Answer 1

Dear @AL SHAHAD EQUIPMENTS REPAIRING DUBAI,

Please note that since your account is belonged to an organization, none of moderators could help you with this while your account are belonged to an organization to do this action. Kindly follow these steps:

If you are an end-user or there are other Global Admins:

Please contact your IT Admin to revoke your MFA. Manage authentication methods for Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn

If you are the only Global Admin of your tenant:

Option 1: The IT Admin may need to contact the Data Protection Team at the service phone number via this link: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support.

The main objective is to go through the IVR (automated system) until you reach a live agent and emphasize this very important security factor. Please help me try this script below, this is a commonly used script for authentication issues to bypass IVR, but you can try to see if it helps get through the system. Please help me to speak loudly, only keywords, clearly and patiently waiting for the machine's response. First, when you call the hotline, they will ask you what kind of problem you are facing with.

Answer: Authenticator.
A: What products do you use?
B: Office 365 for business.
Verification: Education or corporate account?
B: For companies
A: Are you an administrator?
B: Yes.
A: Are there other administrators in your organization?
B: No.
A: I need one.... Service request?
B: Yes

During the call, you must provide information related to the subscription, such as your company name, billing history, phone number, and alternate email address. This information helps data protection teams verify identities and securely regain access to administrator accounts.

Option 2: Create a new tenant with trial subscription to access and submit a ticket in the Admin Center.

If you still can't get in touch with a real person for help, help me try the following:

Sign up for a free trial (new tenant with trial subscription) of Microsoft 365 at this link: Compare All Microsoft 365 Plans | Microsoft. The goal is to create a temporary tenant with a Global Administrator account so that you can sign in to the Microsoft Admin Center. Once connected, you can submit a support ticket directly to Microsoft. Please remember to cancel the trial subscription once your issue is resolved to avoid unwanted charges.

Once you contact the Data Protection team, you will be required to provide proof of ownership of the company. This allows them to verify their identity and help reassign the Global Administrator account.

I hope the information shared helps point you in the right direction.

As a moderator, I do not have the tools to investigate your specific account directly, as this is a support forum between users. Moderators and collaborators, including external Microsoft employees, may not directly intervene in the functionality of Microsoft products or access internal systems. Our role is limited to providing technical guidance on reported problems, requests, or ideas. However, I will do my best to guide you as clearly as possible.
