methods 3 and 5 (keyloggers and RATs) are better for long term because you are not only
capable of hacking their Instagram, but their entire device (smartphone or PC). If you succeeded with
“infecting” their device with a keylogger, they won’t get noti ed by email or SMS, because you are not
directly hacked their Instagram account. You are monitoring their entire phone or computer activity
remotely from your device. And not only you managed to get access to their Instagram, but to every other
application, like WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook, Tinder, Email and everything else they have installed on their
device you can supervise from distance completely undetected. Everything they typed you are able to
see, along with tracking their location inside keylogger’s GPS system, spying incoming & outcoming calls, or
taking screenshots without their notice.
Keyloggers give you a full power of controlling someones device like no any other method is capable of.

Wrapping Up – Never Get Locked Out of Your Account Again

Many of the techniques and apps in this guide are free to use, with some o ering upgrades for a fee.
However, we think that the free features are more than enough to help anyone unlock their password and
recover their Instagram account.

Give each of these methods a try and leave us a comment on which one worked for you!
