How to restore a blocked page in VK from phone and PC

What to do if the page is blocked

First of all, there is no need to panic. The VKontakte administration values its users very much, so it will not cause you inconvenience for no apparent reason. The management also made sure that the VK page could be restored quickly and with minimal effort after blocking.

So, if you cannot log into your account, and on the VK start page you can see strange messages about freezing and intruders, then you need to find out the reason.

From a smartphone

How to restore a blocked VKontakte page from your phone? Unfortunately, it is not possible to restore a blocked VK page in the mobile application. It's best to do this from a computer. If you don’t have this option, you will have to log into your account through your mobile phone browser:

Open a browser on your smartphone.
Enter vk.com into the address bar.

Enter your username and password for your page.
Please see instructions for PC below.

If you have the opportunity to use a tablet, then do it. Firstly, it is more convenient, and secondly, you will have to strain your eyes less. Restoring the page will be faster.

From computer

When using a computer, do this:

Log in to VK.
Enter your login and password for the blocked page.
You will see a message about the period for which your page has become unavailable. After it passes, you can proceed further according to the instructions.
Now you will need to restore access using the phone number associated with your account. Please note that if you do not have access to it, you will first need to unlink the number from the page.
Enter it in the special field. You should receive an SMS with a code.
Enter the code in the special field.
This way you can restore the page on VK after blocking.

Access process

Usually the problem appears suddenly: as usual, you go to scroll through your feed and exchange a couple of messages and funny memes with your friends, and then the message pops up: “Profile is temporarily frozen or deleted.” Consequently, it is impossible to log in immediately. What to do?

First of all, you should understand the reason for the appearance of the “dead dog” image on the start page of your account.

We have already entered the username/password several times, everything seems to be correct, but the profile does not open. Perhaps you entered something incorrectly or simply forgot the data. In this case, the page is not blocked or frozen, and to gain access you must click on the “Recover Password” button (located just below the main form) and follow the instructions.
Once upon a time, in the heat of the moment, you decided to live a real life, and not vegetate on social networks that you were too old for this nonsense or were tormented by mental and heart torment. As a result, they deleted the page on their own. The VKontakte administration is not inclined to accept such actions from users right away - it gives them time to come to their senses. If you try to log in within the next 7 months, the message “page has been deleted” is initially displayed. If the account is not restored within the specified period, it is permanently deleted.
Did you send a mass mailing to users, join groups, or frantically add friends? Congratulations, VK considered you robots and blocked you until the circumstances are clarified. Even if the user did not perform the actions listed above, this does not mean that there was no spam from the page - you could have been hacked.
A similar blocking from administrators threatens those who have collected the required number of complaints from other people or participants in illegal activities prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation.

There is no charge for procedures related to restoring lost access to the VKontakte page! When you receive notifications about the need to obtain a paid code or any paid operation, check your operating system for viruses.

Reasons for blocking

Three main reasons can be identified. Let's take a closer look at them.

Violation of site rules

This is the most common reason. VK has certain rules. Violating them leads to a ban, after which the question arises of how to return a blocked account to VK. Violations include:

Spam is when you send out many identical messages.
Insulting other users. And not necessarily in messages. It could also be a post on your wall that other people find offensive.
Call for violence - well, everything is clear here. We are sure that you did not resort to this.
Increase likes and subscribers. Now there are a lot of applications offering you account promotion, but any use of them is illegal and punishable.
Not using the page. If you have created an empty page and do not visit it for a long time, then most likely it will be blocked by the administration.

If you abuse these rules, you will most likely be punished in the form of a ban. But if this happens, you already know what to do and how to restore a page in contact if it has been blocked.

Account hacking

If your page is hacked by attackers, then it’s even good that it will be blocked. The administration, as a rule, quickly responds to such cases and saves not only your account, but also your reputation.

After all, other people’s pages are hacked precisely to send spam or fraudulent activities. You've probably received requests from friends to borrow money, and then found out that they were hacked. Of course, you immediately guessed that something was wrong here. But imagine that such a request will be sent on your behalf and one of your friends will get hooked. It will be very awkward and unpleasant, so blocking here is only for the better.

