I want to recover old photos and my password has expired
Good morning everyone. Since 2016 I decided to recover my old account, but I no longer found the photos and videos it contained, how do I recover them?

If you mean that you haven't used the account since 2016 then the account was most likely deleted and you've now signed in to a new, empty account. Accounts that are idle for more than a year are deleted due to inactivity.
If you mean something else, you'll need to provide more information.
