Hi Mahbubur,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on your description, you are currently unable to receive the verification code required to sign in to your account.

In this situation, you will need to contact Microsoft's Data Protection Team to request assistance with resetting the MFA settings for your account.

Please look up the appropriate support hotline for your region and contact Microsoft's frontline support team. Once connected, ask them to create a support ticket for you through the following resource:

Contact Microsoft customer support | Microsoft Support

In this case, Microsoft's Data Protection Team is the only team that has the specialized tools and procedures necessary to verify your identity and securely restore access to your administrator account.

Please note that forum moderators do not have the authority to directly intervene in user accounts, especially for issues related to:

• Account sign-in
• Password resets
• MFA authentication
• Changing or restoring access permissions

Tips for Navigating the IVR System (Automated Phone Support)

To help you navigate the IVR system more efficiently, please refer to the guidance below:

• When calling the support number, you may hear an introductory message lasting approximately 30 seconds (for example, "You can visit the link..."). You can simply wait for the introduction to finish until the system presents the available options.
• Then:
  • Press 1 to identify yourself as a business email user.
    • Press 1 again to select technical support.

In some regions, the initial interaction may be fully automated. Below is a sample dialogue that you can prepare for in advance:

• What kind of problem are you experiencing? Answer: Authenticator
• What products do you use? Answer: Office 365 for Business
• Is this for an education or company account? Answer: For companies
• Are you an administrator? Answer: Yes
• Are there any other administrators in your organization? Answer: No. I am the only admin in my tenant.
• Do you need a service request? Answer: Yes. I need to create a ticket. Please transfer me directly to the Data Protection Team.

During the call, you may be asked to provide subscription-related information such as:

• Company name
• Billing information
• Phone number
• Alternate email address

This information helps the Data Protection Team verify your identity and securely assist you with restoring access to your account.

I hope this information is helpful. Please follow these steps and let me know if it works for you. If not, we can work together to resolve this.   

Thank you for your patience and your understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

I look forward to continuing the conversation.
