Oh. You did. Guess we'll go ahead and show you how to reset your password then.

1. Go to the Instagram login page on desktop

2. Click "Forgot password?"

3. Enter either the email, phone number, or username you used to create your account

4. Instagram will send you a link you can click on to regain access to your account and change your password

You also don't have to have forgotten your password in order to reset it. If you know your password and just want to change it to something different (maybe a little stronger than "Instagram1234"), here's how to do that.

1. Tap the menu icon in your Instagram profile and then tap "settings"

5. Enter what you want your new password to be

6. Enter it again to confirm, and then tap "save"
