Hi @Urmas Talvik
Because this involves a specific Microsoft 365 tenant and account, this type of error can’t be resolved publicly in this forum. Please follow these recommended steps to regain access:
-If there is another Global Administrator in the tenant, the quickest way to restore access is to ask them to follow this official Microsoft guide to reset the multi‑factor authentication (MFA) settings
-If you are the sole administrator for your tenant, you will need to contact Microsoft's Data Protection team directly by phone. Please visit the following page and reach out to phone number via: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support
From what I know, you will need to get past the initial AI system to reach the live support team. You can refer to the guide below for tips on how to get through more easily:
.If method 1 is not working, please follow this link to create a trial tenant: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/business/microsoft-365-business-basic?msockid=3eb6980b5c6860e63a588d0c5d1761d6 - after that you will be able to access to Microsoft 365 Admin Center to raise the ticket
Assuming that you have already created an account after registering a free trial and you can go to Microsoft 365 admin center and click "Help & support" icon to raise your ticket. The agent will be able to create a ticket for you under the affected tenant and then transfer this ticket to Data Protection team who could help you to regain access.
Please mention that you are raising ticket on behalf of the affected tenant that you do not have access to. The support team will help you to create ticket on the affected tenant then later on the Microsoft Data Protection team will assist you.
Note: This process will take more time than usual (7-14 working days) for your account to get access again as Data Protection is always overwhelmed with the number of tickets. As I am forum moderator, I do not have access to Microsoft internal system to assist or push this process to be quicker.
On the other hand, if you do create the trial and it resolves the issue, please remember to cancel the subscription afterward to avoid any related charges.
I hope my information is helpful. Please give me any updates once you get this resolved.
