Sometimes unforeseen situations arise on social networks: correspondence is suddenly deleted, passwords are forgotten, VKontakte blocks pages without your knowledge. What should you do, how can you restore your VK page if you don’t remember your password, the page is blocked, or the phone number associated with your account is inaccessible?

If you need to restore access to VKontakte, unfreeze a page, return a password or remember your login, in this guide you will find the answer to these questions.

How to recover a VKontakte password saved in the browser

Perhaps the easiest way to recover a password for a page is through the settings of the browser you used. The fact is that desktop browsers save login information for autofilling forms (not always, but usually).

Method 1. To recover your password, you need to go to the appropriate section:

  • In Google Chrome: paste chrome://settings/passwords into your browser's address bar and go to this address.
  • In Opera: paste opera://settings/passwords into the address bar of your browser and go to this address.
  • In Firefox: Settings → Security.

Enter "vc" into the search bar. If you click the “Show” button opposite the VKontakte address, the desired password will be displayed instead of asterisks.

Method 2. If you have forgotten your VKontakte password, but you have it saved in your browser in the form of stars (or dots), you can easily view it. Login with a password is on the authorization page; place the cursor on the line where the password is displayed in the form of asterisks.

Right-click and select "View Element Code" or "Inspect Element" from the menu - it will be different for each browser. You will see a window for developers with editing the html page code, and the cursor will be in the field with the entry:

  • Replace this line with

and your forgotten password will be revealed to you. In the same way, you can recover the VKontakte password from someone else’s account, but the site administration does not recommend doing this and does not bear any responsibility for the consequences.


We are trying to recover the password to restore access to our VK page

Recovering a password for a VKontakte page without a phone

Recovering your VKontakte password is quite simple using your phone number, but how can you get the page back if you don’t have enough information to log into your account? When recovering your password, there is a special column: “If you do not remember the data or do not have access to the phone, click here.” When you navigate, the system will ask for a link to your page, which you need to enter.

Next, you are given the opportunity to enter your old phone number, an available phone number, registration e-mail, and one of the old passwords (with which you were once able to access the page). Enter the data that you remember on the page and within 24 hours the support service will restore access to the page.

Users can restore a VKontakte page by mail or by entering a login. After specifying the data, you need to write the last name from the account. Next, the system will ask for confirmation about the recovery page, an avatar with your first and last name will be shown, you need to confirm that it is from this VKontakte page that you need to recover the password.

Click “Yes, this is the right page”, after which a form will appear asking you to enter a new phone number and receive a confirmation code via SMS. On the page of the next form you need to specify a new password, repeat it and be sure to write it down in a safe place. Changing the phone number if the user has forgotten the VKontakte password is allowed a limited number of times.

We have already talked about the VKontakte mobile application for Android. If all else fails, try installing this application on your phone and visiting your page.

Restoring a VK page after a virus

After a computer or phone is infected with a virus, the user may see in his browser window an offer to restore the VKontakte page for a fee via SMS. Some viruses associated with VKontakte request an activation code for Contact, which can also be obtained by transferring funds to certain payment systems. In most cases, even after sending an SMS or transferring money, the social network page remains blocked. How to return the VK user page in this case?

First thing, Necessarily check your computer or mobile phone for viruses. If your password for a page was stolen once, then there is a chance that they will do it again.

Run an anti-virus scan and wait for the result. Let's move on. To correctly restore your VKontakte page, you need to go to the hosts file along the following path: C: > Windows > system32 > drivers > etc > hosts and open the file using notepad. If this file contains entries with the host of vk.com and other social networks, delete these lines. There may be 2 hosts files, in which case you need to check the second one for extra lines. After this, in most cases, access to the VKontakte page is restored.

Editing the hosts file, which may contain a mention of VKontakte

If, after independently deleting lines from the file, no changes have occurred and the virus continues to block the page, try downloading the original of the correct etc folder and replacing it. Restart your computer, try logging into your VKontakte page again.

Downloading the correct hosts file is available at the link: http://chat-kontakt.ru/guest/etc.zip

Unzip the file and replace the old etc folder with the new one to get the VK page back.

Tip of the day. If you want to protect yourself from viruses on your Android smartphone and tablet, be sure to download a mobile antivirus!

How to unfreeze - i.e. restore a VK page

When logging into VKontakte, the site asks you to link the page to a phone number due to suspicious activity? We need to understand the reason for this situation. Enter your phone number, and if a message appears asking you to send a paid code to the number, you will be convinced that there is a virus on your computer, which has nothing to do with messages from VKontakte technical support. The social network will not request sending messages to any numbers; on the contrary, the site itself sends codes automatically.

To restore the VKontakte page, you need to follow the same steps with replacing the hosts file, which .

Deleting a VKontakte page is quite simple. On the left side of the social networking site vk.com there is a “My Settings” item. At the very bottom of the page that appears, you will see the inscription “You can delete your page.” In the list, select the reason for deletion, which will be displayed in your friends’ feed; you can also uncheck the box and not display the deletion of your page in the feed. If you do not specify a reason, an entry will appear on your behalf “the user silently deleted his page.”

