I am administrator of the tenant. I lost Microsoft Authenticator app and MFA. I am able to change password, but I can’t reset MFA. I can’t login and create a support ticket in Microsoft 365 admin center. I was calling to Business support phone, but it requires to enter 8-digit extension which I don’t know. I need to reset MFA on my account.

Hello Kestutis N,

The issue pertains to a tenant lockout, where no other global admin in the tenant has the necessary permissions to login and make changes in your tenant.

To resolve this, we have engaged our Data Protection team through a support ticket. They will reach out to you via email or phone to help restore access to the tenant and assist in resolving the issue.