Restoring a blocked VK account in this case will also not be difficult. But you should change your password right away. Don't forget that a strong password contains not only letters and numbers, but also special characters.

Virus

A virus is another nuisance that can prevent you from accessing your account. In fact, in this case your page is not blocked. The virus simply redirects you to a page very similar in design to VK. Here you are asked under some pretext to send a message to a short number. Under no circumstances should this be done! Funds will be debited from your account immediately.

Remember that restoring access to your account is absolutely free. There is no need to send any messages.

Try logging into VK from another device. If it works, then you have caught the virus after all. You can solve this problem using your antivirus (don't forget to update it regularly).

Restoring a blocked page

What if your page was actually blocked by the administration or you completely and irrevocably forgot your authorization password ?

To begin with, don’t panic and don’t make unnecessary movements – it’s not all that scary.

blocking;
spam on “your” behalf;
breaking into;
Forgot your password.

Take advantage of the free restoration of control, which is located at the link https://vk.com/restore.

Based on the information in the screenshot, you must enter either your login, phone number, or email address to which you registered.

Then we move on to the next step.

The system now asks you to enter your last name. Remember that the moderator may reject various “Crazy”, “Star”, “Beauty” and other non-surnames, so be prepared for this.

If you are confident in the data, feel free to move on.

The system will offer you a page found that most likely meets your requirements.

You are only required to confirm or refute this information.

The final stage of the procedure is an SMS message to the number associated with the page.

Remember that the procedure will not require any monetary “charitable” contributions from you from the VK service.

If you do not have the required SIM card, or the code does not want to be received, click on the appropriate link below.

If for some reason you cannot access the old page, you will most likely have to create a new one, no matter how much you might like it.

But if you need an old nosebleed, try complaining directly to support at https://vk.com/support?act=new.

You will see a window similar to this.

Ask the operator your question, describing as meticulously as possible all the actions that you have already performed and what results they gave.

At the same time, do not forget to write all the information about the page that you remember. In theory, this should help both you and them.

Now all that remains is to wait until those “on the other side” resolve the conflict and figure out what’s wrong with your page.

Remember that they may not consider a profile without a photo, since it becomes unclear who exactly the page belongs to.

They simply won’t take on fake accounts.

Blocking periods

The period for which your account was blocked can be from several hours to several days, and in some cases, forever. It all depends on the reason for the blocking and your further behavior. Is it possible to restore a blocked page in VK after this period has expired? Certainly! To do this, simply follow our instructions.

Repeated ban

Keep in mind that after you violate the site rules, your account will be monitored for some time. Therefore, if you repeatedly violate these rules, the ban period will gradually increase. Eventually it will become permanent, meaning you will be blocked forever.

Eternal ban

It is impossible to restore a permanently blocked VKontakte page. There is no return from those lands. But to do this you need to really anger the moderators and provoke a lot of complaints. Well, or take a free page on the Internet and run it as your own. They don't like that either.

If this does happen, don't be sad. Do not try to restore this page, just start creating a new one and do not repeat previous mistakes.

How to avoid blocking a page in Contact

If you want to avoid the hassle of using the VKontakte social network, take care of security. To do this, do not forget the following:

Regularly check your computer for all kinds of viruses, make sure your anti-virus software is reliable;
Pay attention to the level of trust in an unfamiliar site before visiting it. Use applications designed for this, for example, in the Google application store there is a free WOT (Web of Trust) extension;
In VKontakte, do not rush to follow incomprehensible links, look at the domain names carefully - if the address looks incorrect, refrain from clicking, ask users on the forums about it again;
Don’t forget that blocking is not always someone’s malicious intent; in some cases there are objective reasons for this: incorrect attitude towards other users or uploading videos of dubious content. Try not to forget that there are living people on the other side of the screen.
If you have not done anything prohibited, but you are still suspected of fraudulent activity, clarify the issue with the administration. Otherwise, she has the right to deny access to the account for an indefinite period.

Take note of how to eliminate phishing attacks on your computer.

