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!
XOXO

What I appreciated most about Georg Bednorz Hackers was how compassionate and understanding their team was throughout the entire process. They listened to my needs and provided me with a solution that worked for me.

Well I actually received a proposal on my Instagram sometime last year , the proposal was all about crypto/stock investment , I never for once invested in any digital asset in my life , I have only been into real estate and have always made enough on there, but at that time I decided to give this a try because there’s no harm in trying out new things, but little did I know that this was going to hurt my pockets real bad , I could remember my partner/friend telling me that this seems a little bit fishy , someone coming out of the blue and offering me a good deal like the one I received, but I ignored his opinion and went ahead with the offer , after a month when the trade is due I tried withdrawing my profits but I could not access my account anymore for some reasons they stated , I already have over £2million on the website , my total investment was £1.2million and my supposed return profit was £800k both which summed up at £2million , I contacted the support team but they said I had to pay some legal fees for my account to be released back to me which I did since I don’t really know much about how the whole thing works yet , after paying the said fee I never regained access to my account still and that’s when I knew that this was all a lie and the website was just a front for their scam .. I couldn’t forfeit such huge amount of money , I then reached out to a Crypto recovery firm on Telegram @ VIRTUALHACKNET , and that ended up being one of the best decisions I ever made , after reaching them on telegram we continued further with the recovery process and within a week my funds was recovered back in full to my new wallet address I provided them with to avoid any further losses . Reach them on email : V I R T U A L H A C K N E T @ gmail dot com . :)
I know how tough it is for you to lose your funds to some online scammers. I was in this shoe for about 4good months where I couldn’t access my saved funds because it was scammed by a company I felt was legit forex trade. I have made quite a lot of money from saving online so I fell for the trap of these scammers who eventually scammed me of my savings. I feel so lucky right now because I was able to meet George. He helped me recover my scammed funds within a few days. I just want to say a big thanks to George and his team. Please if you ever need help contact George now via email Cryptorefunder360(at)gmail(dot)com or WhatsApp +1(435)5136443. You won’t regret this I say.
Hi everyone reading this amazing testimony of mine and i want to give my own verdict on how you can win the lottery by contacting Dr Kumar for your lottery numbers. I started playing lottery games for years now and I have never won big. I went online to seek help to see if i could get some tips on how I can win bigger amounts on the lottery and I saw some nice reviews about Dr Kumar who has made different people huge winners in the lottery by sending them lottery numbers. I gave it a try and I contacted Dr Kumar by email and he told me how and what to do before I can become a big lotto winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me at his temple and sent me the required lottery numbers to play and when I played it, I won a massive $235.4 million POWERBALL jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people who want to win the lottery to seek help from Dr Kumar and he will also send you the lottery numbers and make you a winner just like me. You can reach Dr Kumar on email: spellcasttemple@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2347051705853
