I need assistance with re-registering MFA for my admin account on a test tenant. I lost my phone, which had the MFA authenticator set up for the tenant, so I need the MFA to be reset and enabled on my new device.

    Hello David Hou,

    Thanks for sharing the requested details offline.

    The issue pertains to a tenant lockout, where no other global admin in the tenant has the necessary permissions to login and make changes in your tenant.

    To resolve this, we have engaged our Data Protection team through a support ticket. They will reach out to you via email or phone to help restore access to the tenant and assist in resolving the issue.
