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 wanted an approval for a car but I had a fico score of 492 Equifax, 546 TransUnion, 559 Experian. The only reason my Equifax is so low is because of the PPP loan being on it and exactly my fears the dealership singled it out and refused to approve my request. The dealer rather advises me to work with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST if I desire to fix my credit report. I immediately contacted via email: pinnaclecreditspecialist AT gmail DOT com and explained all my challenges, he assured to raise my score and clear the loans including the credit card debts which he did perfectly in less than 4 days, which is an amazing job to me and I confirmed it when I returned to the same place I was denied earlier and after the dealer pulled my report I was approved of a car with a very low interest rate. All thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I now have an excellent credit score of 801 Equifax, 809 TransUnion, 811 Experian and a clean credit report.

Sometimes you just have to take an action without looking back at the consequences. I had my promotion exam early February of this year and before then it wasn’t really easy at the office, I was given a very tasking role that I was handling at the firm with a toxic boss on my neck, that means I was working under real pressure. Few days to my promotional examination I called in sick because of the workload I handle without rest. I managed to keep up with my work cuz I don’t want to get sacked. I took the promotional examination just to fulfil all righteousness knowing so well I wasn’t going to get the required points because I was very unfit. I was really worried about the outcome of the result knowing that I will have to continue working with a toxic boss and a very tense environment. I reached out to a friend who had told me about a hacker she encountered that had really helped her in the past and might be able to effect some change on the outcome of the exam. After processing the thoughts of going to continue in my role with the same boss I had to jump on the offer. A week after contacting the hacker the promotional results were out and to my greatest surprise I came out the best amongst all the candidates that sat for the examination. I am supper excited for the this new opportunity and role at my firm. All thanks to Remedy hacker for saving me of this misery.
