How to Fix Your Grey Facebook Account
How do you fix a 'Grey' Facebook account? That's the question that I was trying to solve for several days after discovering I was unable to share my Instagram Insights with a company I wanted to work with. I had no clue what a grey account was before I embarked on the rather painstaking journey of figuring out what was wrong. After spending days combing through my Facebook settings, I finally found out that once you have a grey account, you are totally doomed and need to start your facebook page over from scratch. Just kidding- there's a way to fix it. Here is what worked for me:
First step: Make sure your Instagram is a Business Page. Switch your account to a Personal Account, then back to a Business Account. If you get a red popup when changing back that says it looks like you have a Grey account, continue reading for how to get out of the grey Facebook account zone.
Important: It's not an Instagram issue or the company you are trying to work with. If you have a grey account, it's 100% your Facebook Page. A 'Grey Account' occurred if you turned a private page into a public page or merged duplicate pages anytime since opening the account (this apparently looks shady to Facebook).
Try this if you still have the login to the main account (not the Facebook Page, the regular account where you can add friends) . If you don't have access to the main private account, scroll to the second instruction list. This is a helpful excerpt by 'Timmy' in the Facebook Community Center, but didn't work for me.
"1. Log into your main (regular account)... and if you don't have one, create one.
2. In the core Facebook menu, choose "Manage Business" (at the time of this writing, it's found on the top Right of the page with a little down arrow icon... next to the also super small lock icon for security. The arrow icon is the farthest icon to the top right for easy reference.
3. On the menu, choose "Settings." The menu at the time of this writing is two tab style links: Home, Settings... and that's it. It's located at the top left below the login name.
4. On the menu on the left hand side, choose "Shared Logins."
5. The text that I saw when I clicked on shared logins is this: "If you use shared logins (also called gray accounts) to manage your Facebook Pages and ad accounts, add them to Business Manager. When you do this, you'll have permission to work on any of the assets with the same roles that the shared login has. If the shared login owns ad accounts and Pages, you can also transfer that ownership to your Business Manager. Business Manager is a more secure way to manage your Facebook Pages and ad accounts."
6. AND... we're done: simply click on "Add Shared Login" " (end of excerpt)
2. In the core Facebook menu, choose "Manage Business" (at the time of this writing, it's found on the top Right of the page with a little down arrow icon... next to the also super small lock icon for security. The arrow icon is the farthest icon to the top right for easy reference.
3. On the menu, choose "Settings." The menu at the time of this writing is two tab style links: Home, Settings... and that's it. It's located at the top left below the login name.

6. AND... we're done: simply click on "Add Shared Login" " (end of excerpt)
If you no longer have access to the main account, here's what you need to do.
1. Create new private Facebook account (account #2)
2. Add account #2 as an administrator for the grey Facebook page.
3. Delete account (#1) from administrator list, leaving only the new Account #2 as Administrator. (If you're concerned about losing access, keep Account #1 as an editor, but I don't know if that will still work)
4. Create Business Page for Account #2 (The account setup for a Business Page for Facebk was as annoying as the grey facebook page and didn't want to register a new account at first. It finally registered after I completely logged out of Facebook and reset my browser).
Once you have done the 4 steps, check to see if you can connect your insights. If not, make sure your Instagram is still connected.
Good luck turning your grey facebook page into a cheerful functioning one!

I always believed cold wallets were the safest way to store crypto. That belief was shattered when I mistakenly reset my device and lost access to over $179,000 worth of Bitcoin and USDC. I had backed up the seed phrase, or so I thought, but during the reset, I realised the backup was incomplete. I couldn’t access my funds, and panic set in.
After days of trying to recover access on my own, I turned to forums and online resources. That’s when someone recommended Morphohack, a cyber recovery service specialising in blockchain forensics and crypto recovery. The team at Morphohack was calm and professional. They analysed my case and used specialised tools to trace my transactions and reconstruct the wallet environment. To my disbelief, they managed to recover access to my assets and $179,000 returned safe and secure.
It was a huge relief like getting a second chance. I’ve since doubled down on secure backups and proper key management. But if you ever face a loss like mine, don’t assume it’s permanent. Morphohack gave me hope when I had none, and they delivered results when no one else could. Their email. Morphohack@cyberservices.com

I’m a businessman from Lynchburg, Virginia, and I’ve always had an eye for promising investment opportunities. A while back, I came across a cryptocurrency platform that seemed too good to pass up. It promised high returns, and in the beginning, it actually delivered. I saw my profits growing, everything looked legit, and I felt like I had made a smart move.
But things slowly started to change.
When I tried to withdraw some of the money, I ran into all kinds of roadblocks. First, they said I needed to pay a small fee. Then it was a tax. Then another fee for “unlocking” my account. Every time I asked questions, they gave me excuses that sounded just believable enough. I kept holding on, thinking I was close to finally cashing out.
In total, I ended up putting in \$267,000—before I realized I was never getting it back. That’s when it hit me. I had been scammed.
It was a devastating moment. I felt completely helpless. I had worked hard for that money, and now it was gone—just like that. But then I heard about SPYHOST CYBER SERVICES. At first, I didn’t know what to expect, but I figured I had nothing left to lose. I reached out to them and explained my situation.
To my surprise, they were incredibly professional from the very beginning. They took on my case, broke everything down for me, and assured me they’d do everything they could. And they meant it. In just 72 hours, they recovered all of my funds. Every last cent.
I honestly couldn’t believe it. After everything I’d been through, SPYHOST managed to turn the situation around completely. I’m beyond grateful to them for their expertise and the way they handled everything.
If you’ve been scammed like I was, don’t give up. Reach out to SPYHOST CYBER SERVICES. They gave me hope when I had none left—and they delivered.
