Why can't I connect with account support after being locked out?

Topic summary

Locked out of a Shopify account and unable to access Account Support; attempts to open a ticket return varying error messages. The merchant states they have tried all standard troubleshooting steps and need direct access to Support to diagnose the issue.

Troubleshooting already attempted:

  • Multiple browsers, cache/cookies cleared, and incognito/private windows.
  • Re-attempting via the official support login links (help.shopify.com/en and /support/login). Errors persist and differ each time.

Community and staff responses:

  • A community member provided the general Shopify Support links.
  • A Shopify staff member requested screenshots of the errors and suggested trying the Support link through an incognito/private window again.
  • The merchant retried, confirmed the same failures, and uploaded two screenshots showing the error messages.

Notes:

  • The attached screenshots of the error states are central for diagnosing access and support portal issues.

Status and next steps:

  • No resolution yet. The case appears to be awaiting further review by Shopify after receiving the screenshots, with next steps not yet communicated.

I am locked out of my account and in addition cannot connect with Account Support to open a ticket. Each time, I get a different error message. None of this makes sense. I have tried ALL of the troubleshooting steps and just need access to Account Support so we can figure out what is going on.

Hi, [email removed]Mulays!

Thank you for reaching out here! I understand you’re not able to log into your Shopify Account and unable to connect with our Support team. Are you able to try this out once more and send through a screenshot of the error message please?

Also if you haven’t already, try accessing our Support link through an incognito/private window and let me know how that goes also!

Sure. We did try again and same issue. We have tried ALL of the troubleshooting including different browsers, incognito… ALL of them. We have received different errors.
