I have a client who just swapped to a new mobile phone and as we tried to load her email there and her password fails and we cant get MS support to help us reset the Exchange online 2 admin accounts. both of which are failing to allow login. Her email account on her PC still works but we cant transfer it to the new phone nor reset her Password as neither admin account is accessible. She unknowingly deleted a old Gmail account which was one of the verification items to confirm her exchange admin. I did in the many phone calls get a human once and she gave me a ticket # and told me they would call back in an hour.... it has been 2 days now and no callback and i have called but can't get past getting hung up on by the AI Bot answering service. Any advice?

    The Security department Ticket number I Received from the phone Contact on Microsoft support is # [Moderator note: personal info removed] or [Moderator note: personal info removed] I couldn't be sure of the handwritten number, by the owner at the time of the call. Only the second digit was in question either a 6 or a 0 . I really appreciate your response!!

    Hi @William Moore,

    Thank you for getting in touch. I understand how challenging and stressful this situation can be - especially with both admin accounts locked out and no access to support channels. Losing verification methods after switching devices can make account recovery significantly more difficult, and I’m sorry to hear about the delay and trouble you’ve experienced with previous support attempts.

    To help you move forward, could you please send me your ticket ID via private message? This will allow me to review the case and assist you more effectively.
