Okta Admin is Locked Out and Cannot Login

We were in middle of changing IT Support and my google authenticator TOTP code does not work anymore with Okta

We are currently locked out of okta portal with zero admin access to even open case with Okta support

    Hello @JafferM.93703 (Customer)​ , thank you for contacting Okta Community.

     

    If you lose access to your org's Admin Console, the only way to resolve this is with a support ticket. Opening a support ticket is a feature available to paid accounts. You can read more about it in the Workforce Identity Cloud Free Trial Account Support Policy Change article.

     

    If you have a paid production account with us, please leverage it to open a case via the support.okta.com site or call the support line (Customer Support Account ID number required). If those options are not available for you despite having a paid account, please contact your Okta Account Executive or Customer Success Manager, and they will be able to engage the Support team on your behalf. 

     

    Unfortunately, if no paid developer or production account is available, the only option left is to sign up for a new free trial or developer account. You may need to use a different email address.

     

    Alternatively, if you do not have a paid account but are interested in getting one, you can contact our Sales team. A paid account could be used to request assistance for a connected free account, but the Sales team would have more details on that. 

     

    Regards.
