Answer 1

Dear @Admin Chn,

Thank you for reaching out and I’m sorry to hear that you’re unable to sign in to your admin account.

Please note that Microsoft Q&A is a community‑based support forum. For security and privacy reasons, moderators and community members do not have access to accounts, tenants, or identity systems, and we are not able to reset passwords, MFA, or restore admin access directly.

Based on your description, this appears to be an admin sign‑in/authentication lockout scenario.

If your organization has another Global Administrator, that admin can sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center and reset MFA for your admin account, reconfigure Microsoft Authenticator on your new phone and restore your ability to manage purchases and billing

Your administrator can follow the guidance in the following article: Manage authentication methods for Microsoft Entra multi-factor authentication

 

Therefore, if you are the only administrator in your organization, then you need to involve Microsoft data protection team. Please try to find the related hotline number to call the frontline let them raise a ticket for you: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support 

In some countries, this is an automated conversation: First, when you call the hotline, they will ask you what kind of problem you are struggling with. 

Answer: Authenticator. 

A: What products do you use? 

B: Office 365 for business. 

Verification: Education or company account? 

B: For companies 

A: Are you an administrator? 

B: Yes. 

A: Are there any other administrators in your organization? 

B: No. 

A: I need one.... Service request? 

B: Yes 

  If your organization's Office 365 Business/Education subscription is from a partner or reseller, contact the reseller's support provider to help open a service request on behalf of you instead. 

 

If you still cannot reach to agent, there is still a workaround, you might consider registering for a new tenant by signing up for a trial subscription via this link Compare All Microsoft 365 Plans | Microsoft. This would allow you to create a new tenant following the provided prompts. Once set up, you can access the admin console of the new tenant and submit a support ticket requesting to speak with the Data Protection team on behalf of your previous tenant.  

Please remember to cancel the trial subscription once your issue is resolved to avoid any unintended charges.  

I understand that this entire process can feel long and complicated, and I truly appreciate your patience while working through it. These steps are in place to protect the security of your account, so I hope you can understand why they are required. I sincerely hope you’ll be able to regain access to your account soon. If you need help at any point, or if you have any questions during the process, please feel free to reach out, I’m always here and happy to assist.  

Thank you again for your understanding and patience.