To restore a deleted VK page, you need to log in with your password and follow the “Restore your page” link. A deleted VK page stores information for a year. If you forget the address of your page, you can try to find it in the list of friends or in groups for later recovery.

Let's decide which option for restoring access to VKontakte is right for you. Since the following will be a very long article, and it is not at all necessary to read everything, select the method you are interested in from the table of contents in the quick navigation.

Quick navigation:

Restoring a VKontakte page.

The very first thing you should do if you lose access to VK is, of course, to use the instructions from the first person, in this case from the development team.

  • Check if you have the function pressed Caps Lock on a computer, this is the key on the left of the computer keyboard, it makes all entered characters in uppercase and capital letters. Accordingly, if the password uses lowercase characters, then entering the password will be incorrect. To disable this feature, press the Caps Lock key again and try entering your password again.

  • The second reason for entering a password incorrectly may be the wrong language selected when entering. As a rule, the password contains English letters, and if you enter them on the Russian keyboard, the password will be incorrect.
    To change the language, press two keys simultaneously, Alt + Shift or click on the language icon in the bottom bar.

  • To ensure that you enter it correctly, you can use the address input line in your browser and after you have written your password correctly there, copy and paste it into the input field. Use the right mouse button to bring up a menu with copy and paste functions.

These were the simplest manipulations when restoring the page, if you are sure that this is not the case, then we will proceed to other recovery methods, do not lose hope, we will definitely help you regain control of the !

Use a different browser!

Often several browsers are installed on the computer, this can be standard Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or others, for example a browser from Yandex. This method will help you log in without a login and password.

You may be able to log in to one of them if you have not previously logged out of your VKontakte account, or if your password was saved there. Naturally, this method is designed more for luck, then we will figure out how to log into VK using other methods.

How to view the saved VKontakte password in the Browser.

For convenience, modern browsers offer to save the entered data, login and password and remember them for subsequent login. VKontakte prompts you to check the box “Someone else’s computer” when you log in. This was done precisely so that your data would not be saved on someone else’s computer.
Let's look at how to view saved passwords in common browsers and restore the page:

Google Chrome

How to view the password and restore the VKontakte page using the Google Chrome browser.


To do this, go to settings, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “advanced”. Next, in the “Passwords and Forms” section, click “Customize”. At the top right, start entering the address vk.com and if the data was previously saved, then at the end of the line, click on the ellipses, select “Details”, then opposite the password, click on the eye to display it.

Of course, there are some nuances here; to change your password, you need access to receive an SMS or e-mail. But what to do if for some reason this data becomes unavailable? Let's not lose hope and read on...

Another person has the phone number or has lost it.

The problem here is delicate and requires an extraordinary solution.
One option would be to try calling this number and explain the situation. What do they say, your page is linked to this number. If you want to unpin VK, to do this, ask the person to name the numbers that will be sent to him via SMS. Then, as promised, change the number, also known as the login, to which you have access. Of course, not everyone will agree to say anything, but if there are few options, it’s worth a try.

Another option, if the SIM card number is lost, then it may make sense to restore it at the office of the cellular operator. To do this, you need to have your passport and a small amount of money to re-issue a SIM card. This usually takes a little time, everything is done by the manager online.

If the options above do not suit you, then all that remains is to resort to the help of VKontakte support specialists, more on that later...

No number or email - page recovery through support.

https://vk.com/restore?act=return_page&mid=76889766

Next, you will be asked to enter your current phone number and take a photo in the background of your page to which you have lost access. Upload the photo to your computer and then send it to support; the verification will be done manually.

Next, take a photo of your passport unfolded; the photo must be of good quality. If your page did not contain your real first and last name, then upon successful restoration they will be changed to the real ones from the document.

Leave your comment when and under what conditions you lost access. I don’t think you will remember the specific date, write the approximate date, you can indicate the reason, for example, that your phone was stolen.

As it is written in one of the blogs on this topic, specialists do not eat their bread for nothing and are obliged to help you gain access to your VKontakte page, another thing is that this will take quite a lot of time, since there are a huge number of people who want to get help.

Reasons for refusal to restore the page by the support service.

It often happens that you may be denied restoration, the reasons may be:

  • Insufficient data, such as unreadable photos or you provided a non-existent phone number.
  • You are trying to restore access to someone else's page by mistake. Carefully make sure that you are asking to gain access to your account.
  • You have not included the required photographs in full. You need to take photographs against the background of the recovery page and a photo of your document, it could be your passport. Images must not be of low quality, otherwise such applications will be rejected.
  • Do not fake pictures in editors, such as Photoshop or Paint, this is very easily recognized by support specialists. Such applications will be rejected.
  • Your page does not contain visible recognition features to identify you, such as photos of you or your real name. If the name is real, then a photo may not be required, just as if the name is not real and you are in the photo, be prepared for it to be changed and brought into line with your data from the document.
  • Also be prepared to be denied restoration if your page was blocked for violating the site rules. This does not apply to temporary freezes for spam.

