Windows 10: Microsoft account was blocked

Hi there.

First of all i moved my question to probably wrong category as it must be somewhere under
microsoft cloud/authorization & authentication
category
and i hasn't found appropriate one in dropdown boxes below.


Next, all i need is to unblock account for my parent (she couldn't do that on her own) as it stays it was blocked. I moved to unblock page and it offers to send security code to one of mobile phone. I enetered mine one, clicked 'send code', waited for a while on screen but it rejects to continue to send code. I restarted browser, now i found that 'service is unavailable'. I believe that services like this should be available in 24/7 mode. And if it is not available for > 2 mins then someone should take responsibility regarding this!

:)
