Hello

I need assistance regaining administrative access to my Entra ID tenant created through Azure for Students for the Microsoft Student Ambassador program . I accidentally removed myself from the Global Administrator role, and I was the only admin in the tenant. As a result, I no longer have the permissions needed to manage Entra ID or assign roles, and I receive a 401 – Insufficient Privileges error when attempting any admin-level action.

I have tried since Saturday to contact azure support, but I'm already tired of being tossed here and there with no help being rendered.
