Dear @Dwayne Walker,

Good day! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

First of all, I would like to clarify one point: this forum is intended for users to assist one another. No one, including myself, has the authority or the tools to resolve issues related to refunds or subscription cancellations on your behalf.

Regarding your situation, if you need help accessing the Microsoft 365 Admin Center to cancel your subscription because you don't know your domain name, please try to find the related hotline number to call the frontline let them raise a ticket for you: Technical or Sales support phone numbers (for Work account, scroll down to find your region's number)

In some countries, this is an automated conversation: First, when you call the hotline, they will ask you what kind of problem you are struggling with.

A: What products do you use?

B: Office 365 for business.

Verification: Education or company account?

B: For companies

A: Are you an administrator?

B: Yes.

A: Are there any other administrators in your organization?

B: No.

A: I need one.... Service request?

B: Yes

(Important Note to reach a live support agent: Sometimes, you would hear the computer-generated voice at first, please kindly wait for it to end, and if an agent is available, you would be directed to them and get your support. Depending on your country or region, when you call the support number, you may hear an introduction of about 30 seconds such as "You can visit the link...". You can ignore this introduction and wait until you are presented with the options. Then press "1" as a business email user, and again "1" for technical help.)

As an alternative, you can create a new tenant account and submit your request from there.

To set up a new tenant, please follow these steps:

Visit Compare Office 365 Enterprise Pricing and Plans | Microsoft 365, choose any plan and click try for free to start a free trial.
Follow the guided setup process to create a new account for a new tenant.

Once your tenant is created, you should be able to access the support portal and submit your ticket referencing your locked account without further issues.

Ticket Support: Log in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center using the newly created trial admin account (not the currently locked one) > Support > Help & Support. You can raise support ticket at: https://admin.microsoft.com/#/support/requests

When you open a support ticket, please make sure to turn off the Support Assistant (AI) in the help panel.

Several customers have reported issues when the Support Assistant is turned on the system sometimes fails to display the “Contact Support” option.

As shown in the screenshot, simply switch Support Assistant > Off, then type your issue description. Once the AI is off, the “Contact Support” button will appear normally, allowing you to submit a ticket directly.

For more details, you could refer to this article: Get support for Microsoft 365 for business
This new trial tenant will not give you access to any of the data or settings in your original locked tenant. It is solely a temporary means to contact Microsoft support.
Be prepared for Microsoft support to ask for verification of your identity and administrative rights for the locked tenant.
The resolution time might be longer as you are contacting support from a different tenant.
Remember to cancel the trial subscription for the new tenant once your issue with the original account is resolved to avoid any unintended charges. You can typically do this within the Microsoft 365 Admin Center under "Billing" > "Your products."

If access to the admin account is restored, you'll be able to review the organization's domain information and manage the subscription directly from the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. From there, you can cancel the Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscription, update billing settings, and make any other changes to the tenant as needed. Once access has been regained, you'll have full control over the subscription and its associated services.

You can try the following steps outlined in this article: Cancel your subscription in the Microsoft 365 admin center

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Go to Billing > Your products
Select the subscription you want to cancel
Choose Cancel subscription and follow the prompts

Kindly let me know when there are updates or if you need further assistance. Any updates you’re able to share would be really helpful.

I'm here and happy to help! Thank you for your kindness and patience!

For Microsoft 365 Business Basic, cancellation is done in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Open the subscription details page.
In Subscription and payment settings, select Cancel subscription.
In Options for canceling your subscription, choose Cancel now or Cancel before the next renewal date, then select Next.
Select a reason, add optional feedback, and select Cancel now.

Important details:

If the subscription has 25 or fewer licenses, it can be canceled online in the admin center.
If it has more than 25 licenses, reduce the license count to 25 or fewer first, then cancel.
If a custom domain was added to the subscription, that domain must be removed before canceling.
Before canceling, users should save any OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online data. After cancellation becomes effective, users lose access to data, and remaining customer data might be deleted after 30 days and no later than 180 days after cancellation.

About the domain name:

If a custom domain was added, it must be removed before cancellation.
If the subscription is tied to Outlook.com features, business subscriptions do not provide Outlook.com consumer subscription benefits.

If cancellation cannot be completed in the admin center, contact support for help. A support phone number can be found through Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support.
