Short answer. If your Instagram was hacked and the email changed, search the old inbox for mail from security@mail.instagram.com and use secure my account. Then follow Instagram's hacked-account steps. If a disable notice appears, appeal it. Never send the password.
Instagram hacked email changed means the reset path was pointed at someone else. The old inbox is still your best tool if you can open it.
Search the old inbox for mail from security@mail.instagram.com. Instagram’s help page says that when they tell you the email was changed, the secure my account link in that message can undo the change. Open it on a device you trust. Screenshot the mail first, including the time it arrived. Use the link while it still works. If it is expired, keep the message and continue with Instagram’s hacked-account help. Do not forward a login code to anyone who offers to click the link for you.
If the link is dead, write down the old address and follow the wider steps on Instagram hacked recover. A renamed profile is Instagram username changed by hacker. No access to the old phone either: Lost access to email and phone on Instagram.
When the login says disabled or suspended, a new password is not the whole job. Screenshot the notice and appeal. Instagram account disabled: how to get it back is that button. Do not forward a login code to the person who “noticed” the hack.
