How can I speak to an agent?

A user on our MicroSoft nonprofits domain has lost access to MS 365, even though there is a valid license in place. It is necessary to change that user's login details, as in: password, recovery/alternate email address and phone number. How to proceed in those circumstances?

Hi @Eamonn Doyle

If you still have access to the Microsoft 365 admin center, you can recover the affected user's account by following steps:

1.Confirm the user account is active and sign-in is not blocked

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center.Go to Users > Active users.
Select the affected user.
Check that the account is still active and check whether Block sign-in is enabled. If Block sign-in is enabled, disable it and save the change.

2.Reset the user's password

From the affected user's account page, select Reset password and generate a new temporary password.

Provide the temporary password to the user through a secure method. The user should then sign in with the temporary password and create a new password when prompted.

3.Revoke the user's sessions

After resetting the password, revoke the user's existing sign-in sessions so that previously issued authentication tokens are invalidated.

Please refer to this guide Manage authentication methods for Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication - Microsoft Entra ID |…

As this is a Microsoft 365 Nonprofit tenant, I recommend contacting Microsoft Support directly through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center or the Microsoft for Nonprofits Support Portal. You can create a support request and select either email or phone callback as your preferred contact method. A Microsoft support engineer will follow up with you and assist further.

Hi @Eamonn Doyle

I understand you want to chat with a live agent.

You may chat with a live agent by opening Get Help on the computer.

Type "Chat with an agent" and press enter.

Click the "Contact support" which is at the bottom.

Choose products and services you need help with, then follow the on-screen instructions to connect with a live agent.

Or, select the "Call me back" option and complete the information so they can call you.
