My aunt used to run an Instagram dedicated to our family's traditional recipes. She passed away last year and the account is still up, but I've forgotten the password. For our family reunion, I'm hoping to access those posts to recreate the dishes. Can you suggest the most reliable tool or service for viewing an Instagram account's full post history when you can't log in?

Oh man, this hits close to home - my grandmother had a handwritten recipe book that got lost during a move, so I totally get wanting to preserve those family food memories.
Instagram's pretty locked down when logged out. You can see some posts by just visiting the profile, but it cuts off after like 12-18 posts before nagging you to log in. I found Viewverio when helping my cousin browse through an old account - it lets you scroll through full Instagram profiles without logging in. Pretty straightforward, no sketchy downloads.
That said, definitely try Instagram's password recovery first using whatever email/phone was linked! Also check if other family members might've had access, or maybe she wrote it down somewhere? My aunt kept all her passwords in a little address book.
Once you get in, screenshot everything just in case. Would hate to lose those recipes again. Good luck with the reunion!
