Was your ROBLOX account snatched from you by a scam link? Or maybe you gave the password to a stranger who promised something in return? Maybe you visited a free Robux scam site that requested your login credentials. This wikiHow teaches you how to restore your hacked ROBLOX account by resetting your password.

#Contact ROBLOX support if you can't reset the password. You can do so by filling out the form at https://ift.tt/2r9tWAH. Once ROBLOX support contacts you via email, you'll need to be able to prove the account belongs to you. Here are some tips for that process:[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 6 Version 2.jpg|center]]
|
|
− |
#* When filling out the form, use the email address you used to sign up for ROBLOX. Even if the hacker changed the email address on the account, ROBLOX can still see your original signup info.

|
− |
#* If you ever bought anything in ROBLOX, be prepared to answer questions about the amounts of purchase, credit card info, and PayPal account.

#Go to https://ift.tt/2l7jyqh in a web browser. Once you regain access to your hacked account, you should turn on 2-Step Verification to help keep your account secure in the future.<ref>https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/212459863</ref>[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 7.jpg|center]]
|
|

#* When 2 Step Verification is enabled, ROBLOX will automatically send an email containing a verification code to the email address on file. You won't be able to completely log in until you enter that code. This keeps your account secure because anyone who signs in with your ROBLOX account must also have access to your email account.
|
|
− |
#Verify your email address. You can only use a verified email address for 2 Step Verification. Here's how to verify yours:[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 8.jpg|center]]

− |
* Never give your password to anyone, even if they claim to work for Roblox.
|
|
− |
*Never go on Free Robux sites/ games. They can hack your account.

*Use stronger passwords to keep your limited and rares safe. For example, don't use pet names. Use numbers in place of vowels.
