Windows 10: cannot reset password, i get "theres a temporary problem with the service"

This has been an asked question here before, but i cannot for the life of me find a fix. I have tried different devices, browsers, cleared cookies, cache, upgraded to windows 11, etc etc etc. no matter what i do, i cannot change or reset my Microsoft account password for my main email. funnily enough, i CAN change and reset my password for all my other accounts. just not this one. i really hope someone can give me some ideas on what to do

Login Password Problem: There's a temporary problem with the service.

Hi Microsoft,

I am keen to resolve this issue as the answer provided does not resolve.

As outlined above, I have followed Steps 1, 2, 3. When I get to Step 4, I select the Send a code to my phone option (Call ** ******47), I then insert the last four digits of the phone number as requested and I receive the following
error:

• There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.

Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue to reset or recover the password such that we can log into Windows???

This did not work.

I am STILL receiving the following error when attempting to reset:

The suggestions so far have not helped.
