Dear @Rawan Schabel,
Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

The error AADSTS5000224 specifically means the directory (tenant) you’re trying to reach has been deauthenticated (token issuance blocked) and is no longer available for sign‑ins. This means the tenant is no longer trusted to issue tokens for sign-ins. This is not a user-specific or device-specific block, it is a tenant-wide authentication disablement. In this state, even Global Admins typically cannot access the admin portals until re‑authentication is requested and approved.
For reference: AADSTS error codes

I understand how stressful and urgent this situation must feel, especially since you’re the administrator and need to manage your subscription. Please know you’re not alone in this, and we’ll guide you through every step to get you back in control as quickly as possible.

Option 1: Contact Microsoft Azure Support by Phone (Primary Method)  

Since you are the only administrator and are locked out, the most direct method is to call Microsoft's support line to raise a request for resetting your authentication method. For a full list of regional numbers, you can also visit this official page: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support. The support team will assist you as soon as possible. 

Here are some tips and an example of a prompt to help you navigate the IVR more effectively: 

In some countries, it is an automated conversation like: First, when you call the hotline, it will be asked as follows: 

IVR: What kind of problem are you concerned about? 

You: Authenticator. 

IVR: What kind of product do you use? 

You: Azure. 

IVR confirmation: education or company account? 

You: For companies 

IVR: Are you an administrator? 

You: Yes. 

IVR: Do you have the other administrator in your organization? 

You: No. 

IVR: Do you need a... Service request? 

You: Yes  

This process should connect you with a live agent who will create a service request with the Data Protection team. They will then contact you to help you regain access. 

Option 2: Create a Temporary Account (Trial Tenant) to Submit a Support Ticket (Alternative Method) 

If you have difficulty reaching an agent by phone, there is a reliable workaround. This involves creating a new, temporary Microsoft 365 account to contact the support team online. 

• Sign up for a new Microsoft 365 Business trial using this link: Compare All Microsoft 365 Plans. You will need to use a different, personal email address to register. 
• Once the trial account is created, log in to its Admin Center. 
• During your free trial, you have the option to unlock the full set of features by upgrading to Azure free account. For more information: Upgrade your free trial by adding an Azure subscription
• You must have the appropriate access to a subscription in order to create a support request for it. This means you must have the Owner, Contributor, or Support Request Contributor role, or a custom role with Microsoft.Support/*, at the subscription level. To create a support request without a subscription, for example a Microsoft Entra scenario, you must be an Admin.
• To create an Azure support ticket, please refer to Create an Azure support request and Azure support

Important: Please remember to cancel the trial subscription after your original account issue is resolved to avoid any future charges. 

I am confident that the Azure support team can resolve this for you. Please try the phone option first, as it is the most direct path. Let me know if you have any questions about these steps. 

Note: Please understand that as forum moderators, our primary goal is to provide helpful guidance and support through general troubleshooting steps.

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.