Special programs collect passwords and hack VKontakte pages. Outwardly, it is difficult to distinguish an attempt at fraud from a real block.

Follow the instructions to find out the situation and get rid of third-party interference:

Go to the Local Disk folder (C:). To do this, use the “Start” menu, go to “Computer”;
Follow the path Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts, open the last file using the standard Notepad editor;
Make sure that the file does not contain references to the VKontakte website - addresses vk.com or vkontakte.ru;
If data is found, immediately delete lines with such information - these are traces of malware interference;
Get rid of possible “residual effects” by entering the name “vkontakte.exe” in the search bar;
Make sure that the search is also carried out in hidden files (system folders are also taken into account);
What you find as a result, send it to the Recycle Bin and permanently delete it from your computer;
Additionally, run antivirus software as a final step.

Can't restore. What to do?

First, check if you did everything correctly. Sometimes people get so scared that they cannot enter the password correctly the first time. Make sure that you have not confused the keyboard layout and entered everything correctly.

Forgot my phone number

If you have lost the phone number to which the page was linked, then you just need to use the special line “If you do not remember the data or do not have access to the phone, click here.” Next, you can find your page among others and fill in all the new data. If you remember yours, then this will be even easier. After this, you can restore access to the page.

So we found out how to restore a blocked page on VK, unless of course the ban is not permanent. As you can see, there is nothing wrong with blocking. You just need to be patient, follow our instructions and wait until the site administration fixes everything.

Unblock by phone number

There are several ways to unlock, but the easiest and fastest is by phone number:

go to the authorization page;
in the field provided, enter your phone number to which the page was registered;
Under the number field there is a button to receive the code, click on it;
in a few seconds you will receive an SMS with an authorization code on your phone;
enter the code and click send;
after which you will be prompted to create a new password to log into your account.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about blocking/unblocking a VK profile

How can you tell whether a request for a code to unlock a page was sent by the VKontakte administration or is it a scam?

Finding out this won’t be difficult - the administration will not require money for the procedure; this function is initially free. If this point is not indicated on the site, you are communicating with third parties, which is unsafe.

My application for reinstatement was rejected. Why?

Sometimes this happens, the reason is inattention. Look at the data provided to the administration. All stamps should be clearly visible on the document scan; make sure that your photo against the background of the monitor is also of good quality. It is important that the first and last names in the profile coincide with the real ones, the same goes for the photograph.

What other ways to combat vk.com page hacking are known?

The maximum is to contact a computer company that specializes in such manipulations. Do not under any circumstances try to contact hackers; these are the same scammers who will not solve the issue, but will want to gain access to confidential information about you.

What should I do if access is blocked by the VKontakte administration and it is unknown when I will get it back?

Take note of the option for this case as well. First, change the password in the mailbox used to log into your account, making it more difficult for hackers. Next, when logging in, enter the old password for the page and set a new one.

Lastly, make sure that no one has logged into your account instead, look at the information in the “My Settings” section. Try to change passwords more often, then the likelihood of hacking is sufficiently reduced.

Is it possible to restore an old page?

To return an old page that was deleted more than 210 days ago, you need to write directly to VKontakte support. It is better to do this through the “Help” tab, so you will know that your request was seen and taken into account.

You can also contact technical support via e-mail

The format of the appeal and presentation of the problem should be as simple as possible and contain specific facts, how and when they were registered, what data you remember and whether you have the opportunity to use it now for recovery.

After you have been listened to, all that remains is to wait for feedback from the VK administration. Most likely, you will need to fill out a standard recovery form and attach a scan of your passport, as well as take a photo in front of the application to confirm that it is really you.

At the same time, if your deleted account had a lot of personal photos with a clearly visible face, the chances of recovery will be very high.

How to regain access to a page in Contact after deletion

A common situation is that you deleted a page in Contact and after some time you want to regain access.

To do this, you need to go to the site and enter your login, and then the linked phone number will help - enter it and use the verification code to request a new password.

This option remains for six months after deleting the account; after the expiration of the period, it will no longer be possible to return the data.
