Question

Accidently lost access to our tenant!

Lucas Marques Dias 20

Since 10/27 we're not able to login to any Microsoft services using accounts from our tenant. When we try to access https://entra.microsoft.com/ the following error occurs: Error message: AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity. Trace ID: REMOVE PII Correlation ID: REMOVE PII Timestamp: 2025-10-27 09:44:40Z
Is it possible to reactivate it?

Hi @Lucas Marques Dias,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A Forum.

Typically, the error message you received indicates that your Microsoft Entra ID tenant has been blocked due to inactivity, and the tenant can only be reactivated within about 20 days from the time it was blocked. After that period, the tenant will be permanently deleted and cannot be restored.

Therefore, could you please reconfirm whether your tenant was created a long time ago, whether it has ever gone through a subscription payment cycle, and whether you have received any email notifications about the status of your tenant?

In the meantime, if your tenant was only blocked on October 27, the timeframe may still be valid for your tenant to regain access. For more details, please reach out to your Global Admin and ask them to refer to this article: Tenant inaccessible due to inactivity.

I'm looking forward to your update.

Hello Mia,

Thank you for your answer!

Our tenant was created more than a year ago, but had been widely used and we didn't get any notices from Microsoft neither by email nor in administration console.
Two days ago we successfully signed binaries in MSP Hardware program linked to this tenant.

Now on login attempt we receive message that account does not exist.

Can we request the reactivation with your help, or phone call is the only way to perform request?

Hi @Lucas Marques Dias,

Please understand that our forum is a public platform, and as forum moderator, we don’t have access to the detailed logs or backend systems needed to troubleshoot this effectively due to privacy and security constraints. Therefore, you cannot reactivate the tenant directly through this forum because it requires identity and ownership verification.So, the best course of action is to contact Microsoft Support via the phone numbers I recommended in my initial reply. This approach will help you create a support ticket when you no longer have access to your tenant. I strongly encourage you to reach out the sooner the better to avoid any delays.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused because forum moderators have no control over user accounts, especially when it comes to logging in to your account, resetting your password, or changing your access.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions or updates. I will do my best.
