I am the Adobe Admin Console Administrator.  The IT team all changed thier password and each of us got an email from Adobe telling us we no longer had admin rights on the console.  So we can no longer log into the Console, we cant report this as we cannot get in, its like catch 22.  Surely to god, there is someone we can email or call, after over 2 hours on the phone yesterday to "Customer don't Care", after being passed around left right and centre I acheved nothing, the phone went dead.  Who should I talk to? If you say log log into the Admin Console and raise a case I may be tempted to be rude.

Hi All,  back on, (Woo hoo)  I eventaully got through the right Dept although this is not advertised on the web the Enterprize Support Number for UK is 

08000 280441

I have summitted feedback. I have said that as you dont advertise the Enterprize support Number then at least breif your firstline cuctomer support to either give the number or put customers through, instead of juts passing therm around the sytsem for 2/3 hours and not getting enywhere.  It ashould not be this difficult, if should come up in a google search.  If you loose access the the Admin Console , you cant tell anyone, thats just a bit silly.  Not to mention changing your AD password should not strip you of your Admin rights on the Adobe Admin Console, which it did.

Just to say, at least the contract owner has always access to the admin console, except if there is a bug in Adobe's handling of this.

use a browser that allows popups and cookies and contact adobe support by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human

p.s you can also use phone (but chat is usually quicker), https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

p.p.s. you can also use twitter to tweet @AdobeCare

p.p.p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-community/td-p/12919684/redirect_from_archived_page/true

Customer care is not for enterprise accounts, they don't handle that stuff.  Inded, You are supposed to use the Admin Console to raise a support case. Yes, I know you can't; I'm not sure Adobe thought of that. I don't know if there is a telephone enterprise account. But I think I read you may have to start again, this was a really catastrophic action by IT... this is perhaps best thought of as "how do I add an administrator if the last one is lost" rather than "how to I get back that doomed account".

Glad to hear it and thanks for sharing the UK number. I don't think Adobe deliberately hide access, it's just the effect of how they structure the info. Amounts to the same thing for frustrated customers...
