MFA reset - Microsoft is not responding

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
I am the sole administrator of our Microsoft 365 tenant and have been locked out of my account for over three weeks due to a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) issue (stuck in a loop).
I submitted a support request with  but have not received any response.
I am unable to log in or create a new support ticket due to error code 500121, which prevents me from accessing the admin portal or any recovery options.
 
I cannot email Microsoft anymore as it directs me to the Authenticator which is not providing a code. Also the verification code is not working as outlook nor the authenticator is providing a code. I tried calling but I only get a robot which is disconnecting the line after instructing me to write an email.
 
This is really frustrating. How do I get a Global Admin Recovery so I can regain access to my administrator account? How do you reach Microsoft if they are not responding to emails?

    Use the Global Administrator Account Recovery Form
    Microsoft has a dedicated escalation path for this exact situation.
    Go to:
    https://aka.ms/AdminRecovery
    (This redirects to the “Can’t access your admin account?” support flow.)
    • Fill out the form carefully with:
    • Your tenant domain (e.g., yourcompany.onmicrosoft.com or your custom domain).
    • The Global Admin UPN (the account that’s locked).
    • Alternate contact details (personal or backup email, and phone number).
    • Describe clearly that you are the only Global Administrator and cannot complete MFA
