A Microsoft offering that enables tracking of cloud usage and expenditures for Azure and other cloud providers.
Azure does not normally use the term root user, so first determine whether the locked account is a Microsoft Entra Global Administrator, an Azure subscription Owner, or a billing-account administrator.
If self-service password reset was previously configured, try:
https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/
If another Global Administrator is available, that administrator can reset or unblock the account and verify its assigned directory, subscription, and billing roles.
If this is the tenant's only Global Administrator and self-service recovery is unavailable, Microsoft Q&A cannot unlock the account. You will need to contact Microsoft support for tenant administrator recovery. Microsoft may require verification of tenant or domain ownership. Do not publish tenant IDs, subscription IDs, invoices, payment details, or identity documents in this public thread.
If another authorized billing administrator exists, that person may be able to address the payment issue separately while account recovery is in progress. Otherwise, include the billing impact in the support request.
