Warning, so that it does not happen to you again, write down the password somewhere that you will not lose. Securely store your passwords, whether you do it physically on paper or in a file.

For those of you who don't know what your name is (ask your parents… no lie☺️), you can ask an acquaintance for a cell phone and look for images that you have recently liked. Then see which users have liked and you will find your username.
If you prefer, you can enter the email you used to register your account. What many people tell me is that they have 2 Instagram accounts and they don't remember which one they used to sign up. For those who do not remember either the username or the email, there are other options to recover the Instagram account.
