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 had invested all my entire savings into crypto and this had been going on for weeks until I needed to withdraw my funds for a medical emergency when I realized that I had been scammed of my entire life savings by a fake crypto investment broker who denied me access to my savings and insisted that I had to make more payments before I could get my savings. I was devastated and my life was in ruins, however, while I was searching for a way out, I came across a post about SpYweb Cyber Security Service, a crypto recovery company that has been very successful in the past with the recovery of crypto, lost data, stolen funds and as helped countless of others to access certain information. I did my research and was convinced of their service, I contacted SpYweb Cyber Security Service who was able to assist me and I recovered all my stolen crypto. I’m truly grateful for their service and wish to recommend them for services that have to do with the recovery of crypto and other private data.

I want to share my experience with FRANCISCO HACK, a service that proved to be a lifeline during one of the most challenging times in my life. My journey into cryptocurrency trading began with a substantial boost from my uncle, who invested $20,000 in after witnessing his own incredible success in the crypto market. After months of diligent research and hands-on trading, I turned that initial investment into a substantial sum of $700,000 by trading Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, this period of success was marred by a devastating betrayal. Friends from college, whom I had trusted implicitly, managed to gain unauthorized access to my phone. They used this access to lock me out of my email and trading accounts, stealing $10,000 from my funds. The emotional impact was significant, as I felt both betrayed and vulnerable. Desperate to recover what was taken and to regain control over my accounts, I sought advice from my brother. He recommended FRANCISCO HACK, a service he had heard positive things about. Although I was initially apprehensive, I decided to reach out to them in the hope that they could help me recover my assets. From the moment I contacted FRANCISCO HACK, their professionalism and expertise were apparent. The team used advanced security measures and a systematic approach to address the situation. They conducted a thorough investigation, uncovering the extent of the theft and taking swift action to help me regain access to my accounts. Thanks to FRANCISCO HACK’s intervention, I was able to recover most of my stolen funds. The team’s efforts revealed that only $10,000 had been transferred out by my so-called friends, and the majority of my assets remained intact. This recovery was a significant relief and restored a degree of normalcy to my financial situation. Beyond the financial recovery, this experience taught me invaluable lessons about trust and security. It underscored the importance of safeguarding personal information and maintaining vigilance over digital assets. I learned to be more cautious and implement stricter security measures to protect myself from future threats. FRANCISCO HACK played a crucial role in this journey, not only helping me recover my funds but also in reinforcing my faith in finding reliable and trustworthy support when facing digital security challenges. Their professional approach and effective solutions have made a lasting impact on my outlook on security and trust in the crypto world. If you find yourself in a similar situation, struggling with unauthorized access or theft of digital assets, I highly recommend F r a n c i s c o h a c k @ q u a l i t y s e r v i c e . c o m Their expertise and dedication can make a significant difference, providing both practical solutions and peace of mind during stressful times.
