New customer can not access admin portal due to mfa device is wiped

We are Microsoft Partner and we have a new customer.

They have two Microsoft 365 tenants.

We need to manage their Microsoft 365, but their global admin accounts are protected by mfa and the phone with Microsoft 365 Authenticator has been wiped.

They didn't add a phonenumber or second mailaddress as extra mfa option.

Now they (and we) can't access their admin account.

Is there a DECENT way to contact The Data Protection Team for a reset of mfa's for the 2 tenant admin accounts ?

We tried to do it by calling Microsoft support, but we get a CoPilot answering machine that sends me round and round, but no mfa reset.
