Thats that I am thinking, I wish they would say why it was disabled.
that is the message I also received when my account was disabled, even now I can no longer use my phone for 2-step, seems they reactivated my account but my phone number cannot be used to enable that.
This happened to me tonight! I’m afraid I’ll lose my account! Will someone please help me! It’s Instagram
We can tell it’s Instagram, are you trying to log in?
Check your e-mail that you used to create the account with.
Just as a side-note to this great discussion.
IF your account ever gets hacked into with the username changed and the phone number + email changed, you can still get it back so long as you have the signup - original - email address handy.
The steps are as follows:
A- Navigate to a post you commented on previously
B- Find your comment
C- Write down the current username. This will be the current username for your - hacked - account
D- Go to Social Blade Instagram
E- Look up the - hacked - username
F- Copy the Instagram USER ID number (then write it down somewhere)
G- Go to this Instagram page and fill up the form.
In the description box, be sure to mention:
1- your old username.
2- The New - hacked - username - which you get from step C above
3- your original email address
4- The phone number used with the account
5- The Instagram USER ID which you get from step E above.
6- The last time you had access to your account
7- Highlight all the text in the description box and copy it
8- Save that text for later use.
9- Send the form and wait for 6 hours.
If you don’t get a reply. Repeat the process.
This is where Step number 8 comes in handy. You just copy and paste the description and send the form again.
Eventually you will get a reply.
Good luck.

Thank you. I wish it was only homework on that bit though.
The above is what I friend of mine tried when her account got hacked into a while back.
The part about finding an old comment was pure coincidence 
So, I figured I’d share it here just in case anyone is in the same position.

It will let me log in but then it goes straight to what the picture says
Do you have an e-mail fro IG?
Reading through the entire thread one question comes to mind: if your last line of defense is the original creation email, does it stand to reason you should have a different email associated with your IG account so that the hacker won’t even know what the original one is?