How to restore VK access if your image quality is low?

You will not be able to upload poor quality photos for review. If you use it to transfer photos, then it tends to compress the images. Disable compression and then the photos will have their original appearance, without loss of quality.

Settings - General - Move the "Compress photos" slider.

If the reason is not how you transfer pictures to your computer, the reason is a bad device, an outdated camera, a phone with a camera that has a low resolution. Then try to be resourceful, in the truest sense of the word)). There may be someone nearby who will help you and let you use their smartphone camera.

Happy recovery! Continue to use our advice (See).

Hello dear readers.

Many users encounter a situation where they set passwords for various services on the Internet or simply on their device, and then simply cannot remember the required combination. In the following article, I will tell you how to recover a password on a laptop, and in different areas. You will be able to deal with similar situations easily in the future.

There are several options for recovering the administrator password: through safe mode and using a utility. The first is this:

On the command line( )

As a result, everything must change. All we have to do is restart the system and calmly get to “ Desktop» using a new combination of symbols.

Ophcrack( )

Another popular way if you forgot your password is to use a special utility. It will help you quickly get to the right place.
The application allows you to unblock access on different platforms and even in . True, for the last option you need to write the program onto a flash drive. This approach is especially convenient when there is only one account installed on the computer.

To achieve the goal you need to perform a number of actions:


All these methods work great for Windows XP.

BIOS( )

Sometimes some users want to protect their device and because of this, they set a password on everything they can. But often a situation occurs when an important combination of symbols is suddenly conveniently forgotten. And when the BIOS password is lost, users become limited in how they can control the laptop.

You can return all this, and in several ways. The first one is the simplest. To permanently save important data, recharge in the form of a battery is used. It needs to be pulled out of the nest:


Now, when entering the BIOS, you should not be asked for a password. If everything still remains the same as before, try again, only now remove the power source for a day. This move will definitely help reset all settings.

In addition, most motherboards have special buttons that allow you to reset parameters. Where exactly they are located, you need to look on the manufacturer’s website. The solution is to press a key or simply close two contacts.

Important! If you are not 100% sure of the correctness of your actions, it is better to contact specialists.

Mail( )

Some users often forget their email passwords. Especially for recovery, the developers of such services suggest entering a phone number or an alternative mailbox in advance, so that if the desired combination is lost, it can be quickly returned.

Before reading this article about why I’m online in VKontakte, although I haven’t logged in, or why a friend replies in VKontakte, but he’s not online, I suggest you read the old one, “Why am I online in VKontakte when I’m not there”

This is for completeness.
In this article I will describe what I managed to extract from correspondence with the support service on this issue, but later The article will be updated with new facts, because I’m not going to stop there.
There are a few more questions about the “Online” icon in contact that will need clarification. So I advise you to bookmark this page or subscribe to RSS.

I started contacting the contact support service in this style:

And a whole list of questions that I wanted answered. After submitting a ticket:

Well, let's wait 8 hours... Eight hours later I received a superficial answer to my questions...

Why did I leave VKontakte, but I’m online?
Yes, because the VK administration decided to give 15 minutes to users so that they could go for tea, beer, cookies, have a quickie with their girlfriend, go to the toilet, and so on.
If you minimized your VK application on your smartphone, then the situation will be exactly the same - the same 15 minutes online.

How to solve:
If we don’t want to hang around for another 15 minutes online “In Contact,” then we simply press the “exit” button and the “online” icon will disappear immediately, that is, your page will instantly go offline. By the way, after this, in order to log in to the social network again, you will have to log in (enter your login and password for the page).

My friend writes to me “In contact”, but he is not visible (offline).
The developers took the following measures:
If a user listens to music or watches a video in a certain section, then he goes offline. Most likely, this was done so that the visitor would not be distracted from an interesting activity. And this is correct, and this is important.
Of course, you can write to such a user and he will see it.
Everything also applies to dialogues. If you sit in one dialogue and communicate with another person, then after 15 minutes the online icon will disappear.
Many people use specialized applications to hide their presence on the network, for example, Kate mobile for Android or the Chrome application - VKinviz (an application, not an extension)

API of the social network "VKontakte"
VK has long been offering its API for third-party resources. I personally noticed that if you try to register on a third-party resource using the Contact API, then the social network itself will show that you were online at that time and the time of your last visit will be the same.

The main thing is also to carefully read what third-party applications want from other resources, and then think about whether to allow access or not!
Here's an example of using the VK API:
I once left a comment on the left site through the comment form from “VKontakte”, although I unchecked the “Share” checkbox. Then I asked my girlfriend to check when I was “online” and it turned out that I had just recently.
In the same way, third-party sites, through the API you connect, can monitor the page for the number of friends, posts on the wall, and other information necessary for the third-party resource.

Redirect "In contact" or method of hiding the referrer

Some sites, for example boxes or services for increasing likes and subscribers on social networks, knowing that VK uses a redirect from the internal pages of the site to other sites like vk.com/away.php, I use this link to hide the referrer, that is, the place where the user came from.
For example link:
