Quite often a pop-up question among users of the social network VKontakte. A similar question appears, most likely that you have previously used the automatic saving of the password in the browser. And so you changed your browser or reinstalled the system and your password went into oblivion. But don’t be discouraged. There are ways to enter your profile without a password.
By phone
One of the easiest ways is to simply use your phone. If it happened that you forgot the password for the page, then you can log into the profile using a phone with a previously installed VK utility.
To do this, you need to get a quick login link in advance after the first exit from the utility or even from a PC. After receiving an SMS and entering the mobile utility, VKontakte can be entered without a password. This can only be done with the device in which the SIM card is located, which is linked to the account.
It is impossible to do this “trick” for devices that do not have a GSM module. However, thanks to her, it is possible to change the password you lost, but only from the cellular version of VK.
Using a PC
Let’s imagine that there was no VK utility on your phone and for some reason you did not use the quick login link. In this case, access can be restored from your PC.
This action is performed either via SMS to a mobile phone, or using a recovery form
SMS
To access your profile via SMS, do the following:
- Enter the main page of VK.
- Press “Forgot your password?“
- After that you will be shown a window in which you need to register your Email, login or mobile phone number. Choose any option that is convenient for you.
- Next, a window will appear in which you need to specify the Surname.
- After that, you need to confirm that the photo with the link is yours.
- After that, the linked mobile phone number will receive a message with a special code.
- To complete this recovery, you will need to enter this code. Next, you need to come up with a new password for yourself.
After all the above, you should send an SMS with a changed login to your number.
Using a recovery form
It would be best if you still linked your account to a mobile number. However, anything can happen: they did not have time to tie or deliberately ignored. Well, there is also a way out for this case:
- Click again on “Forgot your password? ”.
- Now click on the link highlighted below “click here”.
- After that, you will be prompted to enter your account address in VK. However, if you don’t remember him either, then click on “Press here”.
- Next, you will be given to manually find your account using the First and Last Name. After you find it, click on “This is my page”.
- Now fill out the application, in which you indicate as much information as possible about the lost account.
Your application will be under consideration by the administration. You also need to send two of your photos:
- The first page in the passport.
- Near the monitor with an open application.
