Locked out of a Microsoft Entra tenant where I am the only Global Administrator

I’m locked out of a Microsoft Entra tenant where I am the only Global Administrator.

The tenant was created via Partner Center, and the admin account is a guest (#ext#) user.

After Microsoft’s migration from legacy MFA to the new unified Authentication Methods policy,

the admin account can no longer complete MFA.

As a result, I cannot:

  • Access admin.microsoft.com
  • Re-register Microsoft Authenticator
  • Repair authentication methods

There is no other Global Administrator available.

How can I get access to my account again?
